Would you ever try to induce labor by drinking midwifes brew?

Question

Answer

Absolutely DON'T do this! My midwife said to do this and it almost killed him! He had a pooped in my belly and when he came out he was limp and blue not breathing my doctor told my mom and boyfriend (now my husband) to quickly turn my head so I couldn't see him. They said he was possibly already gone from swallowing so much. They had to do CPR on him and after 10min of doing everything they could the Lord brought him back to us. Its something I have never touched again with any of my pregnancies. This poison is deadly for baby. And can cause horrible stomach aches for you. And those that say "Girl I did this and my baby is fine!" That's because they got very extremely lucky. I did this with my 1st born at 17 wish I hadn't. He'll be 21 in October with a baby of his own due any day. A bad lesson learned. Its Russian roulette don't!

Answer

No. I was miserable the last few weeks but I’d never put my childs life at risk over being uncomfortable or for being “tired” of being pregnant

Answer

The baby will come out eventually, putting its life at risk for a few days early isnt worth it.

Answer

After reading it has castor oil hell no. I did red raspberry leaf tea and evening primrose oil after getting approval from my OB. As long as nothing has changed it’s my plan this time around too!

Answer

Nope, I’ve heard it contains castor oil and I wouldn’t risk my baby’s life just because I’m getting impatient 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

What’s midwifes brew?

Answer

this thing is full of midwifes brew... 😂 it has a small amount of castor oil in it, so it wouldn't harm your baby, if you do it the right way your baby will be fine, but I wouldn't risk it as it gives you a very bad painful contractions, you might have diarrhoea and vomit, so before you take it, just think about it... If you could handle it
