Trust me on this one.....nothing works except time!!!! On my fourth pregnancy I was 10 days overdue. I tried all old wives remedies, incl. taking castor oil!!!!! UGH! The only thing that will truly work is walking and waiting. Lots of walking and waiting. I know how hard the last few weeks can be, but it will all be over soon. All I can really tell you is walking and if her doctor permits, have her membranes stripped. This works sometimes. Might have to have them stripped twice. It is painful, but it can work.
Good luck to your friend!

i imagine acquaintances and resale shops stands out as the answer on your buddy. once you've different acquaintances which have small toddlers perhaps they're going to be prepared to donate lots of the products this female needs for her new toddler. toddler gained't comprehend that the garments, crib, vehicle seat, etc. are not clean, so do not problem about making new purchases. think about even if she has accessible get entry to to a washer and dryer and make purchases to that end. If she has a washer and dryer, or her mom has them in her residing house, then clothing purchases will be kept to a minimum. making positive the toddler has warmth clothing (i'm in Texas, yet i comprehend Ohio receives a lot less warm) and bedding is a significant subject at present. the toddler can sleep in a playpen as a replace of crib, if favor be. WIC will look after truly some the toddler's needs, yet you should help by making positive she has a great number of deepest hygiene products and regardless of else is critical to save the toddler, and herself, tender and sparkling. a great number of toddlers were born into poverty and survived o.k.. at the same time as common experience is used, human beings can proceed to exist with little or no. i'm positive your buddy will be superb and study some helpful life training by this journey. reliable success to you both. Edit: yet another idea that contains thoughts is your section church homes or different charitable businesses. If both of you, or yet another buddy is linked with a church, you would ask for help from them. once you've a buddy that works for a community charity, they'd be in a position to assist. As I said earlier, we may be able to proceed to exist on little or no when we placed our minds to it. Make a itemizing of issues that are truly mandatory, no longer issues that are wanted, and observe if the needs are truly as dire as they look. perhaps it is going to ease your thoughts a touch.........

Make her a big meal. My Aunt had both her kids after a family turkey dinner we always say its something in the stuffing.(the only 2 spices in my grandmas stuffing are celery salt and bay leaves)
Other than that I went shopping from about noon until 6 pm with no break except a foot long hot dog in the car on the way to walmart at about 5:30 pm.. I never did get to go to walmart that day my daughter was born at 7:29pm

I've had 6 children. I've tried it all. Nothing works- the baby will come when he's ready. Many of those old wives tales will do nothing more than make you sore or sick when you do go into labor.

yeah she shoueldn't take anything......
tell her to keep walking it will put pressure on her cerivx cause it to thin and her to get contractions.
also this may sound wierd, but if she can have an orgasm, it will help to start contractions and the whole labor procests.
one last thing anything that will stimulate her nipples, it will cause her uterus to contract
thise are probably the best things....
also know that her dr wont let her carry to far after her due date because the baby can get too big and cause delivery complications.
Good Luck!
