for the people who are trying to induce labor.

I know everyone is different but I just wanted to share for the people who are desperate (as I was) I started trying some stuff at 37 weeks just minor stuff mostly walking. Then at 2 days before I had him I went hard core.( One week before due date) I started nipple stimulation and instantly brought on hard contractions every time but tended to go away as soon as I stopped. The next morning I tried sex (which did nothing before)  but I tried nipple stimulation at the same time (tmi) then had hard inconsistent contractions that stuck all day. Well we went out for Chinese food that night ( I was still contracting) I had a big plate of Chinese food and the hot tea. And bam they became regulare and we went to the hospital.  I was 5cm and only thinned 30% they capt me allll night broke my water at 350am and I only pushed twice and he was out. Not sure if any of that stuff really helped (especially the Chinese wives tale) but I know I was desperate to try anything so I thought id share (:

You csn use a breast pump or have your significant other (if around) suck and twist them during sex :)

Thanks for sharing! :) but this might be a dumb question but how do you/what do you do to stimulate your nipples?
