    Castrol Oil! Worked with both my kids and my sister did it two weeks ago! I woke up that morning saying forget it this lil girl is coming, made my mom go get me castrol oil around 3 in the afternoon and I drunk the whole bottle...I was on the toilet all day but around 1am I started having bad back pains! I went in to labor and delivery around 6am and I was dilated to 4! I had my baby at 7:27pm on her due date! Same thing with my sister!

    I have a friend who just had a baby 2 weeks ago she said shem drank a small shot off castor oil and it put her in labor 2hours later . She said its harmless bcuz thats her 4th child and she didnt the castor oil with each one off them. The only thing is that she said it makes u dilate quickly so uon might not have a chance to get an epidural if any of uon had planed on getn one ..

    While castor may work for some women, it's not a guarantee. You also run the risk of severely dehydrating yourself which will not do you or baby any good while you're in labor. Even though they give you iv fluids, would you really want to start labor and be sick from dehydration at the same time?

    There are pressure points that can cause contractions. One of them is about 4 finger widths from the bone on the inside of the ankle. I'm sure you could google some others. Good luck. :)

    I walked up 7 flights of stairs non stop and then back down again.. I went from 2cm to 6cm and had her that night.. I also went swimming using the frog type swim rights side up or doggy paddle and my water broke the next night was in l&d within 24 hrs and had my baby the next day... also vaccuuming can help or sex.... goodluck to all the soon to be mommies...

    I wouldn't rush things, 37 wks is not even close to over due. Docs and ultrasounds r not precise methods of estimated due dates. In fact less than 5% of babies r born on their dates. I hope u can tolerate being pregnant for a couple more wks so as to not risk ur baby being born early with respiratory problems. And ask ur doc before going ahead with anything.
    That said, I'll tell u the safe methods I have read about there r lots of them! Castor oil is severely dehydrating. Sex with orgasm, lots of walking, hot baths, red raspberry leaf tea, accupunture & accupressure (by a professional), hydrating fluids, Squats, nipple stimulation by hand or with a breast pump, spicy food and lots of rest. Hang in there, its worth the wait.

    @babyrosalee I went to the docs yesterday & my doc said it was ok to start inducing labor the baby is healthy & fine ! Trust me I woudn't try any home remedies if my baby was n't fully full term... Bt she told me about massaging the back of my ankle its a pressure point for contractions & to use primrose to soften my cervix
  • BabyRosaleeBabyRosalee
    That's good u n doc r on top of things. Hope u have an awesome labor and delivery experience. I did with my first!
