Old Wives Tales???

[Cassondrax3]

I'm 35+5 weeks. I can't sleep and this back pain is getting to be more than I can bare.  It feels like all of the muscles in my back are trying to tear apart. Someone please help me with some old wives tales and how accurate they are on how to go into labor early. I am a single mom so sex really isn't an option. Please help me fellow mamas!!!

I just watched a you tube video showing you the pressure points in your feet to press - apparently it works for 80% of woman. Google natural induction or what pressure points help induce labour to find it. I'm 34wks and am having a big baby and want to avoid induction again so I'm going to start drinking raspberry leaf tea next week and do the pressure points at 37wks so give it a go and let me no if it works ;)

You could try peppermint oil. I luv using oils but have been cautioned against peppermint because it causes contractions. U just rub it all over ur belly.

cod liver oil apparently!  but it tastes awful, I dont know if the capsule form is as good tho?! and I also heard walking up and down stairs is very good! fingers crossed for you!!! :-)

Birthing ball and an orgasm worked like a charm for me at 37 weeks. I sat on the birthing ball all the time and had an orgasm...my water broke right after the orgasm
