Okay so im glad im not the only one...i posted on this other girls thing about how its dangerous and maybe came off as harsh but idc its not safe and NO ONE should risk their babys life bc they want their baby to come out. Ask for an induction from ur dr if you just cant wait. Otherwise suck it up and let ur baby grow!! It *****, I will be the first to admit it, but its for the best!

Lol mine didn't want to either and since it worked last time he said no to eating any pineapple this time. He is even afraid to have sex a lot because I'm already dilated at 1 and 30% effaced so he is afraid I'm going to go into preterm labor. I'm only 29 weeks.

I was only dilated at two. And I only ate half of the pineapple throughout the day, had sex like 3 times, and walked like a mile and a half. All that in the same day then water broke (actually it didn't even break completely it just started to leak) by 11 or so that night and I went to l and d the next morning and they induced me

Honestly the best way to self induce for the ladies that are trying is naturally sex induce sex, walk, squats. Dint drink or take anything and this was said to me by my nurse I'm 38 weeks and can't wait till she's here but I refuse to take anything or drink anything to Rush my baby, she'll come when she's ready but that doesn't mean I won't have sex to help. I presumably have been feeling horrible can't sleep been having back labor 3 days In a row but I still won't rush her

I get attacked a lot when I try and tell woman not to do things that have possibilities of things going wrong. I get told I'm overreacting and its very rare and blah blah blah. But in my opinion (as a mom going on #3) why do anything that has possible effects whether common or rare? We have enough to worry about as pregnant woman with things we can't control. So why put ourselves at risk or things we CAN control?

Many women don't understand that if baby passes bowel movement it can result in stillbirth I've read that from many women that have tried castor oil end up with complications

Ikr! When I read about some woman taking 2 tablespoons of it I was like whoa, why would you even do that? ! Of course I didnt say anything cuz I didnt wanna start a fight. But really no one should be doing that, pregnant or not. I really hope their babies are ok and dont end up with some lasting effect from it

I have mistakenly swallowed mouth wash today n I am scared although it was very little amount of it I swallowed. Could it effect the baby I having empty stomach for sure cuz I haven't ate anything in that time. I am 9 weeks pregnant.
