Due in November but aiming for October ?

Im due in November but I’ll be considered full term next week at 37 weeks . Is it selfish for me to try and self induce labor to get my huge baby out of me !! What are some things I can do to try and go into labor ?

Only you can tell whats best for u and baby, plus no one knows how u feel about your body but u x

If you’re full term then I don’t think it’s selfish no haha. Spicy food, pineapple, raspberry leaf tea, bouncing on a yoga ball and also some one on one time with hubby 🤭

Get your partner to do labour inducing reflexology with clary sage oil x

@Becky going to try !!

Im 37 weeks on Monday and would be very happy with an October Baby haha, Im just doing normal things people say can help with easy labour raspberry tea, yoga ball, dates. Ive heard some people do clary sage baths and drink castor oil. 🤷‍♀️

I'm the same, I'm due the middle of November and honestly I'm DYING for baby to come out. I asked my midwife and she said google it but she wouldn't recommend spicy foods because it's not fun for you or the person at the other end if you get my jist😂

Acupuncture started my contractions last pregnancy!

I'm 37+2 and due 30th and absolutely want this baby sooner. I'm struggling now. Literally 2 days and my cramps and my pelvis and everything all of a sudden is hell. 37 is full term so no issue.

@Bethan is this a sign of labour coming on do you think? I've started cramping today with back pain and feel awful

Go for it! Nothing you do will likely work instantly anyway

@Valentina Mcillmurray honestly no idea. I'm hoping so because I literally cannot imagine feeling like this every day for the next 3-5 weeks! First pregnancy here too!

Honestly, nothing you can do will induce labour unless your body and the baby is ready. They're all old wives tales, if they worked we'd do them all every time and no one would go over due and everyone would plan which day to have their baby.

Yep. Midwives will tell you only sex or a sweep are reliable ways 🤷🏼‍♀️

No mama trust God's timing Why try to do it your way.. U waited from month one now why be so much on pressure. Trust God he already planned wen and how u shall give birth Trust God's timing all will go on so very well

I’ll be 37 weeks on Monday as well and I’m begging God to let this child come by the end of this month. I honestly cannot go till due date, everything hurts 😭
