The only time I will try castor oil is after I go pass 40weeks mark an nothing else worked. But havin less then the normally recomended amount is good.

Im due in 7 days and am feelibg good still, still sleeping well apart from when I have to turn over cos my hips are killing. Ive been losing my plug for like 5 weeks but lost quite alot this morning. Ive not had bh but have had a few pains and a lot of pressure. I dont know if im dilated or anything as I dont get checked till im a week over for my sweep. I refuse to try caster oil or primrose oil its just unsafe in my eyes, id rathr go over. Ive been walking and bouncing though..not long now ladies and im sooo excited :-)

Lol mine are too sensitive for rubbing and pulling. I just do circles around the nipples. It makes me feela little nauseous but my doctor told me it was normal

Its weird and makes me feel a little sick but I definitely reccomend nipple stimulation. It causes your body to produce oxytocin which is the hormone the pictocin immitates when you being induced. The contractions are a little more painful and last longer but go away after 5 or 6

I really dont wanna try anything to induce labour expect walking an bouncing on the excirse ball. I havent been checked soo dont know about being dialated. Hubby is gettin two weeks off on the 16th which is my due date. Soo I go over my due date he wont be able to spend time with us. An I really need him I.am scared to go over two weeks an by time I give birth he has to back to work.which would suck..

I'm overdue... scheduled to be induced today actually.  =\  I am 1CM and "thick" and not favorable.  Monday I would be exactly 41 weeks.  No signs of anything thus far.  I may have lost my mucous plug but I doubt it.

I am also due in 6 days and also am starting to worry!!im only one cm dilated and have some cramping lost my mucus plug last week!! Ive tried everything to get my baby walking dancing pineapples sex stair clamming n nothing!! I am starting to stress I dont want to ho overdue but I just remind,my self that even if we dont have symptoms of labor all of that can change in a split second u can go from 0cm to 6cm in a manner of hours I guess we just got to be pacient n wait for our lil stubborn babies to make thier way out!!:)

Personally I haven't gave birth yet so I wouldn't know from experience , but I know many people who've tried castor oil some said it worked & for others it didn't . It tastes really bad so I wouldn't try it ... Try bouncing on an exercise ball , walking, or even having sex .
