Jumpstarted labor stories?!

Question

I wanna hear all the stories if mommys who helped their labor along. I.e castor oil, birthing balls, long walks, teas, and herbs. What'd you use how long did it take and how many weeks were you?

Answer

I had an appointment at the hospital on the 13th, told I to be induced on the 16th of April 2016. (I developed Cholestasis at 30wks) I had an internal done and went home, and well that night. We "did the deed" 2x 😘 and 7:30am on the 14th, I woke up to the thought of "I've peed the bed". 😨 Lucky my husband slept in 😂 (7:30 was when he was meant to leave for work..)

3:26pm on the 14th of April 2016, Nathan Jake was born. 3 days before my Nans birthday.

PS . My nan went to the last appointment with me, and when we were told I was to be induced on the 16th. She was happy, she goes "Yes!! I'll be getting my birthday present late."
I had to stay in for 5 or 7 days (can't remember) so day 3 my nan came up to see him. I did apologise for not having a birthday present, she goes "shut up, you gave me my first great grandchild".
