Things I have tried for labor!!
Awake at 5:24 am on my due date lol!!! Thought I would share some of the things I have tried this pregnancy and the last ones to help get my labor going . I am 4 cm dilated since last week and lots of inconsistent contractions and cramping for weeks! I am right there but my babies are stubborn I guess. I am writing this post for all of you ladies waiting patiently for your babies , for your entertainment only:) Here are some of my experiences.
CASTOR OIL- did this last pregnancy. Took only a tiny bit and was up all night with horrible cramping that stopped and then I was pregnant for another 2 weeks. Verdict- not recommended.
Sex- I have had sex. Not a lot of sex. But a few times this week. Not helping.
Black and blue Cohosh- I have these in organic tincture form, my health food store actually carried each. Lots of hype about it being "dangerous", I disagree. Well a few days ago I finally decided to give it a go after lots of research. 10 drops of each every hour for a day. NOTHING. I do not care to continue with it, I have two useless bottles now. Tried again the next day and nothing. But I do not recommend spending the $30.
Raspberry leaf tea- I was drinking it often, I have tapered off now. I have a blend of straight RRL and then an organic pregnancy blend that has RRL and some other herbs as well. I have been drinking it for weeks. It's not hurting anything, but no labor.
Pineapple- ate a whole fresh one and then had a raw throat . Also drank lots of juice just because I had some I use for smoothies was delicious , but no labor lol.
Spicy food- NOPE!!!
Eggplant- Parmesan YUM!!! Did not work.
Walking- I guess I could walk some more. I am
Tired of walking and it is 100 degrees outside.
Chiropractor- went the other day for pelvic alignment. Felt great! No labor. I go again this morning doc says it is good for my back after anyways.
Achilles massage- I did this last night. I have a massage machine and I alternated both my heels and back of legs. Definitely relaxing and took my mind off my miserable body, but no labor :)
Fleet Aenema- tried this yesterday, because I refuse to take castor oil EVER again after last prenancy. Had a great poop and I feel like my butt is really clean now but no labor Lol.
Let's see what the doc says today!!!!!!! This kid should be walking out with his suitcase now after all of this cervical ripening, and crap I am 4cm shouldn't he just fall out 👶🏻?! 😂😂
