Hey all! With my second baby she was over due and my doctor said to have sex and then take a nice walk close to the hospital. I went into the hospital with horrible contractions but not dialated.so my husband and I went home and had sex then went and walked for about 10 minutes and before we got to the first marker at the park I went back to the hospital and was 4 centimeters and the doctor told me I could walk around the halls to move it along and in about 20 minutes of that my baby girl was here.

I did nipple stimulation I just Google it and it told me to use the beast pump switch breastfeeding every 5 min until Co tractions start and as soon as they ease up repeat and you'll have baby in 3 days. I had mine in 2

I did the milk and orange juice as well. I don't know if it worked or not. I got acupuncture done as well and my water broke early the next morning. I personally think it was the acupuncture but it could have been both.

Maybe baby is not ready yet. They say no matter what you do. It wont work if maybe isnt ready.

Brandie was it actual orange juice and whole milk? Did you mix it all in a cup like you were supposed to, and drink it for three days?
I mixed 100% tropicana with whole milk. Definitely worked for me.

The orange juice and milk mix threw me into labor on the second night of drinking it. The first night I wasn't dilated at all. The second night I woke up at 12 with awful contractions, found out I was dilated to a 4, within 40 minutes I was at a 10 and pushing my baby out.
That's the only thing that worked for me, and I swear by it.
Mix half cup 100% orange juice with half cup whole milk. And drink it for 3 days.
