Answer 1

Everyone one is uncomfortable at this stage. You will just have to deal with it unless your doctor tells you different! I can hardly get up from bed myself I so know the feeling. Don't do stupid things like "jumping" to get the baby out faster. Its not worth it if something goes wrong! Just be patient. If your that excited and really cant wait. Lay down on your back and wait till baby moved think about what it will look like once its born. That's what I do it helps ease the time! Good luck and congrats!

Answer 2

Tylenol sleeping pills are dangerous for your baby and unless your doctor has adviced it then I would suggest you don't take anymore.
Call your doctor if you can't bear it anymore. Inducing your own labor is dangerous for you and the baby. And making a baby come before it is ready can cause complications up the road. The baby is due anytime from here on and if you can hold off the baby will fair much better. Be patient and give it time unless the doctor agrees to induce you. But remember anything that is used to induce you whether you do it or the doctor will bring the pain on alot worse.
You need to be off your feet and if you can get some help during the day from family and friends take advantage of having them chase your 2 year old.

Answer 3

Nipple stimulation. My daughter is 8 yrs old, but when I was pregnant it seems like the last month was SO miserable. I did learn however that nipple stimulation releases a hormone much like the artificial hormone given to induce labor in the hospital. Ihope you've had your baby by now.

Answer 4

Talk to your doctor and explain this to him. Maybe he can induce your labor. But you can help too by walking, eating spicy food, or even trying to have sex. These are things my doctor told me to do!! lol None worked and I ended up being 2 weeks overdue and finally he had to induce me. Good Luck!

Answer 5

First your want to talk to your doctor about your pain to see if that's the best choice. Try talkong to family members or real friends about helping you care for your 2 yr old.

Answer 6

You could already be in labor. Some women experience contractions in their back and not even know they are contractions. I think I would contact your doctor. And if you haven't already...pack your hospital bag!

Answer 7

consult your doc... he/she will definately consider it becuase of the discomfort/pain but also because of you other baby...the cirtainty of a due date is much better than waiting for the other shoe to drop and its prob not easy running after a 2yr old in that shape :) hope you deliver soon :)
peace be with you

Answer 8

You should contact your doctor, you might be having back labor. Back labor it is much harder to tell if your having contractions or not. I had back labor with my second child.

Answer 9

If the babies head is turned around...his hard back of his head hitting your spine...that is what it feels like. Call doc...but if he induces with piticin, you will proably have a c-section...good luck.
