Did anyone try it? Did anyone suceed? Ifso can you please tell me what you did because i'm booked in to be induced on the 3rd and it's the 29th now and to me it seems unlikely that she's going to be here before then so i want a bit of a plan to try over the weekend if she's not here by then to try and avoid the medicated way.
thanks in advance .Danni xx

when they say nipple stimulation, they are reffering to you using a pump on your breasts for about an hour. Not just rubbing your nipps! lol!

I Had sex at 37 weeks, when I was 1cm dialated and she came the next afternoon. I"m positive that the sperm is the reason *I* went into labor.

For some reason, this pregnancy, sex just doesn't interest me. blah.

what ever you do, *don't* do the castor oil. YOu'll wind up just pooping everywhere! hahahaha!!

My midwife was talking about it today, she told me the best ways were sex and nipple stimulation! It was quite funny she said 'when you get to 38 weeks just get some baby oil or lotion and sit there rubbing it in all over your boobs! Pulling on your nipples etc,' it just made me laugh because she was doing all the actions!! Laughing lol

yeah i heard that rubbing was enough.. just for a longer period of time.

ive actually heard its best if your partner does it for you.

Sex has definitely gotten awkward!! One position that works for us though, is for me to lay on my back at the edge of the bed and he stands up. With that angle, it feels pretty good!!! Laughing

yeah it's just not as romantic when you can hardly see each other and kissing during it is kind of not an option unless you do some serious yoga moves. Laughing

I had sex the night before I had Ava. Minutes after having sex I starting having contractions, but it was false labor. My doctor said that walking doesn't work, all it does is make all the blood rush to the legs and irritates the uterus which causes false labor.
