Ways to induce labour!!!! help! maybe a bit **tmi**

edited June 2011 in Third Trimester
ok so iv tried everything, walking, bouncing on my ball, pineapple, evening primrose oil up my vajayjay, sex, jumping, lavender oil in the bath......and still, nothing! the only thing id say im not willing to try would probs be the caster oil minly cos it sound icky. iv heard having jasmine oil in the bath might help but im not too sure, and also that sweeping your own cervix might help but i dont know how to do that. so i was wondering can anyone tell me how to do that or maybe give me other ideas on how to move things on a little??? x

  • I'm 39w today, finally feeling a little back ache and tightening going on..i pray it's my weekend!
  • @Mommy2IsaiahNGiselle no i havent tried that yet ill have to get some next time i get paid, do you know of any other tea's that induce labour or is it just the red raspberry tea that does it? lol and like i said my body is ready, im ready....but Aidens just being naughty and stubborn lol.
  • @Jaime77 ***LABOUR DUST*** I hope its your weekend too fingers crossed. x
  • Try nipple stimulation.
  • @camommy i tried that for a little while but it just made my nipples sore :-(
  • have you tried doing a brisk walk and walking up some stairs to help kick it into gear?
  • @survivormommie3 i think ill try going for another walk in a bit, but i have no stairs cos im in a ground floor flat, if i had stairs trust me im pretty sure id be up and down them like a yoyo.
  • maybe go to the hospital and just walk up the stairs. i know it sounds strange, but any place that has more than one flight of stairs can help
  • @survivormommie3 i would except the hospital is miles and miles away lol
  • Right that does it!! im going on the MOTHER of all walks lol!!!!
  • When I was pregnant the first two times, I drank the whole box of red raspberry leaf tea amd within a day I was in full labor. Plus I also walked 3 miles, and evening primrose oil. Also def try nipple stimulation to produce natural petocin
  • Dance dance dance. There are some great vids on youtube for labor induction the dancing looks like the best time. I think I'm going to try the belly dancing ones when its time not only does it help get things going but loosens your hips and pelvis for delivery. There is also preassure points you can use
  • I'm right there with ya. Hopefully we both go this weekend. ★labor dust★
  • @3rdtimemomma yh i got to get myself some of that tea iv never tried it before.
    @camommy iv been looking at those youtube vids n i might have to try that dancing thing it looks like fun!
    @casnleslie thank you for the dust (*)

    im starting to get really bad ache-ing type pains in my tummy and it keeps going hard and being quite painful round the top part of my belly, and iv been having lower back pain really bad all day, hopefully labour might start properly soon, this is my first baby so im not really sure wht im supposed to be feeling in early labour. lol
  • @tiff87124 my doc said my body is ready n baby is at good weight also i had steroid injections for his lung a week ago n m already 1cm dialated and have been for a week now, might be more then that now but i wont find out till the 22nd cos i got midwife appointment then so hopefully if he comes out now he will be ok.
  • How far along r u ?

  • @babyluv_3 im 36.2weeks but i was in hospital last week because im in labour n had steoid injections doc sed everything is great with baby n wen i was 35weeks baby was 5lbs 7oz so hes a good weight. they sed i just got to wait for contractions to get closer and stronger...but its been a week now hence the trying to move it along cos im getting really annoyed with having random painful contrations. lol
  • I really hope he's born today i think that would be a nice fathers day prezzie for his daddy :)
  • Yea my 1st pregnancy wwas just like urs all the way to the t .....but my lil briana was a stubborn baby n didn't come tel I was almost 38 wks I had pains n contractions bad ...but lol she is now 7 n still stubborn ass hell....baby come when there good n ready. Too...my 2nd almost had to serve her a evection notice lol but she heard that n came that nite n II was at a 2 thhat mid day but I drunk castor oil n it Worked for us
  • I was 1cm from 35 weeks up to 39 weeks so just cus your dilated doesn't mean baby is ready yet 5 pounds 7 oz is not the best weight that's what my son was born at and he had low sugar for days I would be careful if I were you your not full term yet a lot of first time moms don't deliver early give that baby some more time to cook, good luck!
  • I have heard spicy food gets baby going.
