im due in 3 weeks and im 2 cent dilated... and miserable how can i make myself go into labor?

Question

i have tried the sex thing and it didnt work, i wont try castor oil because i heard the outcomes are awful someone help!

Answer 1

lol, my doc told me this. go home, have *vigorous* sex, eat pizza or spicy foods, drink a beer or small glass of wine, (only one.) and have more vigorous sex. also, walking helps. a couple more things that have been shown to help: i did this with my last one: drink razberry leaf tea. not razberry tea, razberry LEAF tea. doesnt taste wonderful. (not that bad either though.) this does two things, it helps tone the uterus in preperation for childbirth, and also can help induce labor if youre close to your due date. my doctor said its perfectly safe and worth a try. i drank it twice a day for a few days, and what do you know, out she came. also, play with yourself. i know it sounds gross, and i dont know if you do this, but studies have shown that orgasms are alot stronger when a woman plays with herself versus when they have sex with their partner. and finally, play with your nipples. playing with your nipples releases oxytocin, which stimulates contractions. thats why they tell you to breast feed your baby immediately after birth, because it helps expell the placenta faster and tones the uterus. congats, and good luck.

Answer 2

When i was 38 weeks pregnant i was 3cm dilated for 2 weeks and i was SOOOO uncomfortable so i know exactly how you feel! When i came home from the midwife appt and they were going to make me wait another 3 weeks before inducing me i went home in tears and did exactly what you just did and asked the question... that evening around 9pm i drank 2tbsp castor oil with orange juice, it was AWFUL and you need to make sure you drink ALOT of water after it and within an hour or two you will need to empty your bowel (means u wont when u give birth too!) then for me i went into labour at 3am! So it took 7 hours for this to work for me and i was rapt! Good luck!

Answer 3

well I was 2 to three centimeters when I turned 9 months and I had some very crazy sex I swear to God 6 days later I went into labor I had my daughter feb 25th 2006 she was 6lbs 3 oz she is 9 months old now and a handful I have a page on myspace you can search for Letitia Crawford i have pictures of her on there

Answer 4

Walk.

But try to hang in there if you can. I'm not trying to scare you but these last weeks are really important for you child's digestive health. Their digestive system is the last to mature and every day is new growth for their little bodies.

My son was only 2 weeks early and we dealt with so many digestive issues: reflux, spitup, gas, constipation, food allergies, etc... (and not just normal stuff - he had to be medicated for almost every issue).

I know you're miserable, I was there. But give him/her the best chance right now. You're not going into labor for a reason.

Answer 5

Walking and Sex!!

And it is really hard to make your self to go into labor... but you can try.. and if your dr is ok with it have him strip your membrane.. That also may help.. it didn't work for me tho..

Answer 6

walk and walk some more. go out and walk up and down your block. baby will come when ready though. keep having sex and get hom to give you an orgasm. bumpy car rides dont do the driving in case your water should break

Answer 7

Sit in a tub of hot water as hot as you can stand it for as long as you can..you might start to contract...get out then in another hour or two do it again and I promise you, you will be ready..congratulations and good luck to you and your new bundle of joy...

Answer 8

I felt the same way. Sex worked for me, but make sure you orgasm, preferably more than once, and make sure your husband ejaculates inside of you, sperm softens the cervix. Also walking, lots of walking.

Answer 9

walk, walk, walk walk! Or I went into labor after eating turkey. Good Luck
