I still vote for going to the most inconvenient place possible, like the mall, lol!! Bound to start when ur somewhere where it would kinda suck for ur water to break. The 1 of 3 that I wasn't induced, I was at Walmart. I remember thinking "well crap, I peed... wait, I don't remember sneezing" :-)
Casteroil , all it does is irritate your bowel and give you the runs wich stimulates the muscles. most of the time it doesnt work and when it does you have the squirts while giving birth... ik lol. Sex and clitoral and nipple stimuli.. yes you are huge and feel odd having sex, so use toys and make sure you get off lol. Be careful with cohosh because it can lower the blood pressure and make delivery dangerous I did alot of reserch on these things Birthing/eccersize balls are good, a good bounce to get the weigh bearing down. Walking is great! Warm baths with a light salt in it helps (no fregrances!!) kegal eccersizes. clench the butt let it go (mail box open mail box closed lol) do kegals for 3 min rest for 15 do it again, brings on labor quick Just be caustious in all things you do and happy popping %%-
Thank u ladies....some of the thing y'all said had me cracking up....definitely don't want the squirts during labor LOL n yes walking the mall is probably what I will do also n I hope I leave wit wet pants....
LOL @ Charley ikr that's sounds good right about now LOL and@ kalasthename I've read that too....yea I'm kinda scared of the oil too but I think imma eat pineapples while walking threw the mall then go do some squats then have sex then do some kegals LOL hopefully sumthin works
me and my friend drank lot's of raspberry tea...she went into labor the next day but I went into labor the next week...not sure if it was the tea or just great luck!
@luvnmyboys you can insert evening primrose oil capsules near your cervix to get it soft and ready go have a baby. It wont make you go into labor but it does make it easier for labor to start. I had to use castor oil last time because I didn't want the doc to use pitocin. This is gross but it gave me horrible gas and diarrhea once but it started labor. No one said anything to me about having squirts while I was delivering but the gas pain I had made labor feel like a piece of cake like I said gross but I would do it again over getting pitocin any day
My Dr wont even give me pitocin she said I have to go into labor on my own because of my previous csection she said pitocins not safe for a vback it could cause rupturing of the uterus
Depending on how far you are you can ask your doctor to strip your membrains during your regular visit. This is when he puts his fingers waaay up you and puts a lot of pressure in a circle along were the vagina and cervix meet. This can jump start labor. If your hubby is packing, deep sex will work the same... you just might not desire it tho. Lol
Some people swear by eggplant parmasanga (sp) .. nipple stimulation too but I heard it would take a looooooot of stimulating.. since bf causes contractions and helps after baby to shrink ute..
Wit my daughter my water broke early and all I did was go pee :"> (the dr actually said she probably rubbed the wrong way and did it herself) but still.. my husband was trying to make me walk for miles.. we went down every aisle in every store for no reason with no success..
Sex!!! I was 4 cm dilated at 37 weeks 1 day and didn't know until my water broke and i was at the hospital! 3-15-11 I gave birth to my first child a boy :-) 4.5 hour labor with no epidural or pitocin! >-)
Sex is a good one to try because semen softens the cervix AND the female orgasm produces oxytocin which can induce contractions. And I've heard the exercise ball really helps
Raspberry leaf tea ONLY from 36/37 weeks as it makes your uterus contract but when you go into labour it will make your contractions work better! Fresh pineapple, hot curry, sex, walks and nipple stimulation were all suggested to me!
