jumping..

[DoubleK]

a few people have told me to try jumping up and down to bring on labour.... just cant bring myelf to start bouncing on the bed! lol

has anyone gone into labour from jumping?

[Lulu]

Nooooooo

Jumping at 40 weeks? I had enough trouble prising my butt off the couch....

[DoubleK]

lol it does souns a little odd... but hey, ill try anything if it works!

im thinking more a soft bounce on DD's mattress (she has a mattress on the floor atm) rather than skipping-rope-type jumping... hehe

I keep getting told to squat on the floor alot while i'm at home when i wanted to bring him on (pointless now cause i'm an having a c-sec) But apparently squatting and making like your gonna fart (lol tmi) pushes the head down onto your cervix and will jump start labor.

DF keeps suggesting I jump up and down...lol. Honestly I don't think that anything that is suggested (eating spicy food, DTD, long walk etc) will bring on labour unless it was ready to happen anyway iykwim. Just a matter of waiting out...obviously easier for me than DF as he is becoming very impatient!!

[DoubleK]

i think the same.. is anything i do going to make a difference if she just isnt ready to budge yet?

i guess it helps pass the time away!

Lol DH & I were in the kitchen last week discussing how much longer it would be...he said 'you need to start jumping up & down'...

so I did a few jumps there in the kitchen

The look on his face... priceless

and then he very quickly told me to stop

(and no, it didn't bring it on!)

SophieRose- lol I tried your squatting thing just for fun and all I did WAS fart!! lol
