Natural induction ideas..? Help!

Question

Hey mommas! So I'm 38 weeks today but baby is measuring past 40 weeks and I've had issues with my last being so big she broke my tailbone on the way out and I have 3 children so I cant deal with that hot ass mess again lol. I've tried sex, walking and walking and walking, bouncing on my ball, moving furniture, massages, and currently drinking raspberry leaf tea and chamomile tea, etc.. if anyone has any other ideas PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer

Just a heads up - red raspberry leaf tea does not induce or cause contractions. It’s great for uterine health. It helps strengthen the uterus so that contractions are effective during actual labor. It also helps regulate hormones. You get the best benefits from long term use. I’ve been drinking it since trying to conceive so for about 7 years. I drank it all throughout my last pregnancy and all throughout this one as well (36 weeks). My first birth was uncomplicated, unmedicated 14 hrs, pushed for maybe 20 min/6 pushes. My contractions were very effective. Drinking at the very end of pregnancy isn’t going to do anything. Things like walking, squats and bouncing on a yoga ball are all great excercises but will only really progress you if you are already in labor. For pineapple to remotely do anything you’d have to eat like 12 pineapples core and all. Sex could work - orgasms release oxytocin that could potentially bring on contractions and sperm has prostaglandins in it that can soften your cervix over time. Nipple stimulation could also work but if done too soon could bring on false labor. So basically go for some walks, have sex, stay hydrated and try to enjoy the last bit of your pregnancy. Remember that due dates are estimates not expiration dates 💕

Answer

Pineapple core, hibiscus tea...
That’s all I can think of that’s not already on your list 😂 
I’m doing the same but nothing’s happening
