Ok, I need ideas pls

Jenn and Val's comments made me think of asking you ladies this.  Pls give me true-tested ideas on how to speed up this labor.  And pls don't say s-e-x, b/c it is out of the question (again, I am so envious of you, ValWink)  Bleeding+placenta previa= no sex per dr's orders ( I know my dr is no fun)

Re: Ok, I need ideas pls

  • Can you bounce on an exercise ball?

    This may be a dumb question, but since you are having a c-section due to previa anyway, can't they just take her now?


    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

  • I did a lot of walking the day my water broke and a lot of kneeling and getting up.
  • Thanks for the ideas.  Kim- I have a dr's appt tomorrow, so we'll see what my reg ob will say.
  • I did some shopping the day I went into labor and I second the exercise ball. I also started drinking red raspberry leaf tea at 37 weeks. Oh! And a few days before I got a pregnancy massage - suppossedly reflexology can do it.
  • I bounced on the ball, walked, had sex and ate a lot of pineapple.
  • I agree with Kim. What's the point of going into labor if you are going to have a c/s? Hopefully she'll schedule you for this week!

    If you are not having a c/s, try everything mentioned above. I actually just returned from BRU, I bought some red rasberry leaf tea.

    The dr I saw in L&D wasn't my reg dr, and he was the one who confirmed or reconfirmed the placenta previa.  Actually, the ob I will be seeing tomorrow is not my reg ob either since my reg ob is on vacation.  Of course, he would take a vacay when I am about to go on labor! So the whole c/s thing has not been discusssed for a while since my reg ob was convinced the placenta had moved up and that I can have a vaginal birth.  So we'll see what happens tomorrow.  I will more than likely ask to be scheduled asap.  The whole bleeding thing scares me.  Fortunately, lil G continues to be active. 

  • We had sex and 24hrs later my water broke. I got nothing else.

    A lady always knows when it's time to leave. Gabby will come when it's time. 

  • I had a pregnancy massage that was much rougher than my first one and I swear that's what brought it on for me.
