I just got back from my 39 week appointment and I was excited to find out that I'm 1cm dilated! While this doesn't tell me much about when I'll go into labor (it could still be any time between today to 2-3 weeks from now, which I already knew), but at least it's a sign that I'm making progress and my body is doing what it's supposed to.
They won't even talk about scheduling an induction until I'm a week overdue. Soooo...I might start trying some of these rumored "natural" ways to help induce labor:
- Walking
- Raspberry Leaf Tea
- Fresh Pineapple
- Curry or other spicy foods
- Bouncing on an exercise ball
- Jumping jacks
- Drinking castor oil (yuck!! won't be trying this one)
Doubtful any of the above actually work...but they're worth a shot! Hopefully I can share some good news with you all sooner than later :)
