I'm Currently Feeling:  | Labour...
right, bit of a situation...
my boyfriend due have op on 22nd december im due on 27th
he lives 248 miles away for me, so if possible i need try and encourage my baby to come say hello early, i know people say come when its ready, but i really need to try otherwise i'l be doing it all without him and i really dont want to do it on my own, hope can understand where i am coming from.
so any ideas, i dont care how stupid they may sound, im willing try anything.
thanks  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Under normal circumstances you will only be offered a sweep at 41 weeks.
I know im also impatient and also want my baby, I see your reasoning but I really dont think that it can be overly healthy to try and force labour upon yourself or your child unless you really need to in which then it would be taken into the hands of the midwives or NHS.
Im sure your OH wouldnt want you to do anything either that may put yourself or baby at risj especially if he is undergoing an operation himself.
Rasperberry leaf tea etc arent to induce labour they are to help ripen the cervix making labour and birth easier.
Again with the pineapple its not the core that should be eaten, Pineapple works as a laxative which is why it is recommended but it dosent mean it will work and for it to work as a laxative you have to eat a substantial amount.
Sorry to be a kill joy, I know we all get impatient. Im the first to admit but nature will take its course when bubs is good and ready x |
