My sister was due last Friday and the doc says he won't induce until this coming Sunday. She is miserable. She has tried eating mexican and having sex, neither have worked. Any other suggestions to make her go into labor? Thanks so much!

She works in a hospital, she is on her feet walking all day. Love the suggestions so far! I will pass them along.

Get her to try rasberry leaf tea and she could also try eating some pineapple. If she is used to eating mexican spices instead get her to try curries or hot indian food. Doing some exercise such as walking and squats sometimes help too. I cant vouch for all of them as yet seeing im 35wks along. But ive had some friends who have had some good results from these.
Get her to try this one too: Boil a cup of water, before allowing to cool add 4 tablespoons of brown sugar. My mother tried this one and went into labour with my brother that night!
Hope one of them works for her - cheers!

i just had my daughter on nov. 12. i was three days past my due date. I was so miserable I tried everything to get her out. nothing worked. that weekend i just got really depressed and gave up trying and sat on my a** and did nothing. it was then that my water broke. now I am so glad that she came when she did because she weighed 7lbs 3 ounces and was perfect andything earlier she would have been smaller. just relax and enjoy because although the end of pregnancy sucks oh so bad the baby will grow up so fast. she is now 1 week and 2 days old and I dont even know where the week went it flew by so fast. just hang in there. and congratulations

She made need to just relax and let her body focus on the baby. Not being silly but most women go into labor when they are trying to sleep so she may to just take a day and lounge around the house and do nothing. This may let her body focus on an overdue baby that needs to come out. Good Luck and I hope things go well for your sister.

The boogers replaced into your mucus plug popping out. at the same time as the finest of the plug comes out it is going to seem as if bloody boogers. keep music of your contractions and how close they're . you've gotten contractions for days in the previous you flow into finished blown exertions. they think about 37 week children to be finished time period see you later as there aren't any complications. once you've more beneficial than 5 contractions in an hour then you actually want to flow again to the wellness middle. it is going to likely be quickly congratulations and good success

Let nature take its course. Most of the things people will try to tell you are myths. Let that precious baby come when its ready. Your body will know when!
