Aa
feel like ive tried everything....
Walking, bouncing, orgasms, and lastly nipple stimulation. I am getting a little something, but nothing more than what I am used to! I am thinking about seriously giving up on natural inducement and just try my hardest to be patient!
I took the evening primrose oil for 3 days and my water broke the morning after my 3rd dose. What I did was go to Walgreens bought the 60 count 1000mg of evening primrose oil and took one orally at night and also took one and inserted it up my vagina next to my cervix every night be sure to wear a pad when the oil pill pops some leaks out the pill has postroglanids ( spelling??) the same thing that sperm has on it. I did this 3 nights in a row, did my pregnancy dance watch thr one on you tube with women danncing to ice ice baby! lol then i briskly walked a mile the 3rd day and the next morning I woke up and had a bloody show and my water was leaking it was 5 am contractions started by 530 and at 7 am I was already 6 cm dilated then at 9 contractions started getting closer and worse at 920I suddenly felt the need to push and they checked me and I was a 10cm and after 4 pushes at 945 I was holding my baby girl ! The primrose oil makes your cervix really soft and helps your dilate faster midwifes say its safe to do this at week 35 I waited until 36 weeks 2 days and my baby was born on 36 weeks 5 days but she was 7 pounds 7 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long ! I hope your holding your baby soon good luck! I was due dec 14th she was born the 21st. I didn't rip, tare , or get cut. I did lost of research on primrose oil before taking it I refused to even take pain meds while pregnant so I wouldn't do anything to hurt my baby next time I will atleast wait till 38 weeks though I'm just amazed how fast my labor was and that my baby girl was so big for 36 weeks 5 days
I was looking up pressure points. I have tried pinching the webbing on my hands, but nothing. I'll keep up with it though. Is there a correct way to do it?
Look up pressure points to induce labor i tried it and a week later i was in labor about 1.5 wk early...maybe a coincidence lol but worth a try
I've been taking primrose for a few days i just posted something about it the other day. After i did i did a ton of research on it. I did not find one thing bad said about it other than could possibly cause nausea (which it hasn't for me). But basically it won't really put you into labor. But its showed that it helps with softening of the uterus which can help with easier labor and would help you from ripping or tearing, not with every woman but a lot that i read. I would say do the research about it and possibly ask your doctor if you want. At my last appt i was 36+1 and 70% thinned I'll be 37+ 5 tomorrow at my next one and I'm getting checked then. So I'm hoping its helping. (:
How did your doctor detect your inadequate uterus? And I have an appointment tomorrow morning so hopefully I will hear something. I have been getting some very mild contractions but nothing serious :(
I tried everything including castor oil and my baby was to big to come. I ended up having a csection and the doctor told me that I had an inadequate uterus and he wasn't going to come naturally. He was 8 lbs 14 oz after going to the bathroom a lot in me and on the table.
It's definitely worth a try. Maybe I can go to a store and get one.. I just hope its good because I am not even a fan of green leaf tea :/ lol
I'd think how ever you like the tea I only said as people said they went in to labour so though it was worth saying x
I was thinking about tryong primrose oil but, im scared that it could cause problems! Has anyone tried it
Raspberry leaf tea does not induce labor. It helps tone the uterus so it you get more of a bang out of your contractions.
Anyone know more about the raspberry tea? Im 40 wks today and also ready to get this ball rolling!
Have you tried dancing? I know it sounds kina weird but it worked with my first, and two of my friends. When I was due I turned on some music and danced for 45 min to an hour, I was grose and sweaty but it only took a couple hours after that for my water to break and labor to start. My friends were the same way. If you can get up and dance your baby out. :)
I haven't tried either one but next I am going to try the raspberry leaf tea. Does it have to be hot tea??? Because I hate hot tea.
People are saying evening primrose is meant to be a good way to bring in labour have you tried it yet love ? X
