Inducing labour

[derrick_1996]

Hi,
I know all pregnancies are different and baby will only come when ready but I am now overdue and have had enough! I have tried everything from spicy food, fresh pineapple, bouncing on a birthing ball and walking a lot! Is there anything else I could try? Just feel useless not doing anything!

Try evening primrose oil it worked wonders for me. Yesterday I was sent home from labor and delivery because I was 4cm dilated 25% effaced and no contractions. I was so upset until I remembered I bought evening primrose oil before pregnancy. I inserted 3 through my vagina and took one by mouth at 9pm. By 11:45pm my water broke and at 7:21am I gave birth to my 7lb 10oz baby girl. Try it out good luck and congratulations

Ive tried lemon drop cupcakes, cinnamon tea, pineapple, grapefruit, ball bouncing, nipple stimulation, sex, walking, spicy food, cleaning etc... And nothing. I've been having contractions (they've been somewhat painful) on and off for days, but this baby is just being stubborn, like her daddy and doesn't want to come.

Sex seems to set me off, but yeah, only coz baby was ready, as it didn't in the weeks before... And acupuncture or acupressure - some people swear by it, didn't do that much for me, but worth a go!
