Michelle - September 13

I'm only 36 wks and 3 days...so I haven't tried anything yet but definetly have researched it. I think I'm going to start trying soon because my doctor will give me no info and this baby is getting big. So heres what I found: Nipple stimulation, bumpy roads, s_x, scrubbing floors, walking, raspberry tea, mac cheese & A-1 sauce (sounds icky I know), spicy food, fresh pineapple, swimming, jumping jacks, and riding a bike (I'd suggest it to be a stationary bike as it would prob be alot safer because being so big you don't have great balance)

With my first pregnancy I was 2 weeks over due and my Dr. was ready to induce my labor but I didnt want the Dr. to have to do it b/c I have heard of how much it hurts so I was told that castor oil works and so about 10 pm the night before i was supposed to be induced at the Dr office I took 3 tablespoons of castor oil and went to bed by about 1 am the next morn i was having constant and strong contractions and lost my mucus plug so I headed for labor and delivery and sure enough when they checked my cervix I was in labor I was actually 4 cm so I believe that castor oil can work it did for me anyway but now i am 35 weeks preg and I hope that this pregnancy doesnt run over due like my first but so far my body seems to be doing things sooner than in my first pregnancy and my Dr. says that b/c this is my 2nd pregnancy my body knows what is going on and knows what to do to prepare itself for labor so....wish me luck and I'll do the same:)

so heres the thing. ppl are here to see how to help jump start labour . we dont want to hear your c___p about how nothing work . and ps. castor oil cant be that unsafe if a midwife tells you to try it . also going so for over due is just as risky with the baby going to the bathroom in utero. personally ididnt do castor oil . i was too scared id go into labour and poop on everyone. i used evening primrose oil 1300 mg after 37 weeks . and after 38/39 weeks 2 orally, pop a hole in one and put it in v____a AS LONG AS your waters havent broken .

When going over is risky your doctor will inform you. He will not let you wait it out if you or baby are at risk.

How tired should you be at 39 weeks? I can barely keep my eyes open, is this a bad sign?

 

Tami - October 2

39 weeks and miserable, no sleep constant pain, contractions,but no baby- does s_x only work when there's an orgasm??? also walking supposed to help, but does anyone else feel pain when walking?

i am 38 weeks pregnant i want to have my baby what can i do to make me go into labor i have s_x every night it hasnt worked. somebody

 

Sheri - October 5

s_x works with orgasm or with out cause s____n has prostoglandins which soften your cervix, castor oil works, nipple stimulation works to but these are just things ive hear. i tried castor oil with my first and it worked like a charm. Im 10 days overdue and ive tried it twice once at 37 weeks and once at 40+1 weeks and nuthin so i guess it just depends

I am 39 weeks and 5 days and I am so ready to have this baby. My daughter was born 10 days late, the night before I had her my husband and i had s_x and did the nipple stimulation, which I think worked because until then nothing had happened, well I have tried everything this time, nothing is working. Although I have not tried the castor oil with this one because with the 1st I was on the toilet all night. I have walked, bumpy roads, spicy foods, s_x, and I give up. This boy will come when he is ready and I just hope that it is soon, because I am irritated and moody with no sleep. The doc says if I have not had him in two days we will induce, I am nervous because I heard that is painfull~ How much more painful can it be?????

Does caster oil with orange juice really help induce your labor

I drank Raspberry Leaf Tea throughout my first pregnancy and was 10 days late. I didn't notice anything different. I went on a 4-mile hike in the mountains and swam several laps in my pool and went into labor at 3 a.m. the next morning. Raspberry-leaf tea has nothing to do with going into labor, however, they market the fact that it strengthens the uterus. I am still skeptical...
