Labor Induction

FTM and i’m officially 41 weeks, I had my appointment today and they scheduled me for induction next week (totally understandable) Does anyone have anything that helped them go into labor naturally? I’ve been pumping, walking, bouncing, seems like everything and nothing is helping. I can’t help but feel defeated. I really wanted to avoid being induced :/

You can look up taking castor oil. Some people suggest it and some people don’t. But I’d do your own research on whether you are comfortable with it or not.

Do butterfly exercise

That gives u natura labour

Might sound crazy but I had the Starbucks labour drink and then I had sex and I started to go into labour

Have you gotten a sweep? I had my sweep at 40 wks and went into labor that night

Castor oil works

Sex, apparently semen has some property that support inductions.

I’ve heard great things about acupuncture.

I see comments about castor oil please do your research before trying it to each there own

Labour inducing tricks!

I’m 39 weeks and 2 days and I need natural ways to get this baby out. I’ve tried walking, exercising, being intimate, doing things I enjoy (to release oxytocin), raspberry tea, dates (on and off as I really don’t like them), ball exercises, colostrum, and I think that’s it so far. Any other tricks I’m not currently trying? Or any of the above that worked for you that I could try more of. I’m willing to try anything that’s safe at this point!

16 week midwife appointment

I had my 16 week midwife appointment when i was 18 weeks. I just felt like it was a waste of time, she checked my BP and that was it. Said she’ll next see me at around 24 weeks. We didn’t get to listen to the heartbeat or anything

Xonvea

Ladies I need some reassurance, I’m absolutely in the trenches at the minute with sickness and nausea ALL day, I don’t get any rest bite. I’ve been on xonvea for 3 days and it’s not working I still can’t get off the sofa. Did it kick in after a while for some people? 6+2 here
