Tips

Hello I am 38+2 with baby number 2 any tips on how to naturally start bringing on labour? I went a week over with my first and the thought of being pregnant for another 3 weeks gives me the fear😅 I am so ready for baby to make an appearance hahah but I know baby will come when they are ready- I have been told I will be offered a sweep at my 40week appointment though if he's not here by the 10th of January suppose that's a bonus 😅

Sweeps are allowed from 39 wks, I’m having one on wed at 39! Feel like I’ve tried most other things 😂 am getting lots of cramping, but not progressing 😩

Some things I've been told are good to try.... Raspberry leaf tea, dates, spicy curry, sex!! Also you could try getting some acupuncture or reflexology as they can do certain points to help ripen the cervix and induce labour. I have no experience of any of this working as this is my first pregnancy... Just things I've been told! But always worth a try I guess 😅

I think keeping active is key, regular movement, walks and bouncing on the birth ball
