This is just a post for all the people who come on and say negative things to women about inducing their own labor. I am currently going to be trying to induce myself. Everyone has their own reasons, and with me, this is my second child and after being sick and in pain and depressed my ENTIRE pregnancy, I believe it is time. There is only soo much a pregnant woman can take. I dont know any pregnant woman that could easily deal with stress, and pain and being sick and being depressed for 9 months and it not have some type of mental effect on her. And as far as "hurting" their baby, even if something does, then its their own personal problem and it doesnt give anyone any right to tell someone else that they are wrong and are trying to kill their babies. let everyone deal with their own thing and stop being so dang rude. We are pregnant and are going to do what we want, we were big enough girls to get ourselves pregnant, Im sure we are big enough to take care of our own problems. :)

Hi Ashlie. I will try to keep my response brief but as you well know, pregnancy often brings a lot of emotion. I firmly beleive that every person has a right to judge, it the part in which we condemn that often puts in a position of trouble. Yes, each of us were able to make our decisions, and we were each big enough to get ourselves pregnant, with this in mind, it was our decision, not that of the child in which we are carrying. I have nothing against doing things that may naturally induce labor as long as they do not effect the small miracle each of us are carrying. If the induction of your labor can cause harm to your child, you may want to reconsider and remember that your child did not ask to be born, your brought him or her into this world. I wish you the absolute best of luck as I know exactly what it is like to be depressed and scared and hurt, etc. I am 39 weeks pregnant, have been 2 cm for two weeks and more anxious than you can ever imagine. I have walked, and walked and walked some more. I even told my boyfriend that he had to s_x with me because most doctors say it helps. (the key phrase was that he had to have s_x with me, not make love to me) Each of experience the good and the bad... hopefully it is the good that we embark on and not the bad. Remember that someone may have it worse than you do. I know I could go on for an eternity about how imperfect my life and pregnancy has been but in the end, I would not change one second for anything in the world. You will be in my thoughts, I hope your little one comes very soon as I am sure she is ready to make your heart smile... Good Luck Ashlie!

How exactly are you going to try to induce labor??? I truely feel that if you are doing natural things like making love, walking, etc....there is nothing wrong with that.....on the other hand if you are poking and proding things up yourself to try and break your water....that may be a little dangerous. anyway, I also wish you the best, and hope your labor will start very soon.

Hi Bethany, Im doing it very natural, just walking mostly. Definitly no poking or proding, I would like to go into labor, but would never do anything to potentionally harm my baby.
