Pregnancy Info HOME

Well, Cece, I'm over 40 weeks, I'm dialated 1cm, but the baby is still floating, my next apt isn't until 10/11. Anyway, it was suggested to me to try nipple stimulation, and it can work, but I believe only based on once again the dreaded words "if your body is ready for labor" You have to do it for a long time, preferably with an electric b___st pump, because you have to simulate a baby sucking for the uterus to contract. I will tell you though I did it last night for 7HOURS and yes, I have contractions that were painful, and somewhat regular, but once I stopped...the contractions stopped. I resumed this morning but my have my womanly house duties to tend to so I had to stop. I will continue to do it throughout the day one nipple at a time and I will let you know if I have progress. Good luck.
