im 37 weeks & im 2cm dilated & people tell me to walk & then the baby will come but when i start to walk i get really bad pains in my stomach & then i usually stop do u think if i keep goin on w/ the pain that the baby will come ! ↑
I'm 38 weeks and have been in the hospital twice with premature labor, now I'm ready for labor and it won't come! I just tried the brown sugar drink because i've been 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced for 2 weeks and today, i've had very heavy, thick discharge with very loose bowels. Any other suggestions? ↑
i think readin all this is hilarious. all of our hormones are going crazy and people bein petty and mean. its crackin me up. =) isnt pregnancy glamorous ↑
im 40 weeks and 6 days ive had a curry,ran up and down stairs,had sex, walked loads had a boiling bath, and the menbraine sweep noithing is working im going to try the brown suger and the raspberry tea if it doesnt work im try the castor oil so ill let you know ive been told to drink a bottle of cod liver oil i dont know if that is the same thing has anyone got any more ↑
I just started drinking the raspberry leaf tea today, it is very good. I'm also eating fresh pineapple and i've tried Labor Balm (which I think is a scam)! I even tried jumping on my little boy's trampoline for a few minutes each day- I believe that God will begin labor when he wants to (even though it is still fun to try to help get it going- what else do we have to think about right now)? Is anyone else 38 weeks right now- it might be fun to see who delivers first! ↑
Oh, I'm kind of a hypocrite cause even though I think that God starts labor when it is the right time, i'm seriously considering taking castor oil this weekend. Any other stories about castor oil? Any other ideas for natural labor induction? ↑
ive tried absolutly everything, the walking, sex, curry, rasberry, tea and the castor oil and nothing. im 2 days over and really fed up. my husband to be is in the army and if i havent had it by friday hes got to go back so if any1 got any ideas apart from what ive tried then please help me! x ↑
If you're two days over, I would seriously explain the situation about your husband with your dr. and ask if he could induce - any time over your delivery date, inducing shouldn't be a problem. ↑
I've done all the things people say to get things going, even having the mambranes stripped...been contracting for a week..nothing..they come when they come! I believe that now even though I want it out. ↑
I am 37-38 weeks, 3 cm and 50% effaced. Am feeling the head in my crotch and some cramping (but had an internal exam today)....i would realy not mind going in a little early. Will look for the rasberry tea. ↑
terryn, i went to the hospital today and asked for an induction and they just said point blank no, i was in tears because i know hes goin to miss it and its depressing me. i will phone my dr tomorrow and see what he says. thanx for the advice.x ↑
I am 37 weeks, the baby is measureing 2 wks ahead of schedule and i am so sick of being pg that i would do anything (safe) to get him out!!!!i have tried the enema, castor oil, sex, walking. I am about to do the sugar thing, and drink a glass of wine in a hot bath while having sex!!! Then i might have some icecream. any sugg.? ↑
Relax, and try not to et it consume you. Go in the ospita and te hem ou are going ostal. Tell them to put you n sleep therapy, and to induce youin the morning. you are 40 weeks, so you can do that. My 1st. was 3 weeks late, and thats what I did. They gave me stuff to relax me, and through the night I went into labor by myself. I just needed validation, and rest. ↑
castor oil. didn't work for me but worth a try. read some stories on birthstories.com. the women tell how they brought it about in some of them. best wishes. ↑
i know it sounds funny but apparently nipple stimulation is suppost to relase some sort of hormone into your system wich can start your contractions. it works the same sort of way as sex but if you have an enormous belly and dont fancy it, try with your nipples!! ↑
hi all.im 38 weeks pregnant and very front heavy as im so little.ive tryed everything aswell.i got my partner 2 do an internal on me which isnt as bad as it sounds,just split 2 primrose oil capsules over his hands and let him insert hi fingers slowly and just gently wiggle his fingers up there 4 a while.that pulled my mucus plug away at 37 weeks.i tryed a breast pump which didnt work.i take 2 black cohosh capsules evetyday and 1 primrose oil a day aswell which is meant 2 bring on labour.i drank 4 oz of casor oil and it just made me poo 4 days which was very very painfull which did nothing.walking hurts 2 much as he's engaged now.but lastnite i had sex but stick your bum in the air and your face in the pillow,they say this position bcoz the penis goes up further and can pull the mucus plug away bcoz theres something in the seimen.it could also help to break your waters.i rubbed sum jasmine oil into my stomach about an hour ago and im now feelin some mild period pain type things.i also ate a fresh pineapple 2day which is meant to send off some sort of hormone that triggers labour but you need 2 eat about 7 of them 2 get enough of the thing thats in it.ive not long had a hot bath and im still gettin period type pains.im just about 2 av a stronh rasberry tea before i go 2 sleep.my mum has had 7 kids and has done an tryed all of these things and theyve all turned out perfectly healthy and alot of these things ive tryed worked for her at 37 weeks.hope you dont get too stresses coz stress an anxiety will not help at all.keep smiling all as were all in the same boat.will let you know how i get on.xx ↑
honestly, i tried everything after i was 10 days overdue, nothing works, the baby comes when the baby is ready. Keep in mind doctors will only let you go overdue a week or so, so if you can just wait until the baby is ready, I promise you the baby will be born on his/her birthday. ↑

My first prenancy was great...this on has been hell!!! Is it too early to try all of the things mentioned on this page? I am 2 cm dialated and I have benn having on and off again contractions for the past week...any suggestions? ↑
way too many hormones flying around! you ladies need to chill.. your kid will come when it comes. STRESSING will just put your bubby in DISTRESS and make things WORSE. just chillax and enjoy the peace and sleep that you wont be getting once he/she is born. Honestly, do you really think adding foreign foods and crap like castor oil is good for anyone? just wait it out, its all worth it otherwise you wouldnt have wanted to be pregnant in the first place. think about it. You'd think all you women that have had children before would know to just relax. k. ↑
ladies, im a little over 35 wks, first child, young mom, i have been in so much pain this past wk, i can barley walk because of so much pressure pulling down, am i dropping yet? have i dropped already and i havent noticed? and my baby has been cuddled up in my ribs it has been very hard to breathe, i am tempted to try to indue this labor myself but if its not safe for him then i will deal with this pain for one more month, what should i do? ↑
To all who keep telling these very excited woman that want to have their baby's to use castor oil, STOP!!! Castor oil can be fatal to you're baby, i almost lost mine when she swollowed maconium , (her own excretion). keep in mind that castor oil is a laxitive, and when you poop, so does she/he, yes they can do that inside of the womb and they can litterally drown in it. my baby is 6 now, and has a comprehension disability due to lack of oxygen to the brain because she almost drown in her own crap. Trust me on this one ask a physician or look it up, do your research on the matter, and then you will know. NEVER USE CASTOR OIL!!!!! ↑
