Advice please
Hi mommies!!!
I am 37 weeks pregnant, and I am all clear for labor. Jsut waiting on baby boy to make his entrance. But yesterday at the OB , she checked to see if was dilated, and I am not. My cervix is still closed. The only option she said to help was basically sx with my husband lol. But then I ask about pumping, she actually recommends not to, only it just makes contractions worse and appear when there not supposed as in like forcing them to happen and that my body should just not be bothered or forced to produce milk yet when it’s not ready, mind you, I have been leaking from my boobs since 16 weeks. Any advice ladies please?

My doctor said studies support 6 dates a day, raspberry leaf tea, and hand extracting colostrum (not pumping) after 36 weeks so I’ve been doing all 3! I am 37 weeks yesterday and half a centimeter dilated so no guarantees it’s working 😅 but worth a try?
My due date is September 9 too!
Buy a hand pump! I would collect colostrum if it was me
I'm not sure about others, but I'm trying not to provoke my baby's coming. Yes, I bought dates, raspberry leaf tea, pineapple juice, and do my exercises, but that's mostly to not tear. This is my third, and I needed stitches for both, and I truly don't want to go through that again. I am 36 weeks and 4 days today, and yesterday I was told I was 1 centimeter dilated. I hope to have more time to help my body get ready but then again I'm dooone being pregnant.. its been rough
