Pregnancy Info HOME

I am 24 weeks along with number four. My first baby I walked lots and he was 8 days late, my second one I took it MUCH easier and eat and slept and laid aroud more instead of walking around and he was a day early. My third I had s_x and a warm shower got it going the day after due date. I also always got my doctor to strip my membranes when things were looking almost ready. That always seemed to help. My best advice is to rest your uterus, but drinking that rasberry tea helps strengthen your uterus. (just the last few weeks) My labors were about 4 hours once they did start! Enjoy the anticipation and prepare yourself, deal with any remaining issues, fears. Sometimes it seemed like I needed to submit my body and just relax and give the baby permission to come when was best for them!

me and a few of my friends have found that crying can bring on labour so now when we are nearly due we all get together and watch a whole heap of sad movies it has so far worked for seven of us and as i`m due next week and cant wait anylonger tonight we try again hopefully we have sucess again.......

have you any tips to induce my labour naturaly?

don,t want to sound crude but s_x worked for me.

i've been trying to find a way to induce labor can't have no s_x because of no husband no boyfriend i tried nipple stimulation nothing i'm due monday it's killling me i can't wait anymore and i'm wondering if baby gets bigger if it's not harder to push the child i'm goingto try castor oil with oj

I've been doing nipple stimulation followed by s_x, and this caused horribly painful, frequent contractions for a few hours at a time. Although I haven't gone into labor yet, it has helped me go from 90% effaced and 1/2 cm to 100% effaced and 1.5 cm in just a couple of days. If you try s_x, make sure that you have an orgasm because it sets off a hormone that is released during labor.

someone help i have been having contrations for the past five days everyhour on te hour but still only one centimetre dialated any suggestions how to get them stronger... babys doing fine and not distressed so doctor wont help but i`m distressed at home with my 4 yr old and 1 1/2 yr old.... help me please

i am 38weeks 4 days and i am so miserable...ive tried castor oil...didnt work...i have no husband cuz he left me when i told him...so s_x i cant do...im not going to b___st feed b/c of personal reasons but was told that nipple stimulation could work...but i dont want to do it myself cuz i will get bored...but what if i went and bought a pump and did that...how long would that take to work?

Tried castor oil and it didnt work. I am 39 weeks pregnant with my 3rd any other suggestions?

Well im 39weeks now and the baby is fully engaged. i had a show 4 days ago (while walking around asda!!!) and still nothing has happened. just a few conractions then they die off. My partners mother told me to try castor oil with orange juice which i literally just tried about ten mins ago. if it works i will let you all know.

Curry will not work unless you get the curry with fenugreek in it. Fenugreek causes uterine contractions. only use it you are 36 wks or more.Good luck

Hi, I am 38 weeks, 100% effaced, softened and thinned, but only 1cm dilated. I have tried everything from walking, spicy foods, nipple stimulation,s_x, bumpy rides, house work, climbing the steps for like 2 hours nothing is working. I am so miserable and have been my whole pregnancy, you see that little" morning/all day sickness" NEVER went away for me. If you have any suggestions please! I will try the castor oil as a last resort, I really don't like the sounds of it.

Hey everyone was wondering if any one has heard of Natal-aide you spray it under the tounge three times aday was wondering if anyone has tried it and if it works as i have it and just started it

hey guys, 39 and a half weeks and still pregnant. I tried the black cohosh root and I went ahead and tried the castor oil as a last resort (like I said). Nothing, not one contraction. My best friend used the black cohosh for two days, she took it with each of her 3 meals and then a fourth pill before she went to bed. She went into labor in 2 days but I 've been taking it for 4 days now and nothing yet. wish me luck.

if you care about the baby, dont take the chance on the oil! Im 39 wks and due next saturday and Im going crazy, ive tried s_x and walking and even have the doctor do the stripping of the membranes and that was this pa__s thurday. nothing is happening and I have been walking around dilated 2cm for about 2 weeks now. my daughter will come when she is ready! luck for me i know i only have 2 weeks left to be pregnant, they will induce me at 41wks. so my count down starts today, either she comes on her own or we go get her in 2 wks. stay strong out there!

I have had my doctor tell me that my placenta is fully matured, he figures that iam any where between 38-40 weeks pregnant and that my baby is abnormally large. this is my second child and the first time working through my pregnancy with a male doctor, an honestly, my experience has been a bit of a nightmare. any suggestions?
