Raspberry Tea and Primrose Oil??

So I have been drinking raspberry leaf tea and using primrose oil for days. I haven't even had the first real contraction. Am I not doing something right? Everyone else talks about how quickly it worked for them and I'm not having any luck at all! :-( I drink the tea about 5 times a day and do the primrose oil vaginally 3 times (this is according to what the girl at the herb store told me to do, but I looked it up online and read the same directions there). :-(( Any other suggestions from you ladies that have tried this? I am desperate at this point!!!

    It didn't work for me but did make labor faster and easier when it came. How far along r u?

    I'm 40 weeks, due tomorrow, but my baby is measuring really big so I want it to come ASAP!!

    You could have sex let him finish and then make sure you finish multiple times. The sperm triggers a hormone that can help start labor and everytime you finish it will make ur uterus contract. Or if you have a breast pump you can try pumping milk to induce labor.

    Honestly nothing will work unless the baby is ready :( I have tried also. Lol mine says no she wont come out and went breech but hopefully she turns tomorrow cause I don't feel like a csection. Are u dilated

    @proudmomma I have been 1cm and 100% effaced with baby head down for weeks. Baby is ready but my cervix just isn't cooperating. Good luck to you!

    that concoction only prepares your cervix for labour won't actually induce n its said if its not ur first theres no need, all the best thou6h

    Have they not offered you a membrane sweep? It worked for me, was 6 days overdue and went into labour same day it was done which was about three weeks ago now. Sometimes just need a bit of a poke to get it going lol

    This is my first and the doc did a membrane sweep on Monday. Going back today for a stress test and they will check my progress. The doc doesn't want to do too much unless my cervix shows signs of being ready. @sheridanlm1991 Congrats on your new little one!
