40 weeks tomorrow; induction day; NOT dilated!
Hey mammas. I can’t believe it’s 40 weeks tomorrow! Unfortunately, I’m not dilated at all. I’ve been trying to start labor myself (dates, raspberry tea, pineapple, nipple stimulation, but not sex because I’m worried about the pain!)
Nothing has happened. I did have consistent contractions on Wednesday but they went away after I ate and never came back.
Worried the contractions from induction will be more painful than actual natural labor contractions. I’m scheduled for induction tomorrow, my actual due date.
Anyone have suggestions on other ways to stimulate labor naturally or what to expect if I have to be induced? I’m a first time mom and nervous 😥 Baby is very big!

Curb walking! I’ve never done it (40 weeks and 3 days over here) but I hear so many people say it sends them into labor.

Here is someone that was dilated to a 1cm and got induced a few days ago on the app. She’s sharing her experience. Might be a little helpful on what to possibly expect. Good luck ❤️
You’ll get there! Also my doctor told me some women don’t dilate until you’re actually in labor. Everyone is so different. But I’d definitely keep doing everything you’re doing and add in curb walking. Good luck and you’ll have your little one in your arms soon ❤️
