Ways to induce labor...38 weeks?

Question

Hi everyone, I am 38 weeks today and I am being induced next Friday if I don't go into labor before then. Well I want to avoid being induced (kinda...I want to meet my baby really bad!) but I want to try and bring on labor before then...What if anything worked for you?

Answer 1

- s*x, if you water hasn't broken

- castor oil

- e***a

- nipple stimulation (but they say to do this in the presence of a medical facility)

- walking

- yoga



... good luck!

Answer 2

Answer 3

Being induced blows because it's intense labor right away, but then again, there's not really a nice way to do any of it.  I would have s*x, walk a lot, tell your baby to hurry up, and if you do have to be induced, get an epidural as soon as you can.

Answer 4

try walking every  night and see if it works

Answer 5

s*x

nipple stimulation

certain herbs

castor oil

accupressure

this website explains in detail each of these.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Start walking, cleaning, and intermix that with warm baths......

They were going to induce me when I was 36 weeks and I refused, so I started walking for 6 hours, every hour getting into the bath, and 4 hours before my scheduled induction my water broke....not sure if it was luck or not...but I would recommend walking.

Answer 7
