Natural Induction!

[KMarie90]

I am 39+1 and I have contractions on and off nothing that is alarming. They set an induction date for April 10th and I really want her to come without Pitocin. Ive tried lots of things but nothing is working. Any ideas or just anything worked for anyone/ not worked? I am not down to try castor oil though, i already have some bad bathroom breaks and dont want more.

Im drinking it now eeewew oregano and basil not my cup of tea lol

[KMarie90]

Is the tea at the grocery store?

[maybaby19]

I've heard great things about oregano basil tea!!! I know about 5 ladies from this site that used it and went into labor and all it is is oregano, basil, and water. You can find the recipe online

Its in a white and blue box, the brand is Alvita. Its tea you actually drink, I believe they have pills, but I've always heard you should drink the tea. And its caffeine free so that's a plus :)

U can take with orange juice

[MrsMount1217]

You can usually find it at walgreens. That's where i've seen it. Have heard tremendous things about it, but I haven't tried it, I'm 33+4 so I may be trying it soon! Lol

[KMarie90]

Its gotta be red raseberry LEAF tea right? What color is it and where do you buy it?

[MrsMount1217]

try red raspberry leaf tea. And I wouldn't try castor oil! Benefits aren't worth the side effects to me!

[ammoh1111]

My friend took castor oil and directly effect her
But by me had not worked .it depend

[eleese27]

you should youtube the acupuncture pressure points ive heard them to be fairly successful.

[Aliciaw]

Oh wow that's neat I've never heard of that before.

[KMarie90]

Its a foley balloon cathater that they put at your cervix and it slowly fills with water to dialate you enough that the pitocin will work. When it fills it falls out I think it gets ypu to about 2cm

[Aliciaw]

What's the balloon they give you the night before?

[KMarie90]

Nope nothing like that here! I wish...

[hessy3]

really my doc did cervidil a pill in my cervix and within 2 hours i was dilating and broke my water and things were off maybe its because i refused to have an iv or anthign of that sort

[DelainaN]

Eat a whole fresh pineapple !

[KMarie90]

Thats all that they do here they dont try to sweep or anything. If your not dialated they give you a balloon the night before than some pitocin the next day. I was induced with my son I really just want to expirence it!! Im so sad....

[hessy3]

they can induce you without pitocin that isnt' your only option
