I am ready to have this baby, or at least try to ready my cirvix/ body to go soon!
Did you try any non-medical induction meathods and how did they work??
*Please, I have heard the whole "baby will come when it's ready" discussion. All I am asking is what has worked or not worked for people who have tried. If you can't answer that question, please do not answer at all. Thanks :-)
Well what worked for me was mowing our half acre back lawn with our little gas mower and then sex that evening..DH said he felt my DD head drop when we were having sex and it freaked him out...that followed a 53 min labor once contractions started 2 hours later!..
tried all of the except castor oil. i did nipple stimulation, walking, sex, evening primrose oil, raspberry tea, pineapple, spicy food, bouncing on birth ball, yoga, pressure points, you name it i tried it. for THREE WEEKS!! i ended up being induced at the hospital at 3 days overdue. oh and i was 3 cm dilated the whole time too, even though i was already progressing on my own, nothing would help!! so they saying is true no matter how annoying it is, the baby will come when its ready unless you go to the hospital and force it out (which doesnt even work half of the time). if someone claims something worked for them, then it was just a coincidence and they were very lucky!!
SEX is the answer. My husband & I had sex the night my son was born. I began having contractions about 30 min later.
sex, sex sex!!! What got baby in there will get him out. Worked for us!

I swear by walking around at Walmart. The night before 2 out of 3 of my kids I was walking around at Walmart.
i walked a lot, ate spicey foods and had a lot of sex with dd2... i was four weeks early but my midwife said the baby was big and we had to get her out for her own well being... it seemed to work, i had contractions, though irregular and was two or three cm dilated when i went in... nothing seemed to wanna get my dd1 out... i was always on my feet (i worked til the day i had her) and really didn't spend much time with my ex husband because we worked opposite schedules... but yeah, she was a week late and a good stripping from the doc and a long walk thru target getting last minute baby gear did the trick... but i think it was more the stripping lol
