So, my high risk doctor talked to me today about an option that might keep me from having to have a c-section, but he will only consider it if my cervix is already softening. The reasoning is that a long induction process would be too risky for the boys, so he would only proceed if my body is already showing signs of getting ready to go into labor. He will check me at my next appt in a week and a half and that will determine whether I have this option or not. I haven't had any cervical checks, so I have no idea whether my body is doing anything or not.

So . . . What can I do to help encourage my body to start "preparing?" I know nothing is guaranteed to work, and I'm not looking for anything to have an immediate effect. I just really want to have a choice of options if possible, so I'd like to start nudging my body that way. Either way, I only have a week and a half to two and half weeks before they will be born!!

What have you heard helps? What worked for you?
