do not use cod liver oil.. can pass through to baby and make baby poo while still inside. My sister used it.
All of mine have been early. Raspberry leaf tea is good.. mixed with golden seal but need a proper herbalist to prescribe golden seal while pregnant.
I found lots of orgasms brought on strong practise contractions. |

"She's due tomorrow but feeling very fed up now
Ah you've got at least 2 more weeks to wait then cos they won't induce before then lol "
they will if you make a good case. I was induced at 37 weeks... Basically due to me being under stress and worried after previous problems. |

They say having diarrhea can bring on labour as the contractions of the bowel stimulate the uterus, so I've often wondered if that's where the curries and fresh pineapple idea comes from -eat a lot of those and your stomach probably isn't going to be terribly happy! |

There are always exceptions bit if there are no concerns then they tend to let nature take their course. |

Local policy will dictate when she can be induced for post dates most places are term plus twelve.
Walking, stairs, keeping active and rocking on a birthing ball. Try not to slouch as this can encourge an OP position (back to back) so a good posture and upright as often as posiple will assist in a good contact between the presenting part and the cervix.
Please dont drink any oil !
There's an aromatherapy blend that can be added to baths but I'm not a registered aromathapist so can't really advise and raspberry leaf tea is good
Ask your community midwife for a membrane sweep,

A sweep isn't the nicest procedure, the point is to seperate the membranes from the cervix and if you haven't deign to dilate yet, your cervix will be quite posterior and thick and difficult to manipulate.
A fist placed under your lower back can make the Cervix easier to find and so less uncomfortable. Also take some paracetamol an hour before your appointment. |

Try using clary sage oil in bath,massage or to scent the room. Strongly advise only if after due date as been told can make u go into labour quickly but as others say bubs will spear when fully cooked. Hope all goes well xx |

"Oh and lots of sperm.. You have your own prostaglandins that will help and you'll encourage her oxytocin levels to rise.. All good things
"
Don't you need some ridiculous amount though? Talking litres of the stuff? |

Lol not at all. You didn't need much to start the whole process off and the same applies. It's a gentle tip in hormone balance that encourages a sympathetic response |

But you said "lots of sperm" yourself in the comment I quoted.
A quick google shows that nearly all this induction advice is just being passed around on forums with almost no medical evidence that it works. Hell half the sites recommending sperm advise you to swallow it... The only link I could find relating to medical testing was an nbc news story on a test done in the far east that showed no evidence of sperm having any effect. |

I think lots of sperm was meant as turn of phrase not a measurement. Most of the suggestions are prob old wives tales and work based on if baby is ready |

Make plans you want to stick to, like visiting a friend of relative you haven't seen for a while that's what worked for me, as children love to spoil plans and you will go into labour lol.
Although if that doesn't work hope your sweep will x |

A full-term pregnancy is classed as one between 37-42 weeks. The 'date' you have been given as your due date is simply a guess.
Induction of labour is a risky thing and should not be undertaken lightly and remember that you have a choice in any and all decisions. If you don't want a sweep, don't have one. The research supports multiple sweeps anyway, not just one.

Yes it is. I asked my midwife and so did my sister and they both said its because it gives you an upset stomach!! Which to be honest is the last thing id want when trying to push a baby out.
Sperm will work but only if your cervix is ready which yours mustn't be if you've been at it and nothing's happening.
You must be very uncomfortable In this heat my sister had her baby just Friday and she was miserable.
Hope things get going for you soon x |

Sorry....lots of sperm was just a turn of phrase.
There's lots of evidence to suggest prostaglandins encourage contractions and cervical dilatation including several cochane reviews.
These same prostaglandins as foud in sperm, are artificially reproduced in the pessarys that are used to induce labour only in a much concentrated form.
To the OP, Hope everything is going well and best of luck xx |
