Pray with me that this baby comes naturally on its own. I have an induction scheduled for 41 weeks since today is my due date and I do not wanna be induced. I heard it’s bad and would prefer natural.
What can I do to encourage the baby to come?

Have you had the membrane sweep done yet?

I'm praying we both have our babies naturally, my due date was the 20th and I'm still waiting 🤞🏻

I declined today because I heard it hurts and I wasn’t sure if it was necessary.

oh wow 😯 I’m praying too 🤞🏽 hopefully our babies quit being stubborn and come out. I don’t want anything forced

@Tika I fully understand that, I thought the same thing and I ended up going through with the membrane sweep and I went into labor and had her less than 24 hours after the sweep was done. The initial sweep on a scale of 1-10 was a 4, and then it's smooth sailing until I went into labor

Praying for the same. 🙏🏾 Come on little stubborn babies!

look up “positive inductions” on TikTok. Really put my mind at ease.

Praying for you 💜 I had to be induced due to it to being medically necessary- at 37 wks. It was positive , and my water broke naturally. Thank god! I pushed the baby out in 6 minutes. I was discharged the next day. I completely get the fear though, it was the scariest thing because of the unknown

Prayers tika. 💕💕💕💕💕

I went to the doctors today and asked just this. They said sex (semen specifically) helps bc it has a hormone used to soften the cervix. They also recommended looking up miles circuit.
