Chinese food to Induce labor?

Question

Ok so i am 2 days past my due date, and I understand that you can go 2 weeks over your due date. I am very uncomfortable, and have been dilated to 1cm for almost 2 weeks. Does anyone know whether the myth about chinese food is true? If so what food should I eat? I want my baby to come out and join the family.

Thank you for any responses!

Answer 1

My sister in law was telling me yesterday that when she went overdue she went to a mexican restaurant and asked for the spiciest item on the menu lol, it worked she ate at about 730 I think she said and by 12 midnight she was already in labor. I haven't heard about the chinese food thing yet, but who knows, maybe it will work or you could try ordering the spiciest chinese dish on the menu.

Answer 2

I've never heard that before but my 2nd daughter was born the day after i went out to chinese. she was early though! good luck!! have you tried walking and s*x?  

Answer 3

No sure way to self induce and risky to try

s*x can help due to ejaculate and softening cervix google search do not try anything like castor oil ect. only thing you get is cramps and risk of dehydration

Answer 4

I eat Chinese food all the time. I dont think that is true. i would say brisk walking, lots of s*x and a good spicy meal however those aren't guaranteed either!

Answer 5

There are many myths. Never heard the one about chinese food but pineapple and hot curry are supposed to be good. Good Luck Hun wont be long now
