im 37 weeks today and next week im scheduled to have a c section my OB said that if im not in labor then hes not going to induce me hes just going to go in and do it i guess you don’t have to be in labor to have a c section. but i feel as if im missing out on the whole child birth due to the c section and i don’t want to miss out on the contractions too. he said i can do home remedy’s as long as i feel comfortable but im not dilated im only 70% efface. i cant have sex and i really cant walk anywhere except around the house. is there anything i can do to get things going? like ive heard pressure points or something and Castro oil but then ive heard that’s bad is there anything i can make at home and not have to buy, someone told me milk and butter (eww) but if it works ill try it. really anything will help o also ive heard yoga positions help idk what ones but ive heard that.
O and the reason I’m having a c section is because the baby is breech and I have a bicornuate uterus so they cant turn him and the reason I’m have a c section kind of early (38 weeks) is because I have low amotice fluid not low enough to take him out today but low enough that he’s scared to leave him in there much longer.

I am eight days away from my due date, but I am incredibly uncomfortable, and would like to try to self-induce a few days early. I have done some research on the subject, but I would like to know some of the things that worked for others.

Some of the things that I have looked into are: using blue/black cohosh, using castor oil, walking, having sex, and drinking raspberry tea. Did any of these things work for you? Would you recommend AGAINST any of these? Did you try something that is not listed?

Please don’t tell me that the baby will come when she is good and ready to, because my son was eleven days late, and I still wasn’t as uncomfortable then as I am now. Thanks!
While I appreciate some of the obvious councern for the welfare of my baby, save your rude comments for someone else. I have been in constant pain and discomfort for over a month now, and I am simply looking at possible things I can do. I would never do anything to harm my child. Thanks to everyone who have at least tried to be constructive in their advice and/or criticism.

Anyone ever try it to induce labor? I am having mild contractions for over a week now and thought about speeding up the process with acupressure.

I am 38 weeks and dieing. I am trying to find some safe ways to help bring on labor. I have tried a lot. I am not interested in trying to take anything orally I tried castor oil and never again in my life. I am more looking into some kind of exercises that are safe. I have been walking a lot. If you guys have anything exercise wise that has put you into labor please let me know. I don’t wanna hear just wait. If you don’t have any ideas don’t bother posting. if you do have some ways thanks soooooooooooo much.

Doctors are wanting to induce at 38 -38. 5 weeks. I want to try it on my own naturally. Does anyone know anything about "black cohosh" or "red rassberry leaf tea"? I’ve read mixed things on them both so i’m a bit confused. Anyone have first hand experiences with either of them?
**help!!!!!***

My sister is 8 months and 3 weeks pregnant and she really wants to have her baby now. Please can you give me some ways to induce labour
The thing is that she doesn’t want to wait and the midwife has advised her not to wait because of some problems my mum had (two children passing away just after birth). So she doesn’t want her to wait until after her due date.

hi all.
Did anyone try evening primrose oil to ripen the cervix? If so what dose did you take and from how many weeks? Also was it successful?
I would like to add that i am not trying to induce labor now (I’m only 35 weeks) But have been told i may need to be induced at 38-39 weeks, so would like to get my body ready for this. I have an appointment with my midwife tomorrow to discuss this, but want to hear other peoples views.

I’ve heard alot about nipple stimulation for labor,
How many times do you do it for, How long at a time, And How just rub the nipple, massage?
Anybody have a sucessful story?
Thanks (:

Okay..so after going into labor to having it stop on me.. ive been trying to figure out ways to get things up and going again. theres many old wives tails..

in desperation ive bought black cohosh and evening primose oil and ive been searching everywhere for raspberry leaf but had no luck in finding it.Now that i have the Black Cohosh and evening primose oil.. im kind of scared to take it so i put it on hold

any information about that would be greatly appreciated.

Secondly id love to try the nipple stimulation or the acupressure..so if youve tried it and successfully went into labor..can you tell me how to do it.. the process i mean.

Sex is being done every day.. nothing as of yet except a few contractions that eventually stop

have you got any other tips or tricks into getting this thing started??

Please..if you were successful in inducing at home..Please tell me how you did it..How far along you were.. and how long it took

thanks guys

I am currently dilated to 3, and want to know some naturally ways to speed up the process
