I am 40 weeks and miserable! I have done everything to kick start labor naturally......?
I want to go to the hospital but I am worried they may just send me home. I cant take this and want her out so I can meet her. I only have 6 and a half weeks left off from work and she still isn't here! I want the most time I can have with her. I have pain but not enough, its like she doesn't want to come out :0( and I am so miserable. I have tired everything! Except castor oil as I would never drink some crazy nonsense like that, but I have had sex, masturbate, spicy food, bounce on the ball, walk till my feet get numb, walk down the stairs.....I mean **** what else can I do. I just want to go to the hospital but worried they will send me home :0( please any advice would help, no smart comments please, if you don't want to answer then don't, thanks
**Jenna sweetie did you not read what I wrote at the bottom of my question? If you read fully no one is being lazy. And yes I do think she isn't ready but i was just asking for advice, nice advice.....please keep your sarcastic opinions to yourself. Thank you.
**Janis, thank you. It's actually tomorrow lol so yes I was going to ask my doctor if she could strip my membranes, my cousin did it and she is a nurse. It worked for her but it took a week. Thank you and I will keep walking, today we took our dog to the park and along the river and walked for almost 2 hours....nada lol thanks for the advice, hopefully the sex tonight will do something ;0) thank you
**crumbcake No i will ask tomorrow then for a stress test, didn't think about that so thank you :0) I read some where else that pineapple helps and I ate that and nothing, sometimes milk bothers me and I have had the runs a few times and that didn't do anything, she seems not ready but dang my stomach can't get any bigger lol, you would think I am having twins because I am a small woman. I just want her out so I can spend every second with her before I head back to work, that's my biggest concern, she is at a very healthy weight and is full term. I want to wait but then don't want to :0/ I really don't want to rob myself of the natural delivery (1st baby) but then I only have a lil bit of time off from work so it's hard. Thank you

When is your next visit with the doctor? I would ask to have your membranes scraped. It's pretty painful but not horrible. I had that with two pregnancies, the first time it took a week to work and the second it took one day. combine that with sex and walking and you should go into labor. (Just don't have sex if your water breaks because you could get an infection.)

im in your same boat im 41 weeks tomorrow.. did you get scheduled for a non stress test to see whats the hold up? mine is tomorrow? but i tried everything you have but i also ate alot of pineapples my mom said they have something in them.. and also ate curry chicken.. that was 2 days ago.. i am now having some early labor.. so try pineapples.. but everything else is crazy nothing hasnt happened yet... my midwife says "thats just the more reason the baby just is not ready".. that could be it. but eat something that would irritate your bowels... thats y they say drink castor oil.. i wouldnt that sounds a lil wierd.. but if you know any foods that give you the runs.. eat it! that caan cause the uterus to start contracting..

Go get a pedicure tomarrow, there are actually pressure points in the feet that can cause labor to beging, wierd i know but when we do pedis on pregnant women at work we have to be very careful not to rub thoes spots, so go get one and have her rub them good!

you will get some night primrose oil. it incredibly is sole in pills as a nutrition suppliment. You prick the top of two pills and insert them on your vagina at bedtime (use a pantyliner, i've got heard this gets messy) it incredibly is going to ripen your cervix without inflicting great stressful hard paintings like the medicine they supply you.

Did you ever think "Maybe it's not ready to come out yet"?
Just because you're getting lazy doesn't mean you need to rush the birth.
You have no choice but to wait.
Women have been waiting for centuries.

Keep going for walks and keep having sex! Hopefully that will work for you.
