I’m full term and my doctor gave me the go ahead to try inducing labor at home. Everything I’ve tried- I’ve had cleared through him- so don’t come at me Karen! But I’m OUT of ideas! Any and all ideas welcome. Labor is stalled at 3.5 cm 50% and -2 station.

1. Ate a big spicy meal at Texas de Brazil

2. Pregnancy yoga, Zumba, and walking

3. 3c of raspberry leaf tea & 3c pineapple juice a day

4. Labor cookies

5. 1000mg primrose oil orally, 2000 mg vaginally daily

6. Lots of nesting and staying hydrated!

7. Sex & other methods to reach orgasm ;)

8. 1/2 tbsp of castor oil mixed with PB on toast- started contractions but they fizzled out. Got the ok to do a full tbsp and it didn’t work either.

9. A warm bath every night to relax with Epsom salts and a 2 hour nap daily with my toddler.

It seems like I go into labor and I’ll have regular contractions for hours and then they just stop. It’s a little frustrating lol
