Avatar m tn do you want to start a group to share the tools we find useful for ourselves for pain?
Avatar n tn Hey everybody I am trying to induce my labor because I do not wanna have any type of c-section.does anybody know anyways to induce labor with exercising or with at home tools or foods. .........PLEASE HELP..........
Avatar f tn It seems like it is fine to do them except as you get closer to the end of your pregnancy. There are massage points on your ankle from what I am told that will trigger labor. To be honest with you, I haven't had once since I found I'm pregnant.
Avatar f tn s perfectly fine. The warning about the calf massage sending u into labor is just a pressure point of some sort. Just let them know.
Avatar f tn I find them pointless. Nothing can prepare you for your labor all labor stories are different. Some women just slip the baby out so it would be like what's the point and some women are in labor for 12hrs or more and nothing can prepare you for the pain.but that's just me.
Avatar f tn It helps a lot with breathing and relaxation for labor, helps induce but it also is healthy for the baby, it helps them to become very active which helps for counts.
Avatar f tn If you get a professional massage ask for someone who is trained in prenatal massage and instead of going to the local spa, go to a sports injury clinic. Talk to your Ob to see if they will prescribe one so your insurance will cover. As for those that are only getting feet massages- watch out..there are mire pressure points that are supposed to bring labor on there than anywhere else in your body. Check youtube for where they are.
Avatar f tn It's to help minimize or even prevent tearing during labor :)
Avatar f tn Sex sex sex ! I wasn't overdue but I wanted my son to come on his expected due date so I was told to have sex and I did all nite long as much as I could take ! (Sorry tmi) it wasn't for the pleasure it was for my contractions to kick in and the next day my water broke !!!
Avatar f tn For that reason, a lot of places will not give pedicures or massage to pregnant women. I actually went in for a prenatal massage and was turned away because I was in my 3rd trimester.
7281235 tn?1390751402 Hi! I really don't think your in labor. Loosing your mucus plug doesn't cause dialation. There is no definate way to tell when your baby will come. You can be 2cm for the longest or even 4cm and not go into labor, even with contractions. I've been in labor for a week and im at 3 cm with contractions but ive been this way for a while now.
Avatar f tn I still have no idea, I've just been tools that it's you're body's way of preparing itself for labor. Like, cleansing out your body before we get to the delivery table.
Avatar f tn From about 7-9 months get an exercise ball and have your bf/hubby massage your tail bone area for about 30 mins a day then 10mins of hip swivers This one you can.
Avatar f tn I think every women experiences labor differently. For me it definitely hurt but was different with both kids. My daughter i had extremely bad front and back laborand my son was just front. My epidural didn't work with my son so i was forced to experience it natural.
Avatar f tn I read in europe if mom is pos then during labor some midwives will use hibiclens instead of antibiotics during labor.
Avatar f tn Does anybody know what kind of place you would go to to get a pregnancy massage?? Really need one.
10444971 tn?1411572350 With my first my labor nurse did the massage all through labor and delivery. He was 8.1 and I only needed 1 stitch.
Avatar f tn Did any of you moms get a massage during your pregnancy if so how was it? I'm so usual on getting a full body massage but ever since I've been pregnant I haven't gotten one... Is it safe ?
Avatar f tn If you want to rush it along quicker try walking around the house n cleaning a bit.. Or as my friend has told me for when its my time, massage your boobs or have your bf/husband do it. Thats what she always did. Walk around n massage her boobs n it always sped up her labor.
1209036 tn?1299178657 t know how you feel come labor time, all your plans for during labor should be written in pencil. You may think you will love a massage with tennis ball for your back during labor, and then you can't stand to be touched! You won't know until you get there. Personally, my mantra was "natural, as long as I can". Especially during your first labor, you don't know what your tolerance for pain will be, so leave it open to change with your doctor.
Avatar f tn How often have you had your partner give you a perineal massage to help with labor?
