how early is to early to try and bring on labour?

[claire87]

i was looking a bit of advise on how early is to early to try and make my baby come, this pregnancy has been awful so so so sore and i just cant wait till its over but i would like to know how early is to early lol thanks xxx

you could gently encourage things from about 38/39 weeks, but you cannot make yourslef go into labour as has been said.

you might know lots of people who've had prem babies who've been ok, but as psoters on here have said ,it often isnt ok

and you are very defensive bearing in mind a poster has just shared that she lost a baby as it was born too early

concentrate on how to make yourself comfy and feel better rather than wishing for a prem baby

I understand how you must feel, I was totally fed up by week 32, I'm now 39+2 and glad that he's still in there cause I've read/heard some sad stories and tbh I'd much prefer to have an overdue baby that's healthy than put my son at risk having him early.

But like I said, I do understand as the pain can be unbearable and that can make pregnancy a sucky experience

didnt read is right and i am truely sorry for your loss shamechanger but also understand she is making it sound like i am gonna try and have my baby now when i am actually not, in fact my waters started to leak last night and i am now freaking out that sonething is going to go wrong i was asking for advise about how to make is easier to cope with this being so sore and people started making it sound like i wanted to go into labour now but i dont! so shamechanger i am sorry x

if your waters are leaking you must get in touch with midwife ASAP as risk of infection.
Hope its just a false alarm

I second that. You must let your midwife know about your waters today.

did you speak to the MW?

a leak of waters can be from higher up behind hte baby's head and is not the same as the waters actally breaking, but if it was definitely waters and not wee/discharge, you need to see someone today

hmmmm
