I am 36 weeks pregnant today and was wondering if anyone has tried Rasberry Leaf Tea and if they did where did they purchase it because i am having a hard time finding it. I have vitamin stores and CVS, Rite Aid, and Ekerd around my area. If anyone tried it please reply and tell me where you found it. THANK YOU

I am on my third child and the first two were both late. The first was 8 days late but came on her own all though we did need to break my water. My second child was 7 days late and an induction was scheduled. I went in and all they had to do was break my water and 4 hours later my second daughter was born. Now I am due this Sunday(2 days) and he will not come out. I have an appointment scheduled for Monday and at that time they said they will schedule me for an induction, again. I pray that he comes on his own so that I can at least experience something new.

I'm a single mom 21 years old expecting my 2nd child any day now. I have been dilated to a 2 for 4 weeks now. I am so ready for this baby to come out, my stomach has been tight for the past 3 months and there is no room for this baby to move with me only weighing 157lbs!! This will be my Christmas present!

just want to know how to induce labour . I am tired of being pregnant and getting frustrated with the big belly. I would rather have the baby here then keep waiting........At least I can do things if this belly wasn't so much in the way....feeling out of breath is no fun!

I am a single mom 34 years old and expecting my 5th child due on New Years Eve. My 4th child is only 15 months old today and I'm still working. My older kids are 15, 12, and 7 (not babies) neverthless I am having the hardest time keeping up with the demands of being a mom a single mom especially with the holidays, Christmas shopping, decorating. etc Well ladies I tried castor oil 4 whole ounces straight followed by an orange juice chaser. I did this on wednesday and still no baby. As a matter of fact it only had mild laxative effects. Needless to say I'm very much disappointed. Would love to deliver in the next day or so and at least be mobile next in the next week. Ultrasound done on the 7th showed healthy 6lb8oz girl. I think she's ready and I'm surely ready. I need help....Any more ideas???
