I’m almost 34 weeks and starting my labor prep. I’m drinking a cup a day of red raspberry leaf tea, pelvic floor physical therapy, and keeping active. I’ve heard taking birth tincture is helpful, birth prep capsules by dr Christopher and perineum massages but later on in pregnancy. The miles circuit Ive also heard about for getting baby ready for birthing position but not sure when to start that either. What are you ladies doing to start preparing for labor?

Drinking raspberry leaf tea as well. Also, eating dates and pineapples.
For exercise I’m Squatting, Walking, and bouncing on the ball.

try doing primerose oil, im starting at 36 weeks with it but do your own research

I was told about this as well. Does it work? I’m 36 +3 and considering it. Also does the capsule itself just go into the hooha? lol just clarifying

i did it with my 2nd and i legit only used 3 dose 🤣 and had him that same week but i was legit use my yoga ball for everything and i was on it consistently
i’m gonna start at 36 again this time around and yes it goes into the vaginal canal
start off with 500 capsules and you can up your dose i messed up and orders 2000 🥴 so i think i’m gonna let them trickle a little maybe massage around the outside of my Vagina because i tore with my first but with my second he came out smoothly 🙂🥹

I got the 500mg capsule.. so I insert it once a day? I’m not getting much clarification from Google haha.

I've been doing the following exercises throughout pregnancy but especially now
- pelvic tilts
- tailor sitting
- deep squats
-
I recently added the following exercises on my birthing ball:
- hip circles
- half lunges
- figure 8s
- child pose on the ball (so relaxing!)
I was thinking of drinking red raspberry tea leaves and eating dates but my OB said there's minimal research to support it though I can do it if I want to. Decided against it and focusing on movement instead

try youtube videos i started at 500 and then up the doses to whatever your comfortable 🫶

With my first
Pregnancy i did everything to prepare for birth. I did daily walks and exercises. I literally have no energy now being pregnant with my 2nd. I’ve been busy potty training 😪
