Cinnamon tea results (so far)

[Bree_ItsABoy]

I drank about one and a half coffee glasses of cinnamon tea last night. Probably around 8 pm or so. I woke up around midnight with semi painful contractions. They weren't terribly consistent, but were definitely there. Kept me up until after 2 am.. I woke up again around 5.. It's now 6:30.. And they're slowly getting stronger and closer together. I think I'm going to try to force myself to drink at least another half of a glass, a whole one if I can stomach it, and see where that puts me.

I'll keep everyone updated throughout the day on this post. I pray it works to put me into labor!

I've actually had a few small contractions. And I have an appt at 4. Hoping I progress a little. Been in early labor two weeks and miserable!

Exactly princesslo007! Cinnamon has SO many benefits for your body, there's absolutely no harm in drinking it as a tea. Or even consuming it in your normal everyday life. I'm so glad it's helping you progress! I hope your mom is right and you can have that baby already!!!

@guessbaby, how long ago did you drink your tea? A half hour ago when you commented or a little while before that? I'm personally drinking a coffee cup full every 2-3 hours. Most women I've seen posting about it are doing a glass about every 3 hours. If you have enough time between now and your appointment I would maybe try drinking another glass! At least that's what I would do if it were me.

Omg I hope so! And the same with you! My mom really doesn't want them to induce, because of how hard induction can be. So she said to keep doing it!

Bree how far r u in your pregnancy? I so dont blame you for trying to speed up your labour. Being pregnant is not an easy task and it does wear you down

Ya, inductions are hard and not the way I want to do this. I don't like the idea of pitocin or the epidural, and like you, it's very important to me to do this as naturally as I can. I know that pitocin makes contractions much stronger, which I also know makes my chances of getting an epidural much higher. And I do not want that at all! So induction is both my last resort, and my motivation to keep trying anything that may help this pr
