No, full term is not until 37 weeks. after that, taking long walks, helps the baby move down, or having sex, always take water w/you if you are out walking. Ask your Dr about getting induced.
They say having sex helps , a lot of walking helps. you can talk to your Dr. he/she can set up a date to induce.
Don't try to induce before your due date. Your baby's ability to breathe may not be fully developed, and you may risk harming your baby. Wait it out a couple more weeks.
There's really no way to tell. You can be slightly dilated for weeks before going into true labor. On the other hand, you might not be dilated at all and then go into labor closer to your due date. It's oddly not a very reliable way of telling when you'll deliver, until you are in active labor.
sex and walking is good try squats and stairs but i would wait till you are at least 38 weeks, just so make sure your babys lungs are fully developed p.s. i have herd male sperm helps soften the cervics
It means you will probably go into labor soon. I've heard of women being dilated 3cm and not going into labor for weeks. As a reference, you must be dilated to 10cm before the doctors or midwifes will allow you to push.
Normally they would only induce labour if they have suspected a problem with you or the baby these can be a range of problems. Or they would induce labour if you have had previous babies which have been too big to deliver and caused tearing. Therefore they may induce you early so you have a normal sized baby.
you should definitely go to the hospital! if anything, they should induce you for being overdue...good luck!
Well, the most natural thing I know to help induce labor is walking, and orgasms or intercourse. Here is a link that will give you a whole list of things that can help to naturally induce labor: * http://pregnancychildbirth.suite101.com/article.cfm/tired_of_being_pregnant
if the baby is slow to develop or is still in the womb after 42 weeks
== == Theoretically, as long as you are past the point where the fetus is viable, active labor can begin any time in any pregnancy, no matter how much you are dilated or effaced. This means you could go into active labor in four minutes, four days, four weeks, etc. There's really no way to tell.
It all depends on when the baby is ready. You can be thinned out and dilated for some time before labor truly begins.
Yes, nipple stimulation can induce labor if you stimulate each nipple for 20mins each and then wait an hour. You should do this for 3 hours out the day.make sure you rest for an hour or more in between
