Yea thats true im not going to take the castor oil i dont want an extra show lol... ugh i dont know wether i feel contractions or if its my mind this thing is getting confusing.

In have tried almost everything as well and nothing !! I'm taking evening primrose oil and that helped baby drop pretty low . my cervix was still high my last visit but doc said baby was very low . I have been walking almost 2 miles a day to help with labor . I just gave up on forcing her and just started preparing my body for when she actually decides to come !

The one thing I was NEVER brave enough to do. I just assumed I would vomit and probably poop myself at the same time and still end up with no baby lol. My vanity would allow me to stay pregnant rather than possibly poop during delivery lol

I started taking primrose oil and walking a lot. But none of this helped so they are inducing me on sunday almost 40wks.

Stay away from castor oil! Lol it'll give you the poos.

I got mine at the pharmacy.  Its cheap too. It says to induce labor you should put them inside of you as vlose to your cervix as you can but pop them a little before you do. The burst and just disintegrate inside you. Only do internally over night tho and wear a pad. It leaks out lol. First trip to the loo in the morning will look like an oil spill too. Stay away from the cohosh. I took it and I was sick the whole day and it did nothing.  I even tried acupunture acupressure and reflexology. Felt great but NOTHING haha. Oh well what do you do. I wanted him in there so now hes not leaving.

Wow. Thanks im getting extra impatient where do i find the primrose oil lol? Those are some cool techniques

I havr tried everything with my 3rd since I was 37 wks. Now im 39 weeks still nothing.  I tried sex, curry, black cohosh, evening primrose oil (internally also) red rasberry leaf tea, walking, driving down a bumpy road,  bouncing on a fit ball, doing squats, NOTHING. all I managed to do was frustrated and disappoint myself lol. Other than the hospital I really dont think anyone or anything can make that baby come early.... I think personally the people that do these things and get their bubs are just lucky and did it at the right time.... hang in there. I know exactly where you are coming from.
