re: Went to L&D last night....and help with labor please!

Quoting Phyllis Brown1982:" Other than nipple stimulation which produces a hormone called oxytocin that can cause contractions, intercourse ... [snip!] ... soon. I know it can be hard to relax when ur so excited to meet ur lil one but believe me if u can u'll be glad u did later."

I definitely plan on trying some of these! I am hoping it will work, and I am walking every day too, so I am hoping Wednesday I will have dilated a few more cm  ! Thanks for the advice, I do plan to stay away from Castor Oil lol, my ob said I will get nasty cramps that I won't want :/

Quoting pitbullprincess:" Just saying you really really dont wanna be in active labor and not have progression if your body is ... [snip!] ... body is ready just keep walking and wiggling those hips hun if not sadly you can join my pity party of how bad this crap hurts "

I'm a member of that pity party. Due the same month as you lol.

FREAKING SUCKS
You have active labor and have to pray and cross your legs LO doesent come out because medically there isnt squat that can be done other than go against what your body wants to naturally do

I haven't had preterm labor this pregnancy so far, but I did with my two year old around 26 weeks.
Did they give you the steroid shot for baby's lungs? You'll be 27 weeks tomorrow, just stay off your feet and try and keep LO in there as long as you can.
but if baby does come, I think odds of survival are around 90%.
