38wks I Need Advice On Helping Him Come Sooner. Plz Help Me Posted: 12-09-05 15:42pm
I am going to be 38wks monday. I told my
doctor that I wanted to have my son before
my due date. I asked him about castor oil
and all he said was that he did not think
that was a good idea that it just makes
you sick and that he will come when he is
ready. I did not want to here that at
all. So I asked him to check to see if my
cervix had thinned. He was like no
dialation, and 50% thinned. So I am
wondering how do they really know jsut by
feeling that I have thinned. I have been
wearing panty liners and there has been
brown discharge. But I am not sure if
that is like part of the mucus plug. (i
have had notthing slimy yet and I am not
sure if he has dropped, midwife says he
has not, but the way it feeels when I walk
I swear I think he has. So question is
how do I make him drop and how do I make
him come by next week pls help. This
weekend I am going to make my husband go
walking with me. Oh and is it possible to
really be 50% thinned? Or was he just
trying to give me hopes. And when he
checked me he really hurt me, he pushed so
hard on the uterus that I felt my son
ball p at the top of my belly. And then I
cramped the whole way home.Sex does not
even hurt that bad. Whta did he do?

Hi, I don't have the answers on everything
that you are asking, but I can tell you
that I had a friend that wanted her baby
to come earlier too, and the doctor said
to her that there is nothing that they
could do unless it was life threatening to
her or her baby and that the baby will
come when it is good and ready...Her baby
started gaining weight rapidly in the 8th
and 9th month of her pregnancy and they
were thinking about inducing her because
the baby was getting more and more
overweight...But as a week passed by she
ended up going into labor on her
own...Also my cousin danielle was told by
her ob/gyn to walk a lot and to eat spicy
foods I think. I am pretty sure she said
spicy...But as for any woman every
pregnancy is different..Just try to take
pride in knowing that you are more than
likely going to have a full term baby and
most mothers can only dream of that...=)
good luck

Here are some things that my Dr. Had
suggested that I do when I was overdue:
have sex- there is a hormone in a man
semen that thins the cervix
walk
(this sound wierd) sit in a bath tub and
stimulate your nipples for one hr.
It releases a hormone that can help bring
your labor on.
Now all that being said I still had to go
in and be induced at a hospital, so dont
know if it works for others or not but
these were all recommended by a Dr. To
me.
