Im 4 weeks away from my due date, and i cant take it ANY MORE! Running after a 2 yr old is exhausting and im getting more and more warn out and i cant do hardly anything. I cant see my own feet or put my own shoes on anymore. Anyone know any suggestions or tips to safely bring on labor. Im already 2 centimeters but im not getting anywhere else. And im on STRICT ORDERS from the DOCTOR....NO SEX!!!! so other than that and walking what can i do??????? ↓

It sounds like maybe your doctor doesnt want you to go into labor quite yet. And maybe thats why he advises against sex. I know its hard but it is best to wait it out and let labor come on natually. I am 35 weeks preggo and i feel your pain but I want whats best for my baby and that means staying in the womb for as long as possible. Try waiting another week or too before trying to bring on labor. it wont happen until your bodys completely ready anyways. ↑

the doctor said that the only reason i couldnt have sex was becuase the last time i did try, it caused me to bleed. But he never said anything about anything else. I know its best for her to stay in as long as possible. I walked for months with my first and it helped a little but she did eventaully come out, and she was a little early....only 3 wks and 1 day. but i walked for months. So i know anything i do is not a guarantee. But i just wanted to see what other kinda things there where to try. ↑

Well there is always nipple stimulation. That always brought on contractions for me. You just take turns rubbing each nipple for about 10 minutes each. Do that as often as possible during the day. It sounds bizzare but it worked for me eveytime. My daughter was born 2 weeks early! ↑

My doctor told me it was ok to drink one tablespoon of castor oil. it is ssoooo nasty, but I was 4 days past due and miserable. So I swallowed it with some orange juice to kinda help the taste, and I went into labor that night. Dont know if it was a coincidince, but hey its worth a shot if you are that uncomfortable ya know? You can get castor oil at your pharmacy for like 2 dollars......one thing I didnt mention is that it gives you the runs bad so if you try it make sure you are at home! good luck :) ↑
