Anyone ?????

I had my doctors appointment today I'm 2cm and doctor doesn't think I'll make it to my dd. e said all I need is some good contractions. I've been walking for at least 3-4 hours everyday non stop. I've also tried pineapple lol (didnt work)  I've been trying intercourse . I was just wondering has anyone had any successful attempts that actually put you into labor. I was thinking of  trying castor oil. Yes I know it isn't recommended I'm still debating if im going to try it. If you have anything negative to say keep it to yourself (: thanks

*castor oil lol

Wish there was something that did work, but after being overdue 3 times, I think I have to admit that nothing works (for me anyway!) and believe me I tried it all!! I've had to have sweeps done to get me moving (I delivered within 24hrs each time). I've tried everything but Castol Oil, the thought of the taste and the horror stories I heard put me off. Good luck, I would honestly reccommend rest, labour is so tiring (even when its quick, my last one was less than 3hrs) and the aftermath of dealing with a newborn really takes it out of you. I know its frustrating, only 5wks ago I was desperate to get my baby out, but I really dont know where the last 5wks have gone, its a whirlwind!

Omg I remember when I was in the my last weeks of my first pregnancy, I also googled ways to induce labor but none of it worked, I know its frustrating because your feet and back hurt, you can't sleep, your tired and cranky and you just want to be done and get the baby out, like the other ladies stated have your partner rub your back, belly, feet and another method is taking a warm bath and just sit in tve tub, read a book or magazine and have your partner supervise just in case you need help with anything. Good luck and congratulations, your baby will soon be in your arms :-)

I'm 37 wks I have done all of this I did my ball tonight and still my bambino is chillin as a matter of fact i was contracting regularly and everyone thought i would go early and as soon as i started trying to go early my contractions have stopped lol. So I will be watching your post for any luck, I haven't done casterol I tried it with a previous pregnancy I didn't know the risk last time so I just don't wanna chance it this time plus it didn't do anything I still had to be induced but I have heard success stories so good luck to ya!!

Yes just a regular massage but make due they concentrate right at you're ankles. My mother is a Masseuse and she told me she can not massage ankles a on pregnant woman because it can start up labor lol. Do I'm sure it should work and if not then it'll be nice and relaxing for you !

Baby4bride- thank u. Just a regular massage??

My Dr told me to try sqatting down and have your hubby hold your hands and push but very, very lightly. I thought he was crazy but i was only 1 cm and two hours later i was 7 cm and progressing quickly. You can try it and it may work but every pregnancy is different. Good luck!!!!!!!!!

Have sometime massage your ankles it releases hormones that can start up contractions.

[marisol_jose1]

Thank u lol I just started trying and yeah that's true I know that if she's not ready she won't come. I figured it's worth a shot to try though . I've been having contractions that are consistent they are 4-5 minutes apart but I want to see if they get more intense. Ive tried the birthing ball but I'll try it again.

[mrsreeder2be]

Try doing squats or bouncing on a birthing ball. Just remember that you can try everything in the book and if your body isn't ready it won't work. Try relaxing too.. go get a pedicure or some accupressure. Sometimes when you stop trying so hard baby will come! LOL.

By the way I'm 38 weeks and yes I know I have 2 weeks left but my doc approved of trying natural ways to induce labor so again no negative comments thanks(:
