Q: Want Baby Out- Now!

asked by: Becky on January 1st, 2006

Hi there i'm a new member but I was wondering if anyone can give me some ideas on inducing labour naturally that actually work. I'm 37 weeks but i've had such a bad pregnancy (kidney infections, anaemia etc) that I really want the baby out early. My daughter (who's only 10 months old!) was born naturally at 38 weeks but I know every pregnancy is different and i'm impatient.
So far have tried:
making love- gave me mild backache but no contractions
nipple stimulation- just made them sore
castor oil- was in agony with bad diahorrea.
Any other suggestions please?
Sorry for long post
p.S happy new year everyone!

Raspberry tea, oil of primrose, supposed to soften cervix for labor. If you are indeed ready will make you go into labor.

I've tried eating hot spicy food but nothing and my local store doesn't sell raspberry tea. Guess i'm just going to have to be patient!

My doctor told me that they will only wait one week and if I wanted to pick a day between the 4th-10th that he would let me. So if I have to be induce im going to pick friday the 6th because thats when my mom and family will all bebale to make it. Does the castor oil thing work? I have read so much saying that it did and then there is soo much saying that it didnt. And I sure dont want to do anything that will hurt my baby. Any advice?

Happy new year to everyone! I tried the castor oil, to no avail except to clean out hte colon. My mother whom is an rn in birth /delivery made me walk. We went to the mall and walked and walked and by gosh, that night my water broke! Hope this helps! God bless you and your little one!
