When you’re pushing the 40-week mark in pregnancy with no signs of labor, it’s easy to feel a sense of urgency. For some parents, that means trying everything from spicy foods to acupressure techniques. However, one adventurous mom took a more unconventional route.
Meet Sarah Johnson
Meet Sarah Johnson from Minneapolis. At 40 weeks pregnant, she decided to throw on her swimsuit and hit the wakesurfing waves, hoping it might help bring on labor. While the effort didn’t exactly speed things up—after all, babies have their own schedules—Sarah’s attempt resulted in some fantastic video moments. “I thought, why not? Maybe wakesurfing will do the trick,” she said. “Come on, little one, we’ve had our fun, but we’re ready to meet you.”
The Wakesurfing Experience
At nearly 41 weeks, Sarah felt like it was time to serve an eviction notice to her little one. She explained to a news outlet, “Wakesurfing is different from wakeboarding or water-skiing. It’s much slower, around 9 or 10 miles per hour, and designed for safety. If I were to fall, it’d be like jumping into a pool.”
Of course, the internet had its share of critics, with some commenters questioning her parenting choices. But five days later, her son, Baby Carter, was born, and although wakesurfing wasn’t the reason for his arrival, he now has an epic story about his cool mom. “He’s truly incredible. I was told I might never conceive, so this is surreal,” Sarah shared. “He’s got long hair, so you could say he’s my little surfer baby.”
