Was due on the 13th. Have tried everything except castor oil (which I refuse to do.) Almost no contractions at all. When I am doing nipple stimulation I do get a lot of tightness in the abdomen but it stops as soon as I stop. A cramp here or there when walking a lot but very minimal. Taking 2000mg epo by mouth and 500 internally at night. Have been drinking 2-4 cups of red raspberry leaf tea all trimester every day. Have eaten blazingly hot pepper and spicy food frequently. 3 whole pineapples in the past 4 days. Go for power walks around the mall and up and down the stairs, and out by the lake and through the neighborhood. Bounce on yoga ball. Lots of sex. Cleaning house. Massages. Pressure points. Clary sage essential oil. No more wives tales left I think!

Due March 22nd. I've gotten a membrane sweep this past Wednesday, cleaned the car, reorganized the storage in our house, cleaned the closet and downstairs living room, organized everything in preparation for the hospital and baby's homecoming, sex, and walking around (shopping lol). Nothing to show for it but some blood tinged discharge accompanied with some minor period like cramps from the membrane sweep and cankles from being on my feet a lot. With my first pregnancy my daughter came a week before she was due. Guess my son will come whenever he feels like it lol.

Ok, so check off sex and my husband  also pushed  on pressure  points that are supposed  to induce labor... so now I have tried pretty much everything, except  Castor oil and primrose,  but I really don't want to try that route.

I'm due the 24th and I've tried everything except castor oil (didn't work with my other babies). Nothing works! I'm gonna try a long walk and extra rough sex and see if that works. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
