What ended up happening??? I've tried, sex, some nipple stimulation, red raspberry leaf tea 3x a day, evening primrose oil capsules both orally & vaginally, & 2 oz of castor oil as per my midwife. It didn't even work as a laxative !!!! I know many women have failed out there as well. Just wonder how long after trying all this nonsense was ur baby actually born!!!???

I find it funny how ppl think they know what's safe & what isn't. If I must state again... I am following all suggestions as per my midwife...and if u look at my past questions, u'll know how much research was done even before taking her advice as a physician!!!! My babie's health comes 1st.

what does your husband think about giving up sex? semen is great for softening the cervix, it's designed to do that so it can get passed and into the uterus to get you pregnant. maybe you're just not getting enough in there, or not frequently enough? maybe you should ask your husband to invite some of his buddies over to help out?

FAILING TOO!!! I am 38 weeks now & For the past 3 weeks (or more) I've been doing the same thing - sex, razberry tea, evenening primrose both ways, LOTS of walking, sitting on the birthing ball for long periods of time, and I have been the same my last 3 checkups (1cm dilated / -2 station / cervix still thick). I havent tried castor oil cuz It scares me a little. All I know is I have tried just about everything & Nada-zero-zilch NOTHING is happening. So I'm giving up the sex (cuz I cant get orgasm out of it at this staget - so what's the point LOL), No more razberry tea cuz it's gross. I'll stick with the walking & primrose because those are easy. Good luck!

You can get matters competent lightly and clearly with Evening Primrose Oil and intercourse. Anything extra radical than that rather is not well until you will have a clinical motive to get the child born earlier than she or he is competent. Home induction includes an identical phases of dangers to clinical induction in order that you realize. And in case your cervix is not ripe (delicate and skinny) such a lot induction approaches may not paintings good. Castor oil can intent painful diarreah and would make the child move meconium within the womb too, however the dosage on that for induction is 2oz then four hours later two ouncesmore, combined in orange juice. Have your general practitioner strip your membranes to begin matters up semi lightly. Talk for your general practitioner approximately different induction choices or the likelihood of simply ready if you do not wish the Pit. There are insertion prostaglandins like Cervidil than is usually a bit gentler and be eliminated as soon as exertions begins, nonetheless has dangers however it's an alternative.

I walked for a lond time and made sure I was on my feet for a long time so I cooked a bunch of cookies and a huge dinner so I'd constantly be up checking on it and junk. I also drank the raspberry tea the day before but mainly it was walking and staying on my feet and I went into labor the next day at 38 weeks.

none of those worked for me either..although i didnt try as many things as you did. I walked a lot. I was already 4 cm dilated when I was 36 weeks pregnant and my son was born only 3 days before my due date...the baby will come out when he or she is ready!! I know the wait at the end it horrible but looks like youll have to wait a little while longer. Best of luck!!!

If your body isn't ready, nothing will work.
Try to relax and enjoy the last days of your pregnancy instead of frustrating yourself by trying to force labor before your body and you baby are ready for it to come.
