My last ditched efforts to jump start labor... *Update*

Two days ago was pineapple, mangoes, cumin tea and sex. Yesterday I walked two miles and had sex. I had contractions for an hour and a half about 8 mins apart but they fizzled out. Now this morning I am going to go take the dreaded castor oil and go for a walk then hopefully sex. I have been having some strong braxton hicks but nothing patterned...well here it goes :)

    @sissylala sorry it made me really sick to my stomach so I laid down and just woke up from an hour n half nap and been to the bathroom twice since I've been up. I have had what feels like one constant contraction for almost ten minutes now. I am going to start some cleaning and see what happens.

    Im just seeing if I can get him to flip! Hes breech. Nothing else has worked so why not. My doc said it wouldnt hurt to try. Believe me if he was head down, I would let it just happen!
  • Mindy061606Mindy061606
    I went on a mean power walk and contractions were less than two minutes apart and I was having to bend over bc of the pain. I went home and continued to clean. The contractions have slowed down to 8-10 mins apart the past hour. Im not convinced yet so I am just going to see how it goes. I am less than 10 mins from the hospital so i'm not worried at this point :)

    Im not sure if its yoga but I have been doing different positions for a while now. On my hands and knees and arching my back and swaying back and forth. I also tried the chiropractor, using cold and heat, music, hand stands in the pool lol. Hes stubborn and comfy!

    Im 39 and 1. Maybe time, but I have had this before at work and nothing happened. But I did just loose part of my mucous plug for the first time so my body is doing some work at least!
  • Mindy061606Mindy061606
    Lol. So I told my husband it might be time and we should do it one last time bc it may be a while. Well we did and now my contractions stopped......wth. Oh well, I tried today :(

    Oh wow. Your water could break at anytime though so thats good news :) The castor oil didnt put me in labor but I would definitely say it moved things farther along for me lol. Still have a breech baby tho. @ashleyfew maybe your baby will come tuesday and our babies can share a bday :)

    I've heard pumping for 15-20 could induce labor. Has anyone tried/ succeeded from doing that??

    @crisco07 I didnt try with my pump but I have heard it can work bc of the release of oxytocin which causes you to contract :)
  • metalmommymetalmommy
    There is a pressure point in your foot that is suppose to help flip breached babies. I tried accupressure with no luck to induce labor, among many other things but maybe that could be what you need for the flippadee. Goodluck!! %%-
