i’m a bit confused by what you mean do you mind explaining? usually people aren’t induced before 37 weeks unless there’s an issue which poses a risk to baby or unless your 40 + weeks .

Induction of labour is usually when your 37 weeks plus unless there’s a medical reason for you or baby or both that baby needs to come sooner.

I wouldn’t go for an induction unless you really need one.

No earlier than 37 weeks. From 37 weeks you can start drinking raspberry leaf tea to help soften the cervix. Curb walking. Going on your ball.

There’s no natural way to induce baby to come early. Baby will come when they are ready to come.

Treat it like a first pregnancy, it may be your second but after 10 years your body will need to relearn what to do. Its not gonna magically pop out a baby like muscle memory

Does anyone else have kids that sleep through the night but they’re still exhausted all the time?

It’s honestly awful. I was taking Adderall again, and it helped so much. I had taken it for years before being pregnant, quit cold turkey twice, and never had any issues or withdrawals. I’ve realized at this point I’ve become dependent on it to get through the day, and when it doesn’t work I’m miserable, so I decided to stop taking it, and man. I feel it this time. I also feel like there may be an underlying issue I’ve been ignoring and masking with the meds that needs to be dealt with, so I made an appointment with my primary for next week to do bloodwork. I’m 14 months postpartum. I have a luteal phase defect I never had before in my life that the OB said would resolve with time, but it hasn’t. They haven’t been very helpful otherwise. I have a chin hair that suddenly appeared I’ve never had in my life postpartum this time. I have panic attacks sometimes. I feel like it’s my hormones, thyroid, or some vitamin deficiency. During my second pregnancy I had crazy fatigue that didn’t feel normal, and it turned out I had low vitamin D. Maybe that’s the issue again which will take weeks to improve after supplementation. I also used to get naps every day, but my 2 year old doesn’t não anymore unless she’s in a car or stroller, so I lost out on that. I’m just so tired all the time, but I’m getting 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep every night. What the hell? Is it being a mom? Is it just that that’s making me so exhausted? I do have 2 toddlers.

Hi, moms I need some advice! I’m 32 weeks pregnant . all day today I’ve been having a bit of cramping/pelvic pain really bad just below my belly. should I go get checked out?

Induction method

Second time being induced. Just got the news today that I'll be induced on Sunday due to calcium on my placenta, baby measuring on the 5th centile, and reduced movements.

First time I got the pessary put in, was extremely sore and unpleasant and took 36h to finally being 2cm dilated. I am not sure I want this again.

Any recommendations on induction method that worked well for you and didn't take forever?

Thank you girls!
