This will be a longer post because I tried everything possible to attempt inducing labour naturally aside from purposefully making myself sick (please don't do this). This was my first baby and statistically, that means the baby will likely be overdue. I didn't mind going slightly overdue, but I wanted to avoid being forced into an induction as in Canada (at least Ontario) they will not allow you to reach 42 weeks. I had my induction scheduled for 41 weeks and 3 days as that was the latest possible where my primary midwife would be available. Because of this, I want to share everything I tried to induce labour and to make labour easier, and what I believe actually ended up putting me into labour!

I see these must-haves list everywhere and to be honest, a lot of them are very repetitive and it's for a good reason. You've probably seen several of the products I'll be mentioning all over Instagram and Facebook Reels already, but I wanted to make sure to include my own experiences with these products and I'll rank them in order of what I loved and used most to products I still highly recommend, but might not love as much.

Welcome back! Today's post will be going over my experience with the third trimester of pregnancy, including all of my symptoms (and how I managed them) as well as the different appointments and testing that occurred concerning my pregnancy.
