EARLY LABOUR ADVICE TO KEEP THINGS GOING PLS

[missyhols]

Pg with my 2nd and I've had a 2nd sweep and i'm 2 to 3 cm dialated, as soon as had second sweep i had contractions every 5 mins got really painful especially down below where i had the familiar pulling and stretching feeling. They died down a bit but still had tightenings. Now they've picked up again but not getting the pulling feeling. Just back and cramp and bloody tight.

Can someone give me tips to keep things going? I was walking around garden which brought back pains and now on birthing ball.

Exactly. I'll give it a go

paracetemol

takes away some pain, thats what i took, one and then gas and air

well, it numbs you a bit, not having had anything like that for 9 mths - crazy spend 9 mths avoiding it, ring the hospital when you think its starting and they tell you to take what you havent been having for ages!!! - Did sort of send me off and then dulled things until i got to hospital - make sure he doesnt wear squeaky shoes - nitemare!!!

oh, I had a bath with an aromatherapy concoction...but can't blinking think right now what it was that was in it....sigh...clary sage, that is for sure, and maybe ylanylang and lavender....hm....
it certainly kept my contractions going, that is for sure....and made them stronger, too...

actually ingesting progesterone, basically blow job plus swallow to be blunt....is meant to get things going....

Watling, no it's not....honest to god it is not...now, I am not saying it would have appealed to me to do that, never got to that desperate point, but honest it's true...I mean, why you think they actually use oral progesterone tablets now, if it would only work if it hits the cervix...afterall, progesterone is a very powerful hormone that ingested, I would think, goes into the bloodstream, etc...

I'm back! we'll see what happens with the icky stuff!

lol watling, must admit, when I heard about this first I was a bit taken aback and thought that it must be a myth invented by man/men....was ratehr surprised that indeed there was truth in it!
Saying that...nothing will ever work, I suppose unless the Baby is at least kinda ready anyway!

lolololol missy...hm....I know what you just did....;)

Yep! Tbh can't believe i just announced that! Lol. Don't have any g and t to try, so what needs must.

nipple stimulation is meant to be very good...incase it has not been mentioned yet

Well pains picked up a bit. So hopefully won't have to resort to the oral method.

lol...you know your post sort of was a huge cry of "RELIEF" not that I blame you, you know...
