What do you think

Do you think your body can forget how to go into labor?

Here is way I ask.

5 years ago I had a baby born at 23 weeks he pasted away within 5 min of birth. I have gave birth 3 times after him but ALL after him have been induced at 38-39weeks.

I am now 41 weeks and I have PSD so I am in a great deal of pain almost all the time. I have contractions but they don’t last, I am 3cm and baby is measure 10+lbs. This is my 8th baby.

I was told by someone that it has happen that your body could get use to being helped out to have a baby and your body could wait for it and not labor on its own what you think?

Well, I've never heard of your body not birthing a child because you've been induced with previous births but I never say never unless I'm 100% sure. Maybe other posters will have better information. Could it be an emotional block? Have you worked through all of your fear about this birth and let it go? It's okay, mama. I'm sending you positive birthing vibes and lots of love!

NO, your body does not 'forget' how to go into labor. In your case, mama, you just don't know 'how long you normally carry'! You've never carried a baby until it's own chosen due date (except for your sad loss...but that one is different, I'd say, other problems involved for that sweet angel). Perhaps you are just someone who 'carries long'... Try to relax and have faith, your body and baby do know what to do, and will do it in perfect time

By the way, are you seeing a chiropractor--one that is trained in Webster Technique and is experienced in helping moms with the kind of pelvic issues you have? If not, do look into it--the right chiropractor can make a world of difference!

23 weeks

The Induced ones at

My chiropractor says my body has just released way to much relaxin and the fact I have been pg for the past 6 year has just really did a number on my body.
