how can i start contractions at home

Any tips on how to labor as long as possible at home?? I want to give birth with no interventions and I know that's a great way to start off the process!

They have been 3 to 4 minutes apart..I cannot sleep. and every little move I make hurts so bad..I can feel the baby pushing down really hard..sometimes it feels like shes going to make my water break. Although with my son they had to break my water so i dont know what it feels like when a baby causes it. I try to walk around every day..most of the day because the dr keeps sending me home because i've been 3cm for a month and not changing..i am 100% effaced[or however it goes]..

Wow usually its the opposite way around. I was in the hospital because I was having contractions at 29 weeks. The doctor told me I was dehydrated and to drink nothing but water. Lots of water. So your doctor to you to keep your bladder empty? How is that possible when our bodies constantly needs water!? Lol pregnancy is so confusing!

I had my OB do a membrane stripping. It sounds awful but it wasn’t painful at all. If I were you I would also try doing pelvic floor stretches to open up your hips, and swimming helped me too! I had my baby 4 days late, but she was healthy and I did it with no medications/ no IV/ no epidural/ no interventions. It was beautiful. Keep up the good work!

Wow... They will keep me at the hospital today but the Dr will break my water tomorrow morning.. They said they are going to start with cytotec first to start the contractions.. I guess I won't see my little baby till tomorrow.

I stay home until my contractions are 3 mins apart for about 15mins at that point I start getting everything by the front door so my husband can load up the car and I make sure all my lights are off. I just try to stay home as much as I can I usually get to the hospital by time im 7cm and im usually there maybe 2hours before my baby arrives. Once my water gets broke i dilate to all the way with in 2-3 mins.

Everyone keeps advising me to rest but how can I when I'm having contractions that are really painful.

I did just that they kept me for 5 hrs and my contractions were real, but never dialated so I was sent home. I was in pain for about 3 more hrs at home and all of a sudden they stopped completely. Next day went to Dr and he said I had experienced false labor that the real deal would feel 10x worse. So I kind of got the idea now.

m 37w 2d and I just wanted to know when do your doctor send you to the hospital after you start dilating? I went to the doctor on Friday and I was 3 cm dilated, and I go back to the doctor on this coming Friday and I'm scared that my doctor will send me to the hospital. But I'm not having any contractions!

I had contractions right away after my water broke witg my first. My second my water broke and i had no contractions at all. My third i made it to my scheduled c section date. And im still pregnant with number 4. Lol.

That's How I Was, But They Didn't Even Give Me The Chance To Walk Around. I Just Got Sent Home. So I'm Goinq To Dr Thursday And Hopefully I'm Past A 2 ! Do Squats!

s doing good now. I hope you were able to bring her home right away, i know how hard it is to leave your baby in the hospital my first one was premature and had to stay in the NICU. Good luck and congratulations!

I'm 36+3 with my second child. I was induced at 39 weeks with my first so I had a day set and everything with that. Now with this one I will wait till labor actually starts. Does your water just all.of a sudden break? Or do you have contractions before. Is it like an all of a sudden thing that starts of do you have a feeling your going into.labor? Did you feel different a week before you went into labor? Just wondering cuz I'm alittle nervous on not knowing when its gunna happen.

If I were you I would be doing what I can to keep baby in not doing things to help speed up the process to get him out. Not trying to be mean but you really need to let him come when he's ready. Sounds like your already headed in that direction naturally... no need to rush him out.

I'm 37 wks I can't take it any more I'm sick with a stomach flu and I'm just so tired all I do is lay here my husband is so upset because I don't even talk to him or anyone anymore and I feel so alone as is but I can't help it I don't want to talk I always feel like I'll cry if I talk.. My doctor didn't check me for dilation or effacement yet and I haven't lost my plug but my baby is lower and lower every day...

If they see is safe for the baby to born now, I heard you can walk a lot to tried start the contractions or drink the castor oil.

I think u should stay at home,drink lots of water,recite surah yaseen n surah maryam.its good u got ur steroids shot and ask ur doc to give u progesterone injection as it will help u to move atleast 37+ weeks with ease.may God bless u.

At the hospital they just monitored me and then said everything was fine that I could go home but before I left they said I was having irregular contractions. This morning I still feel them but they are fast apart. Is there anything I can do to help kick start my labor I'm 38 weeks 2 days pregnant today. Please give me your advice.

What can I do to jump start this labor I'm so ready to get this over with I'm 37 weeks and a day somebody please help! !!!!!!!

Any at home inducing methods or methods to help you face that worked for you mommies?? FTM..

Same thing happened to me... I went in a few times and they monitor me and send me home, its been going on for a few weeks now and everythinh is still ok Thank God... Drink alot of water and try to take it ez... Everytime i start getting them i drink alot of water and they go away, if they dont i would go to l&d... When u go in dont leave not knowing what u wanna know, ask to talk to a doctor and have him/her explain what the contractions mean and if u should be worried or not...

last night i had what i can only describe as fullblown contractions. i was very tired and trying to sleep at the time so unfortunately only timed the last 3, which were 40 seconds in duration ( normal for me for a contraction ) and coming every five minutes apart. i guess this was happening for about an hour and a half. after i'd timed 3, i was going to ring the hospital and then, as suddenly as they'd came, my pains stopped. i have had painful braxton hicks this time around...

Lol... Omgsh.... Like im always wondering. So does the water just break or am i gonna bleed tooo?

I posted earlier today I was having contractions every 4 mins...etc etc Went to hospital as I was in agony and still am... But they sent me home apparently it's not real labour it's becoz my baby is back to back facing the wrong way.. Midwife told me to go home rest and get. Some sleep as I haven't slept in nearly two days due to these contractions how the hell can I sleep!!! I can't even sit Still !

So my husband is outta town, I'm 37 weeks so I can't travel. I am having consistant contractions! They hurt a lot. I can't drive and I definitely want this little boy to wait till daddy is home!!!! Omg the dat we've been waiting for and daddy isnt here! He's on is way tho, as soon as I called he yelled to his mom (family member passed recently) the babys coming get me coffee to go! Lol I love my husband but I hope he hurries its a 16 hr drive home and I think I'm leaking.

I am 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant and I know how to time belly contractions but how do you time back contractions? Does anyone know that can help a mother out .

So I had a drs appointment with a specialist on Monday. When I got there he checked my cervix because I have a short cervix. Well when he checked me my cervix was funneling. So he sent me to the hospital asap. I'm only 25 weeks. Tuesday morning around 4:30 I was having contractions. They gave me pills to stop my contractions. We then discussed getting a cervical cerclage which is a surgery to put stitches around my cervix to keep it closed but decided not to because I'm already 25 weeks.

s this shot called 17p the Dr gives it to you and you can get it starting at 16 weeks!
