Cinnamon tea results (so far)

I drank about one and a half coffee glasses of cinnamon tea last night. Probably around 8 pm or so. I woke up around midnight with semi painful contractions. They weren't terribly consistent, but were definitely there. Kept me up until after 2 am.. I woke up again around 5.. It's now 6:30.. And they're slowly getting stronger and closer together. I think I'm going to try to force myself to drink at least another half of a glass, a whole one if I can stomach it, and see where that puts me.

I'll keep everyone updated throughout the day on this post. I pray it works to put me into labor!

Ya, inductions are hard and not the way I want to do this. I don't like the idea of pitocin or the epidural, and like you, it's very important to me to do this as naturally as I can. I know that pitocin makes contractions much stronger, which I also know makes my chances of getting an epidural much higher. And I do not want that at all! So induction is both my last resort, and my motivation to keep trying anything that may help this pr
