I've been so worried about being induced so I've tried all the natural induction methods possible - sex, evening primrose oil, spicy food, pineapple, dates, exercise, walking, bouncing on the ball.

Now I'm 7 days away from my induction date and I got so desperate that I tried a teaspoon of castor oil.

I had read all about the side-effects and was fully prepared for the nausea, diarrhea etc.

And NOTHING!

At. All!

If anything I'm more constipated now than I was before.

This little one is definitely not interested in making her way out.

I give up.
