Ive tried walking to speed up labor but all I get is sore feet. Its kinda hard to walk (or waddle) when ur this far along.

Amen!!! I am still walking though no luck. What about drinking orange juice? I read somewhere that it can give you dierriah so that would help trigger labor?

A really warm towel ( wet) can help enduce labor too well sopsibly it thins out your sac enough for the baby to break your water or for it to break and that will trigger labor.

I'm only at the beginning of my pregnancy and so, haven't really looked into this part. However, I find that using google and just simply doing a search on wording such as "natural inducing" gives you plenty to read.

Here's a couple....

i think that I heard raspberry tea is a good one....But don't quote me on that and I would always check with your midwife or consultant prior to trying anything that may potentially do you harm.

Good luck!!!

Drink some castor oil, then have sex, that is what my doc told me-lol if that is not possible ummmmmmm......Castor oil, then take a long walk then a bath (it'll loosen your cervix)

hey a, did u ever go for that pedicure? Lol

My husband gave it to me. I loved it. You are right it is very relaxing.

I cant get my hubby talked into having sex he is so scared that he will hurt me cause I have so much swelling down there and I really hurt. Ok this is a dumb question well actually its not. But I was wondering if he made me have an orgasem and then put his cum all in me would that work? I know it sounds crazy but he cant get in me so I was wondering if that would work just as well.

Please I know it is a weird question but I am despreat.. Please answer me

Hi angel,

about the castor oil, it is a laxative so be prepared to have to be very friendly with your toilet if you choose to take it. Also, i'd prolly check with my ob/gyn before doing the castor oil, because it can be pretty wicked.

It isn't really the cum that brings on labour....It's the orgasm from sex that sends the uterus into contractions which can trigger labour. Hope this helps. Good luck with everything!! Positive thoughts girlie!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much I will definaltly conceder the orgasem thing lol

Ok this morning when I got up I had diarrhea and have had it about all day. That is usally a sign right?

Ok now to the sex thing how long should it be untill you think I will see results if any are going to happen?

Just keep at it for good measure!!!!

I had sex the night before my waters broke. I heard it's both the chemicals in semem and the uterus contracting wfrom orgasm that can trigger labour. Plus, after you have the baby you might not feel up to it for a while, so have plenty while you still can.
Even if it doesn't bring on labour, it'll be a pleasant distraction.

Enjoy!

I'm glad you got to full term after all angel, even if it means you've been living on the edge a bit for the last couple of weeks.
Your baby will be the better for it.
Got my fingers crossed for you
