35weeks 5days!! :/

I am 35 weeks 5days & miserable.. everything is in pain & I have a sore throat & stuffy nose... I can't wait to have my baby.
I'm not planning on trying now but does walking &/or sex really help? I dont wanna go over my due date (dec17) & have to be induced.. & if it does how soon would i start walking? (38weeks?) & how long?


Why does the last 4weeks go by so slow???!!!! :/ I'm miserable!!

With my first I induced her with castor oil (4yrs ago) but I'm not planning with this 1 because I want her to come naturally & not force her out..

Walking worked for me!!

How long did you walk for??

I started at 37 weeks....walked at least 3 days/week for at least 30 mins. I had already lost my plug though. Had baby at 39 weeks.

i'm not sure about encouraging labor to start but i do know that walking and sex will speed it up. i've been informed that hospital policy here is to labor at home until contractions are 5 minutes apart and then head to the hospital. and you better believe i'm gonna be walking constantly until they are!

I'm 36 weeks and i have days when i want her out but i'm just thinking about how fast time has gone and i know i'm gonna miss her little feet sliding across my belly. i'm due 2 days before you, we're almost there!

btw, just because you go over your due date doesn't mean you need to be induced. it's not an expiration date, it's an ESTIMATE. if you go a day over 40 weeks, who cares? let your doctor know that you wanna wait a little longer to give baby a chance to come on it's own   i won't be induced until 10 days overdue and i'm PRAYING that it doesn't come down to that.

I'm already 1cm dialated as of last Monday.. I go back tomorrow & hopefully she gives me good news. Since then I've been having mini contractions. & I try to walk as much as I can. As of tomorrow she is free to come whenever since she's not premature anymore.   I am just gonna walk up & down stairs to get the ball rolling..

Im tryna walk & have sex as much as I can...
Hopefully that helps.. I do not wanna go over my duedate. My 1st was 5days early but I induced my labor & I'm jot planning on doing it with this 1.. I am already dialated 1cm but i do know I could stay that way for the next 3 weeks. I'm just really excited to have her home..   I heard being induced sucks so I wanna try anything I can on my end to avoid that. i know baby will come when she wants but anything i can at least try to help her, I'm willing to do.
