Okra Water for a smooth delivery?

Has anyone heard of drinking okra Water starting around 30 weeks to ensure a smooth delivery. I’m on my second pregnancy with a baby girl and I’m due in February. My first pregnancy was great up until my 38 week check up. My fluids were low and I had to be induced that same day. Everything was cool with labor until I stop dilating at 5cm due to a swollen cervix ( the nurses doing a cervical check every hour) “I didn’t know any better” then I had to have an emergency C- Section. I really want things to go naturally this time around. Water break on its own and vaginal delivery. If anyone has some tips please share.

I have never been a fan of okra until my first pregnancy when my mom cooked the okra a blend it for me hours before I went into labor, my baby girl slipped right out.

@Tamar Joseph that seems a lot more tolerable than having to endure 6 plus weeks of drinking that mess 😑

@Tamar Joseph could you get your mom’s recipe? I think we all want our babies to slip right out!!!

@Jenae yeah, no ma’am one day of drinking that slime is all I wanted. By God grace i was in labor for only 8/9 hours had my baby by noon.

@Corinne @Tamar Joseph yes lord. Please can we have that recipe 🙏🏾

Following so I can get that recipe 😅

I didn’t forget you. My mom is sending it to me. 🤣❤️

@Tamar Joseph will send a thank you to your mom ❤️❤️❤️

@Tamar Joseph could you also let me know the recipe 🙏🏾😩

@Tamar Joseph are you able to send to me also? I bet it wasn’t the best tasting thing to drink haha but maybe she made it taste tolerable?

@Corinne @Randi @Jayla @Famis Amis It is much simpler than I thought, the okra has to be fresh not the frozen ones. Cut off the top, add a good amount of water, let it cook down until it’s pretty much breaking apart and extremely slimy pretty much over cook it(not watery but not dry) You can add salt but my mom added maggi seasoning blend it until it is liquefied, pour in the cup and bon appetite!! 🤣🤣 I’m sorry you guys terrible with directions.

If you guys love green smoothies just pretend it is a slimy green smoothie. It went down easy for me it was coming back up during contraction that was a bitch!! Oh man low key having PTSD!!

@Tamar Joseph haha no problem I figured but you added some berries n stuff?

@Tamar Joseph just seeing this post and want to try that recipe (thank you to your and your mama) jw- when am I supposed to drink it? I’m 34 weeks so is this something to do later on like when it’s an any day now sitch orrr..?
