If you want pregnancy tiggers my friend took Castor oil with BOTH of her pregnancys and only hours after taking it she was in labour and baby came shortly after.

I drank mountain dew and went into the hospital and they were nervous about the heart rate and admitted me...lol I mean I didn't do it on purpose, but it got her out 7 hours later!!

- Lots and lots of walking will help to bring the baby down.
- Hot showers for when you are in pain.

Try not to stress out. Just relax. Your doctor can't just do a c-section because you are 40 weeks - you can wait a little longer. There has to be other reasons why they would need to section you. If anything they would try to induce you first and if the induction failed (meaning they have tried every possible source for inductions & it isn't safe to wait any longer) then they will consider a c-section. (I'm a labour & delivery nurse, BTW).

Good luck & congrats!

WOW your body still looks good. I hope I can be like that. Good luck on the delivery. They had to use a suction vacum on my sister to deliver my nephew. Anything is better than a C-section.

thank you
that is what I was thinking, they can't just cut me open.. but don't like half of inductions end up with c-sections anyway? I know a c-section would be worse for me.. but what about the baby? is it a forced "normal" delivery better that just "taking it out"... pfff this is hard.
I just came back from a veeery long walk btw

I did that with my first one the day of my due date and nothing. I also power walked for 2 hours and nothing. I actually ended up being induced with all three because labor just doesn't naturally progress.

I have an 8 month old and the best advice I can give you is to take the last few days you have left without the baby and just relax. I cannot stress enough the importance of sleeping because when the baby arrives you'll be shocked at how exhausted you'll be.

I had a c-section and the actual procedure was nothing. Didn't feel a thing. The recovery was honestly hard though. As long as you have a good boyfriend/Husband or family member to help you everything will be fine.

Remember: relax, sleep and see a movie if you can. It will be a long time before you do again.

Best of luck to you. The first 2 weeks with a brand new baby were really hard for me but things got better as the days went by.

Did you rub anything on your belly throughout your pregnancy to get no marks? Or are you just one of the lucky ones?

I did actually.. I rubbed sweet almond oil every day after shower since I found out. it's 100%natural and doesn't leave any greasy marks on the skin.

Thanks to everyone for all your wishes

I second the castor oil. that stuff is NASTY but helps. don't take alot because it can bring on diarrhea. i was due with my son on the 21st but he wasn't ready until the 26th. your due date is just estimated so i wouldn't really start worrying until you were about 42 weeks - your lil babe will start your labor when she's ready - but i think they don't like you to go over 42 weeks. the placenta can start to get old and if you really don't want a csection do not let your doctor influence you. stick to what YOU want - be firm - it's YOUR body.

as far as going natural i wish you all the best. i takes a lot of support and concentration and having a doctor that is very c-section friendly will make it hard. you are in a different state of mind and it's so easy to fold and take your doctors suggestions (drugs, csection etc unless of course it's an emergency) when you are in labor. make sure to surround yourself with people who support your natural birth position - when you are in natural labor you'll need someone to act on your behalf - to speak up for you about the decisions you've made. it's kind of hard to talk when you are going through a contraction - especially when you are doing it naturally.

i was very lucky and had no problems during my pregnancy, labor and birth. i did it naturally and honestly it was not THAT hard or painful.

i think it's really important to be prepared for natural birth. have u went to a natural birth class? learned remedies for dealing with the pain? have you made a birth plan to give to your doctor and nurses? that's an easy way to inform them of what you want and what you don't want done. watch that ricki lake documentary! walking was the best thing i did when i was in labor and along with doing most of the labor at home (not getting to the hospital too early - think i left for the hospital when i was 5cm and having contractions every 5 mins). walking brings the baby down and opens up your pelvis - oh and taking showers helped me also. because i did it naturally without any problems my recovery was super easy. after delivery i was able to get up and walk to my recovery room.

anyhow i wish you all the best on your natural birth. hope everything goes the way you want it to go. if you have any questions about natural birth lemme know!
