Pregnancy Info HOME

I would tell you to use Castrol oil it is unbelievably discusting but if you take it with pepsi or coke and stir it between drinks its not that bad... dont take it if you haven't dropped yet, it probably wont work and will just make you sick and live in the bathroom but if you are diolated a little and some what thinning it should...but it all depends on if the little one is ready if he's not then nothing will work just hang in there 40 weeks isn't that far you can always get induced by your doctor... good luck

I have dropped and dialated to almost 2cm and 50%. I am almost "living" in the bathroom as is right now, but I am so uncomfortable that I might actually try it. I think that he is ready so maybe it will work. If I do end up trying it I will let you know. If anyone else has any other ideas, please pa__s them along.

Hey kris, I hope all goes well for you, and you find something that works.. currently im 39+3 weeks, and i have tried all of that too.. I havent dropped yet (and this is my first). I havent been getting anything painful.. only the trying to sleep at night. If you find something that works for you, can you please pa__s it onto me. I want this baby out, and i really need some help. So if anything works for you. I would be happy to hear. Thanks.. and again good luck :)

Hey, Kris.. You sound just like me!! 3 weeks ago that is... My contractions were coming every 4-15 minutes and lasted for 30 seconds. They wern't all that painful- just enough so I couldn't sleep- for 4 days. I was exausted and would have tried anything. Someone told me about a pregnancy pizza- it had EVERYTHING on it with some spices. Gauranteed to have your baby in 48 hours. Well I walked into the hospital when I couldn't stand it anymore (the next day after pizza)- I needed something to help me sleep. When the nurse checked me- I was 4 cm and they admitted me, gave me an epidural and I had my boy later that night. My contractions never were consistantly 4 mins apart, 1 min long for 1 hour like they say in birthing cla__s. You may want to check around for a preg pizza-- or better yet you may be ready to go and not know! Good luck!

Pizza definatly sounds a whole lot better than caster oil. The contractions have gotten a bit more consistant coming on average every 15 minutes but they haven't gotten any shorter than that. They still are "semi-painful" but are now hurting more between my legs (lots of pressure). I hope that this means I will be going soon!!! I have 10 days till my due date and am so uncomfortable that I just want to get this over with. We will see. I will keep ya updated.

Ok, I went onto on of the other questions about inducing labor and someone suggested a mixture of brown sugar and water (1/2 cup hot water to 4 tbs. brown sugar) and that it could take 48 hours to work. I just tried it, so I will let you know if it worked for me. Let's hope so!!!

Just want to let everyone know that either the brown sugar stuff is working or it is the mexican food I had for dinner, because my contractions have upped to every 10 minutes and they are very very strong and painfull!!! Hopefully they won't stop and keep progressing. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!
