I am due today and also was wondering about the whole hot s_x, hot curry thing. I really don't think anything works - we should really just relax and let it happen when it happens! (But it is soooo hard to keep waiting!!) :-)

I was due on 10 feb 05(my dates) and 19th feb 05(scan dates). So far nothing yet has happened. I have tried the castor oil twice, walking for 2 hours, raspberry leaf tea(been drinking for 3 weeks now) and i also mowed our rather large lawn. Having s_x every 2nd night is not working either. No chance of induction until the 5th march.

My midwife has told me the best way is to eat fresh pineapple, not the tinned stuff or juice. It has a chemical in it which is similar to prostaglandin and softens the cervix, encouraging contractions to start.

How far along do you have to be to be induced by your doctor. I am going to be 36 weeks April 10th and I was hoping I could do it then because It has become very painful. this is my fourth child and it never burt so bad

There are so many different things out there, I know women who have taken Goldenseal and walk allot, as well as s_x, and the primrose oil will thin your cervix. You can look online- there are a bunch of things. I also heard of eating a box of macaroni and cheese mixed with A1 sauce... who knows if any of these things REALLY work or if it just a coincidence. Good Luck!

Orgasms. Oxytocin is the natural version of synthetic, Pitocin, used in hospitals. Oxytocin is released during orgasm, nipple stimulation (and is also responsible for the let-down reflex during b___stfeeding). Marathon orgasms is exactly what you want before labor; just think how long it will be until you'll have multiple orgasms again after birthing....

I am 7 months pregnant and my friend told me that when your contractions starts to make it faster and quicker have black coffee with honey. Good Luck!
