what has anyone done to??
I'm thinking about what to do to coax this girl to come a little sooner than later so I don't have to have a csec... I am trying for a VBAC after my 11 yr old daughter was a emergency c sec.
Dr said today he will only let me go over a week, and no more.. she still has while yet since I am 38 weeks Now
Reason I don't want to have a csec if I don't HAVE to right now, is boyfriend is here to be with me for the VBAC and a week after She is born, but he has to go out town after that .. I have outdoor woodburner and there is No way I can haul wood and load it if I have a csection, and I have noone else to help me to do it for me, except maybe unload it near the woodburner, and id have to check and fill it 2x day..
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU HAVE TRIED THAT HELPS COAX THEM?

I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions to help you go into labor sooner but is there any way that your doctor could at least move up your csection date or induce you so you can have the baby while your boyfriend is here to help you?

I swear by the yoga ball. You sit on a yoga/exercise ball and you do hula hoop motions -- first to one side 10 or 20 twists, then the other way for the same number, then you bounce lightly for 2 minutes. Repeat as long as you want. It helps the baby descend which can kick-start labor. I did it for 2 hours the night before I went into labor with DD. Of course, I was 39+4 that day, so she may have also been ready to come lol.

When I had my son I went to Green Cactus and put like 4 things of hot sauce on one burrito! A few hours later I was in labor!

Re: what has anyone done to??
I went to 42 weeks *trying* to VBAC my daughter and i tried EVERYTHING-walking, sex, spicy food, swings, pressure points done professionally, castor oil twice,stripped membranes twice and the only thing that seem to work ( making me contract regularly and breaking my water on it's own ) was......nipple tweaking! It's super annoying but it's kept the contactions coming and my water broke by the end of the night. Sadly i had a really crappy neglected midwife who left me strapped to a bed for 23 hrs so my vbac ended up a failure. However I am trying to VBAC again with a Dr. recommended from ICAN and his only suggestion is trying to keep the baby under 8lbs but i am terrified of the pressure of going over 40 weeks. I feel for you, I know the anxiety all too well

Re: what has anyone done to??
this is going to sound crazy, but I bounced and did hip rotations on the yoga ball while listening to The Planets (a classical piece that is really loud) and within a few hours my water broke. I was 38 week exactly.

Well I started the Evening Primrose today...... Im very active .. I have to feed my outdoor dogs in the barn... take care my 3 horses... walk and check fence lines etc. had to break down and start up the wood burner tonight ( since its going to be low 37 and possible frost... Robert here and helped me on that one though ...
HOPING she decides to come this week... Really want to avoid the C section...and do the VBAC ...Since during the recovery of i have csec I wont have anyone here to haul the wood from barn to the wood burner, most the wood isn't too heavy so if i had to I could load the wood burner and start it IF i have csec i wont be able to haul the sled of wood, that's the problem.
Dr wont induce me sooner, since the last time I was induced with my daughter it didnt work, and he feels csec if I go over would be best.... Next Dr appt is September 25th @ 39 weeks
sooo going to ask again what can be done if she isnt here yet...
They have not checked or done a intenal yet, so probly will do that next appt....

Re: what has anyone done to??
Oh man - good luck! I'm trying for a VBAC and that's my biggest fear, not going into labor. I have a few months to go, but let me know if anything works! I heard about evening primrose, walking, sex and nipple stimulation. Best of luck to you!!!
