Women with kids already, help?

[Justice_Page]

Ok so I switched doctors when I was about 32 weeks pregnant with my first child and he thinks my last doctor had my due date wrong so instead of being almost 37 weeks he thinks I'm almost 41 and has encouraged me to do anything to start labor as the baby is perfectly healthy. I have tried castor oil, pineapple, walking, and now trying evening primrose oil but so far nothing has worked and I'm 3-4 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Besides sex and nipple stimulation can any of u ladies give me any suggestions that worked for u that have no harmfulside effects for the baby?

I know that massage therapist are told not to massage pregnant ladies ankles because it will put them into labor, maybe you could look it up to see exactly how to do it

I guess black licorice can help too, never tried ut thiugh.  Be carefuk with the castor oil, I know a lot of woman have had babies pass miconium while in utero because of it.

Glad you switched doctors because that's something your old doctor should of picked from your anatomy scan. Walk as much as you can. Being active is one of the best ways to get labor going.

They counted what they thought was a period but it wasn't

Ouch. Wow 4 weeks off? How did that happen? Well membrane sweep followed by sex is what worked for me, sorry. Nothing else seemed to work.

Well I just got released from the hospital because contractions had started and I had a 'labor pattern' but it stopped and they told me they couldn't help me they couldn't break my water or do ANYTHING but they couldn't stop my labor either.

Membrane sweep and swimming helped for me
