40 weeks and fed up help!!!!!!!
baby number 3

Answer 1

Sexual intercourse - This works in two ways to induce labor. First, female orgasm can bring on contractions. Second, semen contains prostaglandins. Prostaglandins work to help ripe and soften the cervix.

Nipple stimulation - Stimulating the nipples triggers the production of natural oxytocin. Oxytocin contracts the uterus.

Accupressure - Accupressure may be helpful in inducing labor. Some pressure points you can try are the roof of your mouth, the webbing of your fingers between your pointer finger and thumb, and above the ankle about four fingerspaces above is a pressure point.

Stripping the membranes - This can only be done by a health care provider. Your doctor or midwife will seperate the bag of waters from your cervix and this is thought to help encourage labor to start.

Raspberry Leaf Tea - Rasberry leaf tea is not actually known for it's labor inducing properties, but it is believed to be helpful in toning the uterus and helping with labor.

Cinnamin stick tea - Take cinnamin sticks and boil them into a tea and drink. It actually tastes good so even if it doesn't bring on labor it may help you to relax.

Evening primrose oil - Evening primrose oil comes in small capsules similar to vitamin E. It is believed to help soften and ripen the cervix.

Walking - Walking may help to get baby to drop into proper position.

Visualization/relaxation - Relaxation can help with labor induction. Try doing relaxation exercisers. They are also good practice for when labor actually begins.

Pineapple, cumin tea, eggplant parmesan, and spicy foods - are another thing you can try.


Other methods we do not recommend for inducing labor
Castor oil - Castor oil is also used for inducing labor. It tastes horrible! It is likely to make you feel sick and it probably won't work.

Herbs - There are other herbs you can use to induce labor. Without consulting your doctor or midwife we do not recommend the use of herbs.


Hope this helps, good luck!!!

Answer 2

I love this question! I have 6 children and induced my labor successfully 4 times. I am very stubborn!

1st baby) I stimulated my nipples for 3 hours straight. I just rolled them between my fingers. It produced very strong braxton hicks contractions. After I finished, I went to use the bathroom and then my water broke. Wala!

3rd baby) I took a combination of black & blue cohosh in a tincture form. I did this every 3 hours for 3 days and then walked and used nipple stimulation off and on for about 1 hour a day. The last day, I took 4 ounces of castor oil mixed with orange juice. At the end of the 3rd day..... I was admitted and in labor. Wala!

4th baby) I took black cohosh, again, in tincture form under my tongue for about 2 days. On the evening of the second day, I did nipple stimulation for 1 hour and then my water broke. Wala!

5th babies (twins)) I used evening primrose oil for 4 weeks before my labor began. I broke the capsules and applied it directly to my cervix 2 times a day. That REALLY helped with early dilation. I was 5 centimenters for 1 week before I went into real labor! The day before I was admitted in labor, I took black and blue cohosh (again in tincture form) and I walked A LOT.

I hope this helps. If you would like any more information, please feel free to email me. I have heard a lot of stories, opinions and experiences from other women who insist that you cannot induce labor on your own. As you can clearly see, that has not been my experience AT ALL.

You CAN do it!!!!!!

Answer 4

i took castor oil with baby number 3 (a whole bottle) nothing happened i had a hot bath and did squats that helped me. raspberry leaf tea is no good for starting labour. GOOD LUCK

Answer 5

go for a walk. i was 38 weeks prego with # 3 and miserable. I went for a 3 mile walk (slowly) and she came later that night. But if you go for a long walk, take someone with you, and bring a cell phone and some water!

Answer 6

Tell the baby to get with it. Its the hormones released by the baby that trigger your hormones and start labor.

I walked by butt off, mopped the floors, and had crazy sex.

Although, i think sitting on the toilet every day for hours and hours TRYING to poop while a 15 pound uterus is crimping my colon is probably what did me in at the end. Damn pregnancy hormones.

I suggest sitting on the toilet and pushing.

Answer 7

sex it worked with both of mine its not that comfy but hey it was worth it as i went into labour a few hours after lol

Answer 8

40 weeks. you are on time; nothing will start labour before your body is ready; when the apple is ripe, it will fall. Having said that - sex is good; so is swimming; so is spring-cleaning; but you are probably too big and uncomfortable to do any of that ..........so.Bummer.

Answer 9

Go over a rope bridge, 30ft up between trees.

Worked for my first wife having our first son.

Many congratulations for the happy event

Answer 10

Change elevations, higher to lower , then walk alot. This is what caused my sister to go into labor 6 weeks early. I have also heared that Sex (nipple stimulation and sperm) cause you to go into labor when you are close to ready. Good Luck!!
