How can i stimulate labour??

Question

My baby girl is due tomorrow, her head has dropped and i have been having 1 or 2 contractions a day but nothing else. My first baby went 2 weeks over and i had to be induced, it was the worst thing that i've ever had to go through, my labour went for 13 hours and the contractions were on top of each other the whole time, i didnt get a rest at all. The doctors dont want to let me go over even a week because i now have a liver condition. I know that s*x can bring on labour but because bub's head has dropped it's too uncomfortable. And bumpy car rides dont work at all. I'd apprecitate ANY suggestions!! thanks for your help!

Answer 1

evening primrose oil

Answer 2

Oh my gosh, i tried everything to get my baby to arrive, she was also two weeks late and i had to be induced.

I tried:

Eating spicy food

Walking (LOTS!!)

Eating fresh pineapple (don't ask!)

s*x (the spoons way is more comfortable!)

Bouncing on my birthing ball

Hot Bath

Drinking Raspberry Leaf Tea (this is also supposed to help 2nd stage labour)

I even went to a chinese herbalist who gave me a weird burning stick that smelt awful.

You'll be glad to know that none of these worked for me! I think baby will come when they want and when they're ready! Little Monkey's!!

Have you tried nipple stimulation?  I've heard this works for a lot of moms.  Sometimes it just takes time.  Maybe the baby just isn't ready yet.  Good luck  :)
