Almost there!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Today I went to my 37 week appointment and I got the infamous cervical check. And I got great news in my opinion at least. I am 3cm dilated and 50% effaced. Now im really going to try to get natural labor started! I do have my induction date set for July the 6th. I want to try anything to get this baby out naturally before any medications come into play. My dr said it herself Iโ€™m full term and eligible to try anything to get labor started. So if any of you guys have any advice to get labor started that would be so great honestly! And not to be harsh but I donโ€™t need to be told that itโ€™s not safe to wait it out till Iโ€™m 39 weeks none of that pleaseeee. Iโ€™m going based off of what my dr said. With that being said does anyone have advice pls Iโ€™m in pain and ready for my baby to be here๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

My understanding is that most of the things have some evidence for shortening early labor, but not starting contractions which is what induces labor. But nipple stimulation can start contractions. If you want to go that route I would look up some of the research on how it was shown to be effective. I don't remember how often or how long but I remember thinking it was more than I expexpected

Announcement

So my husband and I finally announced our third pregnancy to our family.

The reason we waited so long is we had many losses between my oldest son who is four and my current youngest who is eighteen months old. We never thought we would have the privilege of having a third because of our pregnancy journey being fought fear.

I had a leaking SCH for the first several weeks of my pregnancy making me think every time I was loosing the baby. And I still question every symptom but now that we're nearing 14 weeks I feel so much more comfortable with having this baby. Still praying and hoping for my healthy baby boy.

What gestation did you have your first / second babies??

I had my first at 38weeks6 days and Iโ€™m currently 38 weeks with my second.

What are the chances Iโ€™ll have my second earlier than the due date?

Iโ€™m so over it and the heat is not helping ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿคฃ
