Red Raspberry leaf tea. You could try eating 6 dates a day but I think that one is more helpful if you start at 36 weeks. It can't hurt to start though! Good luck and congratulations!

I haven't tried dates because they taste so gross but definitely just need to suck it up. lol.
I am drinking 3 cups of red raspberry a day

Thank you ā¤ļø

Start drinking raspberry tea. I had a picture of it in my refrigerator and I would drink it all day long. I would also jump rope for about five minutes a day or take a short job. Made my baby come he was determined and never come out. I gave birth to him at 42 weeks after a jogging session.

There's a tea made by biklibidia.com, not really advertised because of how people feel about inducing labor, that works very well.

I went to a 4 store mall near by and walked the whole thing that next morning my daughter gave me no time and I had delivered her at home. The day prior I went to my on appt and they said nothing and I was all good.

I may need to try that.
I pumped today and I hav been contracting. I'm hoping they continue.
I am 1cm dilated and 80% effaced. I'm pretty sure I have been in prodromal labor for

I got a pedicure! My nail tech knew exactly which pressure points to hit on my feet and I was in labor within 24 hours

Avatar

did you tell her you were trying to induce labor?

Avatar

I completely understand not liking dates! They were too sweet but I was so scared of needing to be induced so I sucked it up lol. I started at 36 weeks and delivered at 38 weeks exactly. Water broke on its own and contractions started about 2hrs later. I was in labor for a total of 18 hours but I think it was just because she would not turn to face my backside

I am going to pick some up tomorrow and see if it does the trick.
I believe his spine is facing my back.

It's normal at 38 weeks to be facing that way but look up spinning babies and find different exercises to encourage him to rotate into the optimal position. I was lucky I was able to push her out since she was was only 5lbs 8ozs. But I did have to push for 2hrs because she couldn't turn. A lot of times babies are able to rotate during labor with lots of movement from mom though! I hope the dates help you! You can even mix them in smoothies to try and mask the flavor!

my chiropractor and ob told me babies usually turn when getting ready to exit during labor.
My 2nd daughter came out sunny side up and messed up my pubic bone so I'm hoping he gets into the correct position.
Spinning babies is my best friend I have been doing that since he was Breeched at 34 weeks.

Thank you.. I will try everything and anything except castor oil. lol

Avatar

You're already on your way then! Spinning babies has helped me help so many mamas get there babies here as an L&D nurse! We love it!...and thank you for avoiding the castor oil! Lol praying your labor starts soon and progresses smoothly and you have a safe and healthy delivery!

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
