Starting Labor Posted: 07-05-04 13:42pm
K so ive read that walking alot speeds up
going into labor..I think ive heard a few
other things but im braindead right now..
Does anyone know of, or has anyone heard
of anything else that supposibly helps
speed it up or helps make you go into
labor sooner? I know nothing is
probably proven or anything.. But I
wanted to start doing some things maybe to
speed it up hopefully (after my parents
get home tomorrow that is) I just want to
try anything slowly so I hopefully will
have him on my own before my due date
instead of being induced on the 22nd*
thanks for your help!

Well I started wlaking lots lately and I
noticed its helping more (also I heard it
helps to walk in ur last month of
pregnancy becuz its easier to lose the
weight afterwards). I also heard sex is
good ( a midwife told me that theres
something in the sperm that starts with a
p.. Cant remember what its called.. But
its the same thing they use when they
induce u so sperm can soften ur cervix and
help u dilate) umm bumpy roads also I
heard (i believe that one cuz it helped my
baby drop!!!!) umm.. Castor oil...
Wouldnt wanna try that tho lol! Thats all
I can think of.... Maybe sqwatting??
Lol! I dont know! But walking would be a
good start!
