Fed up! Natural Labour induction tips?
So I was booked in this Tuesday just gone for induction, but when I get there they said my cervix was already open so didn’t need the whole process but they can’t pop my waters until there’s a bed available.
Still no bed available to the point they are trying trusts quite a distance from me.
They said my best bet is if my waters go naturally as they would then have to find me somewhere. I’ve got a pregnancy ball and raspberry tea. Does anyone have any recommendations that’s worked? Spicy food? Sex?
Any advice welcome I’m so tired fed up 😴

Curb walking and nipple stimulation xx
oh I’ve not heard of curb walking! Off for a walk I go 😂. Thank you 🥰 xx
Lots of walking, sex (sperm helps the cervix to soften I think), go for a pedicure, eat something spicy and RELAX! Try not to think of inducing to much. The day I stopped even trying with my last I went into labour! Good luck 🥰
I’ve been struggling with walking because I get a few meters and I need a wee 😵💫!! I think that’s my problem I’m not relaxed I’m all hept up because I thought we’d have the baby here by now ☹️. I just need to take it out of my mind and see how we get on. Thank you 😊🥰 xx
it’s an excuse for a spa day 👀🤣
Relax!! Oxytocin is key for going into Labour
Walk walk walk! I done lots of walking the day my waters went and had a nice warm bath and waters went in the bath. Clary sage oil, rub a few drops on your bump or inhale. Sex, nipple stimulation xx
thank you! I will try this, I have definitely been lax on the walking 😬!! Xx
My midwife recommended sex. Prostaglandins in the sperm, oxytocin from the cuddles, get the nipples involved too!
