How can I get my baby to come early?

Question

I am 35 weeks pregnant and I am sooooooooo tired ! I want to have my baby already. some say to walk but its not working any suggestions?

Answer 1

sweety i know its tiring but the earlier it comes, the more of a risk of health issue there could be. you've made it this far. i promise you the relief of making it to the end is worth a week or more of weariness. you just need to find someone to slave for you for these last couple of weeks so you can be relieved.

walking does help though. keep trying. dont forget the sooner its ready, the sooner you're welcoming contractions. hope your ready for youre epidural.

Answer 2

Will My Baby Come Early

Answer 3

Don't try to induce your own labor.

Did you know that 1 in 8 babies is now born prematurely? Fertility treatments are one reason why, as they often result in a multiple pregnancy, and multiples tend to come earlier. But a second reason is that parents and doctors are inducing and doing C-sections early, and the estimated due dates can be wrong.

A premature baby faces a host of possible health problems, some of which are lifelong. Even a baby born at 38 weeks--"full term"--is more likely to experience health problems and incur high health care costs than a baby born at 40 weeks.

Your estimated due date is just that: an estimate. It can be wrong by two weeks in either direction. So you might be 35 weeks, you might be 37, or you might be 33.

There is no proven technique to bring on labor. People will say rocking in a rocking chair or walking, and it's true that those activities can help to thin your cervix IF and ONLY IF your baby is ready. People will also say sex, but a recent study showed that sex not only didn't bring on labor, but actually delayed it. Other studies have contradicted that finding, so you're welcome to have fun trying, but don't go into it thinking that it will help to end your pregnancy, because it likely won't. Other techniques, like herbal teas and castor oil, are both ineffective and dangerous. Stay away from them.

If there is a medical reason why you or your baby would be better off with him/her out than in, then your doctor will induce you. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.

It just kills me that the same women who fuss about whether or not they can drink coffee or take cold medicine or go for long car rides during their pregnancies are willing to risk everything at the finish line...

Answer 4

I think that you should just be patient and wait until the baby wants to come out. When you do have your baby, you will be more tired because He/she will waking up at night. Every 2 hours..

So take it easy and get as much rest as possible....

I am 31 weeks and I can't wait to have my baby too but I am being patient because I know what too expect.

Answer 5

Walking is a very good idea ,but i wouldn't be wanting to have my baby earlier then the 37th week. You should ask your doctor for some ideas, walking is also good for other reasons while pregnant, besides right now you can sleep as much as you want{if this is your first} when the baby comes you will be more on his sleep schedule then your own. So enjoy sleeping in late while you can.

Answer 6

You are way too early to be trying to induce your own labor. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR YOUR BABY. I know you are tired. I am due thursday and trust me I completely understand but you aren't even considered full term yet..
Wait a couple weeks it is better for your baby!

Answer 7

The being tired thing is not going to get any better once that baby is out. Because unless you are giving he/she up for adoption, you will be the one carig for him/her. So try your best to rest now and let your baby finish developing. A baby is not considered full term until 37th week.

Answer 8

I can understand you being sooooooo tired. The last month is very difficult but please keep in mind your baby's lungs are the last organ to mature and even at 35 weeks they may not be ready to deal with breathing.

Try to take naps and put your feet up whenever possible and eat well. You will need the energy long after your baby is born.

Answer 9

First you should wait until your at least 37 weeks. the way doctors calculate your due date is based on the first day of your last period. which could be inaccurate. you have a window space of having your baby 2 weeks before or after your due date. so right now its a possibility your baby could be a preemie if you try to induce labor now.

Answer 10

Trust me, I know how you feel. But even being a LITTLE early can put your child at risk. My daughter was only 2 weeks early, but it caused her to have bad jaundice. Had to go in to the doc every day to get her heel poked and her blood tested. Had to have her on the Bili lights machine at home, PLUS it made her really sleepy, so it was hard to feed her because she kept falling asleep. Even being 2 weeks early had made her liver sluggish, and her whole digestive system was whack for 10 months. She couldnt handle anything but breast milk for those 10 months. Remember that being a parent is doing what is right for your child, no matter what it costs you.
