Pregnancy Info HOME

I know rest would never work now, I am pregnant with #3. It's nice to remember back to the days when it was possible. LOL.

I was due last week and still nothing. The baby hasn't even dropped into my pelvis so my doc said he can't do anything for me. I have an ultrasound in a couple days to see whats going on and if I'm going to need a c-section. I know they are safe, but I don't want that. I walk a minimum of a mile a day plus all the stairs I have to climb in my house. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?

alright so im 39 weeks now , tryed everything you could dream off NOTHING!!!!!!! and i cant do it anymore this heat and humidex in winnipeg is horrible im surprised the weather hasnt made me have this baby already!! the spicy food ,bumpy car rides , s_x , walking , cleaning, black cohosh , rasberry leaf tea, spleen 6 , has not worked but my doc says the babys coming any second !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN!?

I am dialated to a 1 and my cervix is on 20% thinned is there a way to make my cervix thin faster?? Or just the regular s_x method?

Well, i just ate pineapple and my mouth is sore!!! i am currently putting a bottle of hot water on my b___bs like that one post said to do. i hope this works!

Ever since I was 38 weeks I have been having on and off labour. I was due 4 days ago. I keep having false labour and I'm dilated to 4 cm. and 50% effaced. This is my 3rd baby my other 2 came early with the help of intervention. My husband is driving me crazy asking me when I'm gonna let the baby out!! Like I wanted to wait this long! Geeze!! Anyway the baby will come when ready my advice is not to think about it as much as you can and keep busy. Make plans to do fun things every day. And take pride in your belly. You don't have very long until the arrival. I know once my other 2 were out I wanted them back in!! I love feeling the baby's movements. Pateince is the hardest thing to have (especailly when it comes to the birth of your baby). But it will help you to be a better parent! Relax and enjoy this time! And remember not every woman gets to expirence the anticipation of having a baby!

Hi, I las wrote on here on 28th june, 5 days before my due date and i am still here!! Getting desparate to start myself i tried the pineapple, ate a whole one onTuesday pm, my waters broke 5.15am yesterday morning, but there is no sign of labour yet, i have since eaten another pineapple and have a sore mouth, but no contractions.....I am on anti biotics to avoid infection and go to the labour ward daily to make sure all is well. I am back there in the morning and then i shall be given the option of waiting another day or being induced with a prostin pessary. Decisions decisions...

I last wrote on here on 28th June when i was 5 days off due date, I am still here. Out of desparation to start myself i ate a whole pineapple on Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday morning at 5.15am my waters broke, but that was it nothing has happened since. I am on daily review at the hospital to make sure all is well and today i have started on a course of anti biotics to avoid any infection. Yesterday i ate another pineapple and all i have is a sore mouth. Back to the labour ward in the morning when i shall have to decide whether to wait another day or be induced there and then, this can go on for up to 96hrs ater the waters going. ah decisions!

dang! thats the last time I try castor oil! It put into 12 hours of false labor and was a complete letdown when the contractions stopped. I was having them 3-5 minutes apart for 12 hours but was sent home from the hospital because I wasnt progressing. how frustrating!

I WAS due July 2nd but when I went to the doctor last friday the baby still hadn't dropped so he sent me for an ultrasound and they change my due date to July 17. I don't see how they can do that. The baby's EFT is 8lbs4oz. I see the doc tomorrow and I'm hoping he'll take pity on me and induce but I guess I just have to wait and see. Walking isn't doing anything but making my feet swell and all the pineapple did was give me heart burn. I'm still too scared to try castor oil. But good luck to all!

been told if you take vergen caster oil it make you go in to labour faster then the other caster oil .reasbury tea makes you also go in to labour haver 2 days,im 37 weeks and had a bad time as i am really big and feed up i had to be set of with my past 2 childeren and i dont wish that on any one but all pregnet wonman are not the same.

I am 39 weeks today. I have been searching on the net for ways to help induce labor from home. I refuse to use the castor oil. I've read way too many negative results about it. I found a website that talks about the pressure points and I am now going to lay down and try that to see how it helps. For the rest of you, here is the site... http://www.nycacupuncture.com/preg.html p.s. The reason I am looking for ways to induce from home is because my Dr. scheduled me to come in Monday (this is Saturday now) for a discussion on him inducing me. I really want to go on my own if at all possible. If anyone else has any ideas about anything besides castor oil or any other herbs, please e-mail me @ forbidden0delights@yahoo.com I am really looking foward to hearing about pressure points, stories about walking, s_x, jogging/running, etc. etc. Hope that link helps!!!

castor oil with oj my sister tried it

I last wrote July 13. I went into labour 3 hours after great s_x. If your cervix is favorable your chances are higher to get labour started. It helps too that you are on bottom with your legs wrapped around your husband when he hits climax. Hope this helps. I believe it did for me.

I'm 38 weeks, and I drank 2 oz of castor oil mixed with fizzy drink followed by some fresh pineapple. I did that at 4.20pm, almost 6 hours ago, and still nothing - haven't even needed the toilet!!! Been having contractions, but been having them for weeks - so not sure if they're braxton hicks or anything to do with castor oil... Just want the baby out now - hot, tired and uncomfortable!!!

im back and still doing everything and still nothing i am 40 weeks and 1 day now ...... cohosh , s_x , my doc stretched and sc___ped , rasberry tea , walking so i am beginging to think it will come when it comes
