Trying to start labor naturally?

Question

Is anyone trying to kick start labor without medication? Such as primrose oil, more exercise, or extra sex? If so, what are you doing, how often and how far along are you?

Answer

None of it works. Your body isn't ready.

Answer

Nope. Not stressing about it. Trying to stay active, but resting when my body tells me to. Trying to stay hydrated too! Baby will be here when he/she is ready and I want to keep these last couple of weeks (38 weeks yesterday) as peaceful as possible. The first three months with a newborn are so stressful and hard, I don't want to add to it by working myself up now! 😊

Answer

Ive had sex everyday for the last week even tried on top yesterday, 🙈 at least 4 cups of raspberry leaf tea a day for the last 2 weeks and lots of time on my ball and had nothing exciting yet. :(

Answer

I am taking prime rose oil and the tea pills to get my uterus healthy and everything. I am not having extra sex because I have a very uninterested spouse lol. But, I will be trying to walk up and down steps and doing squats to prepare for birth. But honestly I've been getting so tired lately that I can't keep my eyes opened so I sleep a lot as well, guess its my body preparing itself.

Answer

I'm 39+1 and pretty much been trying everything. EPO, red raspberry leaf tea (although these won't induce labour just help labour once it starts) I have been walking, eating dates, bouncing on birthing ball and doing the labour dance 😂. I can't try sex because the babies father and I split up 6 weeks ago. I might try pineapple but was told you have to eat alot for this to work I won't try castor oil because I don't feel it's worth the risk to the baby. He will come when he wants but it makes me feel better trying these things and keeps me occupied. I saw my midwife yesterday and she thinks I might have him this weekend, I spent all day yesterday with back ache and tightenings, they have fizzled out this morning but I'm hoping I'm heading in the right direction. 😊

Answer

Walking.. I plan on walking this baby out in the next 2-3 weeks.
