@Kristenmarie lol but I want her to come for Easter. I pray she doesn't come April 7 cause that is my dads anniversary of his death and also its the day he met my mom
I self induced at 42 weeks went on a ling trip 609 miles and took cohosh when I got home. I was in labor less than 6 hrs later. Sometimes it is ok to self induce! :-)
It makes your contractions harder. U can use blue n black cohosh. But I had a midwife help me its a liquid that you use a dropper. Only a few drops it very potent!
I think my daughter (9 yrs now) was waiting for my bday but I wasn't having it we induced 9 days late if it was my bday she would have been 13 days late
I was convinved at 37 weeks i would self induce, but than i got nervous that maybe she wasnt ready to come out and then i would feel horrible, im now 39 due thursday and have tried everything with no luck. My birthday is thursday so i want her to come then
@proudmomma102011 I am still 11 lbs lighter then when I got pregnant. I only gained 4 lbs with my first and she was 8 days early. Lol I wouldn't want to go 40+ wks
@tiff87124 I'm sorry about your experience. I know the dangers lol this isn't my first child. I was just curious to see how many people are going to do it. Besides the baby wont come till ready.
@ashleyfew lol my friend did castor oil it was nasty. I honestly don't think anything works. Its a fun tradition to try though. As long as its being safe and not stupid I'm just going to do lots of walking since I couldn't do much till now and I'm doing primrose oil. Other than that I'm good lol.
I used the evening primrose oil capsules (internally) and they did nothing but out of desperation at 41 1/2 weeks I tried castor oil. TMI- I woke up with horrible gas and bowel issues (way worse than the contractions) and it kickstarted my labor. The castor oil was better than pitocin which is why I tried it. If I go to long again this time I would try it again but I hope I don't have to. :-)
I am...just because I personally know 2 people who lost their babies from the cord being wrapped,one went to her check up 3 days before she went to be induced and heard babys heartbeat my son was born at 37 because I was really sick and my doctor felt bad,his cord was wrapped 3 times around his neck and he was blue! I just always was scared after that,what might have happened in 3 weeks!?! My anxiety is too bad lol.
Heads up to anyone* who does castor oil or is considering it, it has a laxitive effect which can cause the baby to have a bowel movement in the uterus which can cause SERIOUS problems.
I never said to use castor oil I was just saying theirs no documentation stating it will make the baby have a bowel movement. N I don't recommend anything with out talking to doc or midwife first. None of us are qualified to recommend anything.
Proudmamma, sadly she didnt want him, then they gave her the baby to leave the hospital with n she ended up back in hospital bcause she didnt feed him, sick woman, thankfully he grew up alright
My Mum must of done this, I pooed as I was coming outta her, came out covered in poo (ano gross) she was in hospital with an infection for a week after it! Im 38 weeks on Sat, just gonna take each day as it comes now, when it happens it happens x

It is not a myth... I tried it and it happened to me. Plenty of medical web sites also state it.
Waiting until your baby is ready is your best bet.
