lol thank youuu
Don’t take my word on this, but I once heard that sex or any type of sexual stimulation helps…again I’m not sure but I don’t think it would hurt. My thought is that activating your system might waken some things up and get things going.
Acupuncture worked for us! We did 2 sessions and i went into labor finally the day after the 2nd session. They did tell me it often takes 2-3 sessions. Good luck mamma!
Semen (from sex) softens the cervix. So.....
@Lauren what’s that and thank you
I tried every trick in the book to try and induce labor. Dates, red raspberry leaf tea, lots of walks, pineapple, curb walking, I even tried acupuncture and nothing worked for me. It’s mostly myth to be honest. Staying active and moving around is probably your best bet!
