I think it has to be sticks :/ an I boiled about 2 cups an used one stick I've never tryed this before an wasn't sure so I decided to start small lol
Well I drank a cup of this an I'm pretty optimistic its working I'm having off the wall BHC there getting really strong now an closer together. An I'm feeling lots of pressure in my pelvis an a lot of crampyness I'm drinking one more cup before bed :)
Me too!! I'm waiting to see if it works!
Breeitsaboy- that sounds a lot like what ive been going through. Its so miserable! Your a week further than I am though!!! I will be praying this works for both of us!
Can I use ground cinnamon???? We're out of sticks
Wait... I'm desperate I'm in early labor now, how much if each to boil??? Do I drink it warm or cooled??
Princesslo- I understand you too! I'm basically in the same boat! I'm 38+3, and exactly 4 weeks ago had to get a shot to stop my contractions. Then I had 1-2 days out of each week after that where I would have pretty strong contractions, but they would never stay long enough to be admitted! And this week.. I've been having contractions almost all the time about 10 minutes apart since Friday of last week. Went to l&d on Sunday, and I was still only dialated to a 1 and 70% thinned. Today, I'm a "2....ish" and still having contractions!
Im not sure if the other kind of cinnamon will work but it won't hurt to try good luck ladies hope it work for you also
ive heard that eggplant also helps
I'm super tired so I think I am going to go to bed. I had one glass tonight but I will def try doing a few glasses tomorrow. Every couple of hours. I hope this works!
Hmm...
So....if you have pure cinnemon in a bottle. (Seasoning jar thingy) why wouldnt be the same as cinnemon sticks? Is it because theres more cinnemon in the sticks? Im asking because we dont have a car but i have cinnmon tea and cinnemon here just not the sticks! Lol i may just try it anyway, this made me crave cinnemon tea.
I started having contractions 3 or 4 hours after my my first cup of tea and yea u can add sugar or hunny also I drank like 4 cups /one cup every 3 hours and the next day I had my dauther
Breeitsaboy- totally understand! I've been in preterm labor for 3 weeks now. Agonizing labor pains, my son dropping, two hospital trips. I'm so fet up and ready to get this baby out! I'm scheduled to be induced in 12 days and want to go all natural before hand. And I've literally tried everything but the caster oil.

So.. I'm going to try this in just a few.. I will also keep you guys updated on if it works for me!
As for castor oil, I have tried it twice now. No, not kidding.. And here I am.. Still pregnant! Didn't even give me like diarrhea cramps or anything of the sort.. And that was with the highest recommended dose. My sister on the other hand.. She was in the hospital in labor within about 10 hours of taking her first dose (4 tbsp).
Yes, I'm guilty of being about to try the castor oil for a third time! I'm also going to do evening primrose oil vaginally, and drink the tea. If all of this together doesn't work, then my kid obviously ready.. No matter how ready and miserable his momma is!
I've tried pineapple and spicy food, I refuse to do castor oil because of the risks. I just haven't heard of the cinnamon tea. I'm willing to try anything. I'll be induced in 12 days if I don't have him before then and would prefer to go before then to avoid induction!
Pineapples, spicy foods, and my mother in law says something about castrol oil, take a shot of that and you'll be in labor in no time lol
I just drank one glass. I will try doing another one tonight! Keep me posted and I will do the same!
&&; she said to add a little honey or sugar
@princesslo007 I read that some girl had lost her mucus plug already she was 39 weeks &&; she drank 3 cups of the tea (with the real cinnamon stick) &&; 3 hours later she started getting her contractions &&; went into labor. Ima try this right now good luck to all yu mamas who are also gonna do it keep us all posted!!!
I just read online its suppose to release your mucus plug, what if you have already lost it?
Yes it works. Most hispanics use this, my mom has with all her kids and she says she'll give it to me to use.
This is gross lol. But going to try it. For the ladies who tried it, how long afterwards did you go into labor? And how much did you have to drink?
