Any experiences with castor oil, raspberry leaf tea, cumin tea and primrose oil?

Question

I'm 38 weeks and was just wondering if you tried any of it that worked so you wouldn't have to get induced???

Answer

Here comes the storm on castor oil lol 😂😂 there’s so much for/against that this will definitely cause a stir x

Answer

My sister used prim rose oil vaginally and worked amazing for her. I think she started about week 37

Answer

Once I hit 37 weeks, I told myself every day that “today’s the day!” Had sex doggy style and then my water broke on 37+2.

Answer

I used red raspberry leaf tea my whole third trimester; it doesn’t induce labor but helps tone your uterus for pushing (or at least that’s what’s thought). I also took evening promise oil orally (I tried vaginally but the way it made my discharge smell made me want to vomit). Similarly, EPO wont put you into labor but may help thin the cervix. I’ve never heard of cumin tea, so I didn’t do that.
However please, please, please do not use castor oil. It absolutely is not safe for your child or you. It may start labor but can easily kill your in the process. It is not worth the risk. Try all the hokey anecdotes to start labor you want, except this one.

Answer

I tried midwifes brew, got painful contractions but it went away after hours. Raspberry leaf tea does nothing to do, it just prepares your uterus for labour, I've been trying cumin tea for a week now, 2 cups a day, but still nothing, I've been trying primrose oil orally and vaginally since yesterday so will be updating!
