Hot baths are a no-no any time during pregnancy! It may make you feel good and relaxed but it also warms you up and causes your body temp. To raise. Which is very similar to having a fever and as we all know when you heat up so does the baby and it can cause damage to it's nervous system or even fetal death. A "warm bath" will be fine but one where the water is hot to touch and you have to ease into it to get used to it is a don't. As for trying to get your cervix to come down try having sex or exercising. Good luck with the baby.

Go for a walk, have sex, I drank castor oil (it did nothing, well I took it sat and went into labour the monday after-so???)

ditto--i heard the same thing, if its so hot we have to ease into it--too hot for the baby.

I'm due tomorrow, I just got out of a very warm bath (not so hot that I had to ease in) warm enough to be too hot for my 2 and a half year old to get in too, which annoyed her no end.

Anyway, I didn't go into labour or anything.
I've been drinking rasbeery leaf tea for ages, switched to rasberry leaf capsules last week, and started drinking cumin seed tea almost hourly since yesterday. I've been taking evening primrose oil, and even putting a couple of capsules internally to help soften my cervix- big fat nothing all 'round. I've blisters from walking, my nipples are nealry falling off with all the stimulation i've been gicing them, and I think i'm getting arthritis in my thumbs and forefingers from the same, my husband is exhausted (not to mention winded) with all the sex, my mouth is raw with eating fresh pineapple, and i've got a stomach and fanny full of everything i've read that will help bring on labour.
I don't know what i'm more tired of, pregnancy or home remedies !!!!!!

Ooohhh that is so sad. It will be over soon, and youll have your little bundle. Good luck hunnie--hope its tomorrow.

God bless

I remember those days wanting to try everything to go into labor I don't think anything works you just got to let your body do its own thing you will have a baby before you know it sleep while you can! Lol I know its hard with the back pains ect but try. Good luck!
