Re: Naturally Induced Labour??
Hi,
what helped me on both my girls was going for a good 1 or 2 mile walk and eating the hottest chinese I could that night I went in to labour.

Hope all goes well.

Let me know how you get on x

I think orgasm would help. I had sex night be4 with all my children. But now a days some drs seem to believe its not too good in late pregnancy to have intercourse. Not when I was having babes, they dint say nothing. Said it was fine

Try This
Have sex if you can or allow male to ejaculate on you the you need to have an orgasam the hormones in the sperm induce labour late (9 mths) in pregnancy, but..... You have to have orgasam so that the sperms goes up into your cervix.... Hope this helps....

Semen contains prostaglandins which can induce labor.I would advise walking, and getting plenty of rest, your body is working overtime right now.You have nothing to worry about, usually a baby is born between 38 and 42 weeks.When was your mucus plug discharged?Its usually 2 weeks after your mucus plug has dropped and it is highly unlikely that you will carry 20 days after your mucus plug is gone.Good luck and I hope a healthy baby arrives very soon!!

On the 18th of august? That would put you at 26 days with plug out.It is rare for a woman to go past 20 days, most women are timed around a little before two weeks or a little after.If you carry for another week I will be suprised.It sounds to me like you are almost there.The pushing sensation you are feeling is the baby descending towards your pelvic muscles.It's nothing to worry about,it happens to every woman near labor.You're almost there, I suggest trying to get the basics for your laborbag, like a new toothbrush, a few razors,and a cotton t-shirt, etc.

Thank you. Yeah that is what my dr said too. He cant believe that I am still pregnant. Ok so should I still keep trying home remedys to induce labor? I know that sounds weird but as you can tell I am starting to get anitcy.

Really I didnt know that you shouldn't go this long with out a plug my dr said that some woman will go without theres for about four weeks and then they deliver.

It is totally fine to keep trying home remedies, by your mucus plug being out this long your body is telling you that the baby and you are ready for labor.I have never heard of a woman going over a month with her mucus plug out.I hope this gives you some insight on how much longer it will be.It is normal to be antsy, it would be strange not to be.

Your Urges to Push
Angel check your tummy during your "feeling the need to push" see if it tenses if its tenseing up a a steady rate... 15- 20 mins or less but at a steady rate head to the hospital.. But walk as much as you can. I know I was really lucky with my pgs with labor. I hardly felt it until they had me on my back for hours at a time. But walk around, and see if its getting tight. You might already be in labor.....
