Please dont tell me to just wait until the baby is ready. Some people the baby isnt ready on its own. They need help. I have waited long enough..Just answer the question please.

Ask your doctor about inducing. My sister-in-law had a veeeery uncomfortable pregnancy towards the end with her son, and her doctor scheduled her to induce labor.
I personally do not know much about red raspberry leaf tea, but I would recommend speaking more to your doc about. Walking might do the trick to jump start your labor!
Best of luck, and congrats!!!

That sucks, I'm sooooo sorry! I never tried red raspberry leaf tea. But I've heard that taking longgg walks help,it worked for my first two. And I've also been told that having sex can help, but I was just to big to even be comfortable to do that. I hope you have your baby soon.

41 weeks! OMG you need to talk to your doctor about inducing. I was induced 4 days after my due date and my daughter was 9 lbs 5 oz. I had sex like crazy those last few weeks and prenatal massages to help induce and nothing worked. I think tea is safe but don't do any of those other crazy things. I really think you should ask your doctor to strip your membranes. Also go get a prenatal massage and ask them to touch your pressure points!

Never tried that- I didn't know that helped! I took Evening Primrose oil vitmains. I was 2 weeks late and took that, and started having contractions that night. But my doctor also swiped or scrapped.. (dont remember) my cervix.. so that might have helped too- either way you should talk to your doc first. They know you and your pregnancy best. And you should have been induced by now anyway.

I have not personally tried that, but I was two weeks late with my son and I took cod liver oil in a shot form, I went into labor that night.

That's pretty overdue. I think you should go into an Ob/Gyn and start talking about induced labor options; another reccomendation is to have sex as sometimes that can trigger it, but it could be rather uncomfortable at your stage in pregnancy.

I did, I was 2 weeks over, and had no pain during labour(4hrs) with no drugs. Have at least 3 cups a day, may not bring you on but may make it easier
