  • Its NASTY! Its supposed to help bring on contractions
  • Its supposed to help soften the cervix and bring on contractions.its n not thst bad when u put a stick of cinammon in it.it doesnt give u the runs.its jusy a spice, reminds me of taco seasoning.i tried it this past monday & it worked for me,im 1cm & soft.i havent had anymore but I'm going to do it again.next week.how far along are you?
  • Lmao I read that wrong and was very very confused for a second.
  • 37+ thought about trying it. Already bought the stuff
  • Where can you get it at? Grocery store/wal-mart? We don't really have much else around here :(
  • I've tried it about 4 times and it never did anything for me :( I hope it works for you! :D
  • @jessica_clayton yepp! It's on the spice isle. Just make sure you get the seeds and not ground cumin.
  • @bentleysmommy: i know I sound like a retard but how do you make it? After I buy the cumin seeds how do I make the tea? And is it horrible tasting? Sorry but this is my last resort I've tried EVERYTHING else lol
  • @jessica_clayton you boil 1 cup of water. After it comes to a boil, pour the water into a cup then add 1teaspoon of cumin seeds. Let the seeds sit in the hot water for 5 to 10 minutes then drain the water (tea) from the seeds and drink the water. Honestly, it didn't taste that bad to me but I let mine cool so I could just gulp it down then chased it with a few sips of coke. The smell was the bad part. It's really strong.
  • @bentleysmommy: well I guess I will be trying this tonight, along with nipple stimulation seeing as those are the only two things I haven't tried lol. Any advice on how to perform the nipple stimulation? I don't have a breast pump so it will have to be done manually. I've tried castor oil, rough sex, walking, evening primrose oil, and squats. Any other tips/tricks you can think of? I really don't wanna end up being induced! :(
  • Squats wish i could do those i doubt i could ever stand back up: )
  • How much castor oil did you take? Was it real bad?
  • @jessica_clayton it says if you do nipple stimulation manually, you just make a circular motion with your nipple or have your bd suck them (tmi) lol :">
  • @ape7998: 4 oz and I gagged but chase it with oj and its all gravy :) it made me poop a ton with some contractions but didn't throw me into labor.
