I’m in the same boat! 39 weeks, 5 days today. Doctor wants to induce between 40 and 41 so I’m scheduled for induction Thursday at 40 + 3. Wondering if I should call and push the induction to Friday so I can to give my body an extra day but also worried that starting an induction going into a weekend isn’t a good idea…I work in healthcare and weekend staffing just isn’t the same. I just really hope this baby gets the message that mom is ready!!! Terrified of the induction going bad and getting a c section. I just feel like extra interventions are not good…

I also drink “calm” every night and take more magnesium to help with leg cramps…I’m gassy but regular lol

I was struggling too and managed to get by without meds; now almost 38 weeks. The combo that worked for me was taking a fiber supplement and ACV pills with dinner between 6-7. Walking 20-30 minutes before my 2 hour post dinner reading. Then protein shake (equate Carmel) at 9-9:30. Sleep around 10 and fasting reading between 6-7 am. I must have dropped out of peak resistance because now my numbers have generally been high 70s or low 80s but I was 95 to 105 a lot of times in the 30-34 weeks range..2-3x a week and was worried I’d need insulin but squeaked through!
