i'm 39 weeks and lost my mucus plug already. Has anyone here tried the tea? What were your experiences? How fast did it help to induce labor??
Thanks for your help!

Sexual intercourse induces labor

I was 12 days overdue with my first baby and drank lots of black cohosh tea in those 2 weeks with no results also having lost my mucus plug. The tea tastes horrible! I would not really recommend messing with herbs or anything like that without the guidance of an herbalist or midwife. Having been induced twice my experience is that if the baby is ready to come it will and if not you are probably out of luck! Look up the pressure points on the body for inducing labor or ask a massage therapist or massage doula - that is probably a better alternative to herbs. Also, you can ask you dr. at your next appointment to "strip your membranes" as this often helps with the onset of labor. Good luck - i am right behind you at 37 weeks w/ my 3rd and hoping to go without pitocin this time!!

I took the black kuhosh extract drops along with licorce drops and it didnt make me induce but it did make the delivery very fast after my water broke. My water broke at 9:30am they checked me at 12:00 for dilation and i was a 3 and my nurse and doctor came in at 12:45 and checked me and I was an 8 they gave me the epidural at 1pm and my daughter was born at 1:17pm. The epidural was only in my system soon enough for the last push and 15 minutes later I was walking to the bathroom with little help. Very minor cut by the doctor and I was discharged the next day with little pain.
My daughter is now 8 days old and I only have very minor bleeding and I feel great!! I would stand behind the afterwards of the drops effect but it didn't work for me to actual induce!!
Good luck!!

Um... I have heard that black Cohosh can cause stroke and heart failure, so I would personally steer clear of that!
Hun, if you want that baby to come now.... get moving: go for a walk, scrub your floors, or even more fun, take your man to the bed room for a little romp in the hay!!!

Hi - I was 40 weeks and three days - I tried Castor Oil. Double the dose. Trust me it worked for me and for the person who told me to try it!

Haven't heard of that. A midwife I know swears by ginger.
You sound pretty desparate though, and that's always a good sign :)
Hope you have a pre New Year Baby!

Your baby will come when it is good and ready!! The tea did not help me! You could try intercourse and walking to help things along but when that baby is ready, he/she will let you know!!
