Going Into Labor Early, What Works Best?
I am now less than 2 weeks away from my scheduled C-
section. However, its the holidays and I am more than ready to go into labor. If your an impatient mother like me then I know your ready to get this show on the road. Like me, your also asking everyone under the son from grandma to co-workers how you can make yourself go into labor.
I have been asking a lot of people lately and I have received a different answer from everyone I talked to. Co-workers told me to walk a lot, sweep the carpet in my house, and bounce on my inflatable exercise ball. Friends have told me to walk around and relax. My hairdresser told me to drink a little castor oil and that will send me into labor in no time.
With all of this advice flying around its hard to know what and who to believe and what is going to be safe for me and my baby. The vast majority of people I have asked say that if the baby wants to come out she will come out and nothing can make her come out early.
I have decided to just do more walking and sitting on my exercise ball. Any exercise feels good right now. Sitting on the ball feels great for my aching bottom and hips. I will just have to be patient and wait to see if the little princess feels like surprising us before New Year’s Day or if she has decided to show up fashionably late.
What labor myths have you heard? Any one thing work for you?
