Well, my hospital induction is set for 4 days from now (for medical reasons) and I've officially tried all that I'm willing to try to start labor on my own. So far I'm still pregnant and contractions have not yet become regular or painful enough to worry about.

Things I've tried:

• Chiropractic work

• Red Rasberry Tea + Pregnancy Tea(with added Gentle Pregnancy supplement with red rasberry extract)

• Evening Primrose Oil 2000/day

• Acupressure for 4 days

• Professional prenatal massage + acupressure

• Clary Sage and Jasmine Absolute applied directly, diluted in oil and massaged, added to my bath and diffused in my room

• Hot bath with the above essential oils, Epsom salts, and eucalyptus

• Acupuncture specifically for induction (7hrs ago now)

• Bouncing on exercise ball

• Lunges and squats

• Labor dance

• Spicy foods

• Apple Cider Vinegar

and possibly more that I can't think of right now... so at this point, my little buddy is just gonna come when he is ready. I've given all the prompts to try to have a natural labor starting at home.

Here's hoping I still get lucky before artificial drugs 🤞🤞🤞

Wish me luck!!! 🍀🍀🍀

And if anyone has any other suggestions, except castor oil, let me know!!!
