Ways to induce labour

[Nessaraevalentine]

Natural ways to induce labour. I'm 40 weeks and 4 days and my cervix has not changed in 4 weeks.
If she doesn't come on her own I am scheduled to be induced on OCT 8. At least she has an eviction date. But I wanna meet her already !! Any advice ladies ?

I can for for sure try that thanks.
I have no more appts with my doctor everything now has to go through the hospital. On OCT 8 they are gonna call me in and tell me what time to be there to be induced.
I just really wanted to be able to do this on my own, but sometimes you gotta suck it and realise you need a little help.
I also have a huge fibroid and my doctor did think I wasn't going to be able to dilate naturally .
So 3 more days  I guess. I'm gonna keep trying stuff. I'm in maternity leave, gotta keep myself busy

I hear you, I'm 40 + 3 today.  I've tried everything & no signs of labour.  I really don't want any medical intervention so I'm in for the long haul. They will start daily monitoring at the hospital 40 + 12 if bub hasn't come by then. I hope bub comes soon for both of us.  Good luck!

Ask for the sweep! They shud have given u at least 1 by now!! Get sum clary sage aroma therapy oil from a health food store mix a few drops with a lil milk & add it to ur bath then put sum on muzzy or cloth & put that on ur pillow while u sleep. Cud get hubs to giv u a massarge with it to! Its great stuff do all this after ur sweep is the best time but u can do it without a sweep also :-) good luck!

Tried the nipple stimulation and pinapple. My doc was suppose to do a sweep and never did.

Drink Ginger tea as soon as it's done then after u done with the tea take a really hot belly and back shower for as long as you can hold it nd as hot as u can that would be enough to get u started

Have you asked your doctor for a sweep?

Poop!! I really don't want a c section . Hopefully inducing from L&D will work and she'll come out .

I has the same issue with my first and he was finally taken by c section. Everything I read says it's really only possible to speed labor once it's started, but it doesn't actually start the process to begin with.. hang in there, you've just got a few days to go. Pamper yourself as much as possible, because once that baby comes, your life is no longer your own lol.
