Waiting…

Bouncing on the ball, smelling clary sage, drinking raspberry leaf tea, eating pineapple, eating dates, going for walks, reflexology booked - nobody will ever understand the desperation levels unless your full term pregnant 😂😂

This is me. Trying to get baby out before induction date. I've been taking evening primrose oil too, trying to get baby out the way they got in, going for reflexology today to try and budge them.

I’ve got reflexology booked too!! Let me know what you think, I’ve never had it before!

Does the clary sage feel like it does anything? That’s the only thing I haven’t tried loool. For me it’s eating the pineapple and the dates and then vomiting due to the SEVERE acid reflux 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I've never had reflexology either and to be honest feet give me the ick, including my own. Don't know how I'll cope with someone touching them 😂 @Eloise I put clary sage in the humidifier but it makes me light headed. Rubbed it on my wrists and bump and has done nothing so far. Same with the reflux 😂 taking glugs of gaviscon before any thing I'm eating.

@Kaylee I did reflexology with my first I just found it relaxing personally! I’ve just ordered some Clary sage to come tonight. I’ll try anything🤣 oh yes gaviscon is a MUST

Acupuncture worked for my first! Good luck xx

@Kaylee Omg Clary Sage made me lightheaded too!!! And a bit breathless and sleepy lol thought I was going mental but turns out it can drop your blood pressure 🤣

@Heidi I had no clue about that!! I've low blood pressure already 😅

@Kaylee Same with the low blood pressure! I had a quick Google and then was like ffs 🥲 did you get on alright with rubbing it on your skin? I’m a bit wary now! Haha

My midwife told me to just put a few drops on a tissue before you get on the ball to bounce and just leave it in front of you whilst you do your little routine so you can smell it at the same time, and then flush the tissue away once you’re done!

@Heidi I didn't just put it on directly, u have stretch mark oil which I added two drops of the clary sage too. It had zero effect, could barely smell it. The dehumidifier seemed to make more of an impact

Currently 37+6 and got an induction book for tomorrow.... Been admitted for the last week and have tried anything and everything to get baby out by themselves to try and avoid that induction.....

With my first I tried the lot! Walking, birth ball, curry, chilli, pineapple, dates, raspberry leaf tea, sex, nipple stimulation… plus had 2 membrane sweeps. Sadly none of it worked, but it was worth a shot! I feel your pain lol
