Nothing works until the baby is ready. We have done everything, and still no baby.
i was 4.5 centimeters and 75% effaced as of last thursday. i went to the hospital and they sent me home because i was in false labor. Iv'e walked, had sex, evenran alittle after sex!, accupressure and lastly castor oil. The castor oil kept me on the toilet for upwards of six hours. to only have mild contracions more often. So my advice is just sit back and relax you baby knows when its supposed to be here according to him he will be right on time no matter what you do.
i'm past ready to go into labor and i've tried spicy food, sex (still trying but not working thus far), walking, even cleaning a whole lot till i'm so tired, nipple stimulation which sucks. screw nasty castor oil that crap will just give you the poops. i'm soooooooo tired of this
I'm in my 38th week and my doctor is finally believing me in that my due date is not last week but a few weeks ahead. Yet it makes me wonder if my doctor feels I'm the size of a woman that should be due so in that case I've tried warm baths, spicy food, sex, walking and I've even danced to Tina and Ike Turner's "Proud Mary," still all I've had were a few mild contractions that were not constant. I'm tired of trying and I guess my baby will come when she gets good and ready. But I have one last thing to try and that's drinking Red Rasberry Leaf Tea, but after that if nothing happens I'll have 1 to 2 weeks until the big times.
well with my last baby i had sex took a lot of hot baths (to the point you cant stand the heat) then i did some squats and then jogged in place and i was in labor but with this baby nothing seems to work
Ive tried walking, jogging, having sex, accupressure and alot more but nothing seems to work for me. Its getting frustrating but my husband told me to be patient. And I guess we'll just have to wait. Im past my due date already and i might be scheduled for an induced labor. Its too bad that its taking me time to get in labor when my maternity leave has started already without my baby. :(
well i tried the caster oil thing and i began having contractions 10 hrs after i took it. but apparently i was dehydrated and the contractions stopped. they were 5 min apart for 3 hrs and then nothing i got sent home from the hospital to wait it out. my mom still swears by. if u can get threw the thickness then go ahead and try it..it's ur decision
I'm 40 weeks, today's my due date, according to my cycle. According to the ultrasounds that have every 2 weeks, baby is already 42 weeks. I have an appointment tommorrow, I wonder what's going to happen!
