How can i get things moving along?

Question

my doctor told me on Tuesday that i would have the baby in the next day or two. well today makes day 4. how can i get this baby out. Effaced 70-80% dilated 2cm and 0 sation. Any suggestions. I have tried sex and walking.

Answer 1

I've heard eating spicey foods and some herbal teas really help. Also try walking up and down stairs. Sperm and having an orgasm are also rumored to help.

Answer 2

Thats all u can do is try walking maybe some light jogging,cleaning up around the house and having sex...if these dont move things along quicker than u will just have to wait until the baby is ready..I was dialated to 2 centimeters for 2 weeks and tried walking,jogging,having sex,major cleaning everything possible but i still didnt give birth until i was 41 weeks *and that was being induced*..baby will come when he/she is ready..good luck!

Answer 3

Did you have protected sex? Becuz sperm will help you dilate. I'm not really sure what else you could do. Theres always nipple stimulation. But personally playing with my own boobs doesn't turn me on and supposedly thats what is supposed to cause labor. They say castrol oil but that makes you vomit and poop so much it causes you to go into convulsions which causes contractions. Honestly that sounds horrible t me and not worth it. When you walk you have to walk like forever like hours.

Answer 5

Do more walking go to the mall if you are in a cold climate and walk for hours! If all else fails go to the hospital & tell them you want to be checked, if you are a 4 they usually keep you & induce

Answer 6

You should talk to your doctor about induction. Please don't try castor oil or any herbal treatments, they can be dangerous to your baby. Get an exercise ball and straddle it and rock back and forth. Keep in mind that you may have to be induced, some women don't go into labor on their own. Congrats to you!

Answer 7

"shifting issues alongside" may be egocentric of you. besides the incontrovertible fact that slightly one might nicely be born at 34 weeks and stay to tell the story with scientific help, would not you sacrifice your convenience for a healthful finished term toddler? As for the watermelon feet stay off of them, placed them up. Shortness of breath lay on your left area, oxygen bypass to you & toddler is larger in this place. I even have this tiny step stool this is one step and that i placed that for the duration of my mattress place a pillow on it and lay on my left area and placed my feet up on it whilst I sleep sounds uncomfortable in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it facilitates a ton and is not any longer as uncomfortable because it sounds.

Answer 8

keep doing what your doing. go out and work in the yard if all else fails go to the hospital and have them check you, you might be moving along more than you think.

Answer 9

Walk some more, if that doesn't work nothing will.

Answer 10

Eat something spicey.
