Any tips for avoiding induction again?

For context I have been induced 3 times at two weeks over. Babies never want to vacate lol this time round I would love to not have to have an induction. Are there anything that people have done that has helped? I’ve tried before all the usual walking,sex,spicy foods,pineapple, tea etc

Have you tried doing a membrane sweep? I have heard trying to express your Milk can help.

Try acupuncture (induction/labour prep) it is done many weeks in advance. It is not a "one time deal".

Sweeps, nipple stimulation (collecting colostrum), etc. will help get your hormones flowing.

At 37w , start doing the Miles Circuit and do side-lying releases to help create space and help baby to put more pressure on your cervix and.... well.. remember that despite all these encouragements, babies are born on their birthdays. 😉

Have you had this experience ?

I had my anatomy scan last week and baby looks great! 🥹 Everything looked normal, which was such a relief. When I reviewed the official report afterward, I noticed a diagnosis code that said “Supervision of high risk pregnancy,” and of course that made me a little nervous.

I messaged my doctor about it, and she explained that technically I’m labeled “high risk” because of my starting pregnancy weight (206 lbs), but she reassured me it’s not something they’re actually concerned about in my case. She emphasized that everything looked great on the ultrasound, baby is healthy, and I’m doing amazing so far.

That definitely made me feel a lot better, but I’m curious—has anyone else been told they’re technically high risk just based on weight around 200 lbs? 🥴

Post partum body pain

Was anyone else's body just destroyed after pregnancy? In a physical sense, not just worried about how it looks.

I am just in pain pretty much all over, I have shooting pains in my feet and ankles, I have what seems to be plantar fascitis and all sorts of foot issues causing me pain but my legs hurt up to my knees most days. I have awful back pain and shooting pains in my pelvis which I wake up with every morning. I'm also exhausted pretty much all of the time.

I used to gym 5/6 days per week lifting weights and now I feel like I can't even climb the stairs most days.

I just want to get back to living my life, not feeling crippled. Has anyone had the same?

Labor

What was everyones first signs of labor? Or how did it start? FTM and I’m unsure if I’m in the early stages of labor.

Is this a good enough reason to consider doing a weight loss pill?

I am a big emotional eater/bored eater. I hate it and Ive tried so much... No matter what anytime I'm bored or sad I can't stop myself.all I think about is food and no matter what or how much I eat I always want more until I literally get sick...Do you think that's a good enough reason to go on weight loss pills?
