bringing on labour

[bubbah2]

Hey im 39+5 days and ive tried everything to help bring on labour and nothing seems to be working. This my 2nd pregnancy . And with my first i drank some raspberry leaf tea and did vacuuming and had her at 40+1day. But this time round its like shes comfortable and doesnt wanna come. Any ideas i can do to help bring her on. Im over being pregnant. Lol.

I was told that Castor oil isn't safe because of the symptoms... Google it. On the other hand the primrose oil works well. You just have to insert the capsule into your vagina or poke a hole in it and rub it on your cervix. Walking for 20-30 mins a day helps, sex with your partner, or doing 15-20 squats helps as well if done right. Being active in general will help and eating pineapples as well.

Whats the castor oil way?

I'm also 39+5 and nothing is working... I've taken long walks, primrose oil tablets, raspberry lead tea, pineapple, even went black Friday shopping for 6 hrs. Nothing has worked. This is baby #4 for me and I really thought she'd come earlier. I'm now considering caster oil.

I have been doing the primrose oil tabs and drinking the raspberry tea for a couple weeks now. I'm not trying to push myself into labor yet I am just trying to help my cervix loosen up. With my first pregnancy I never dilated and was given patocin. I don't want it this time so I started preparing early. I also took castor oil with her and had her in 24 hours. When I hit 38 weeks I plan to take castor oil with my son. I'm due christmas is why. Try walking, doing squats, raking leaves, etc...
