What are you doing to induce labor?

Question

I'm currently 37+6. Was told at my last doctor's appointment that I was 3cm, baby is fully engaged and I'm around 70% effaced. I know I'm still early but I'll be induced in a week if I don't go into labor myself. I've tried spicy food, sex, masturbation, long walks, yoga ball, warm baths, squats. I haven't tried evening primrose oil but I'm not sure how to use it. Any advice?

Answer

I used my breast pump to stimulate my nipples, had sex and put a pillow under me and laid there for a good 10 minutes did that a few days in a row on a Monday and Tuesday. I went into labor early Wednesday morning. Good luck!

Answer

I was past due but yesterday I did the miles circuit and also did nipple stimulation during the second position and that started contractions for me! Baby was born 11 hours later!

Answer

I’m 39 weeks today and I’ve tried nipple stimulation and that caused some contractions but they weren’t consistent enough. I’ve tried sex but probably not as much as I should. Sex isn’t really all that comfortable right now. I’ve been doing the evening primrose oil vaginally since 37 weeks per my midwife’s request. I insert 1000 mg every evening before bed. I was induced with my first at 40 weeks and I didn’t really care for it, I’m trying for a more natural approach this time!

Answer

Almost 39 weeks and I’ve tried all of that. I’m dilated to a 5 and I’m getting induced Thursday so I just give up on going on labor on my own.

Answer

Lots of sex but you really need the man to ejaculate in you since it’s the prostaglandins in semen that help you efface. My husband is having trouble with the positions that I’m comfortable in orgasming…. 
Nipple stimulation. It always gives me a ton of BH contractions but they are gone as almost ass soon as the stimulation stops. 
Spicy foods (just gave me heart burn). 
Lots of walking and exercising but I’ve still be walking, lifting weights, spinning and rowing my entire pregnancy so I don’t think it’s gonna help out me in labor. 
I’m 37 + 6 and my induction is set for 39 +5. I wanted right at 40 but it didn’t work with the schedule since I need to be in the evening to make sure I get my antibiotics for being GBS+.
