I’m currently 39 weeks pregnant today. No signs of princess wanting to come out apart from Braxton hick pains I’m getting. I just want her out now.
When I see comments that people have had their kids at 37/38 weeks makes me want her to come even more😂
I really don’t want to be induced, I’ve tried so much walking, pineapple, raspberry tea leaf (which is absolutely horrible)😩 nothing seems to be working!!
Come on princess! It’s your turn to arrive into the world now!😩❤️

I’m in the same boat

I know the feeling. Hang in there. I'm now in the May group as I'm 40+3 today and really don't want to be induced again. The waiting is making me impatient now 🤣

Same here, 39+3 she needs to get out now 😅😂😂 xx

Same here 39 + 3 and getting bored of waiting now 🤣

All of these methods of getting them out are just a tease. A hormonal change needs to happen for labour to begin, the ONLY things that can trigger that to happen earlier is a artificial oxytocin, a sweep or intensive nipple stimulation. I firmly feel the rest are just myths and it all comes down to baby being ready x

Oxytocin!!!! Stay happy. Do things that make you happy.
I went over 12 days with my first. Was in a horrendous relationship. Second one came day late.
Hoping this one will be at least on time but I know now that chilling out and keeping happy and not fed up is the best thing I can do. Xx

Literally how I feel!! Everytime my son is pressing /kicking my belly I say to him "the exit is down!!" 😂 just want him now!

I went until 42 weeks last time haha . My waters broke on the exercise ball.

sex its produce prostaglandin its a hormone that is released when you have the sweep

You at 39 weeks you should be able to ask for a sweep at your next midwife appointment which can kickstart labour in 12-48 hours, most ladies say it’s effective!

Yes I'm booked in for a sweep the day after my due date and a few days after. Just hoping I don't need it by then and she's already here!
