Naturally inducing labor?!

Question

Hey moms, please share your experiences! I am shooting for a VBAC but not suggested to go beyond my due date so I am in a time crunch to get my body going! I am 38 wks 1 day. I have been drinking raspberry leaf tea for a month already, using primrose oil capsules (1000mg) up the hoo-ha at night for a week. Trying to have sex at least every other day (yes im tired😩) and trying to walk for at least 20 minutes a day (again, TIRED) I recently got Clary Sage essential oil as well and plan to start rubbing that on belly. 
Can any moms confirm/deny these things helped?! I need some reassurance or to just be taken out of the cloud - either way! Advice appreciated!!!

Answer

Following!  
I’m 40+2 and have induction scheduled for Sunday on recommendations of the doctors... I’ve tried dates, red raspberry leaf, sex, two membrane sweeps, walking, exercise ball, pumping... no success after like 3 weeks of hard efforts

Answer

Following... let me know!  I want to avoid induction at all costs as well

Answer

Things like raspberry tea and primrose oil and all those natural remedies can not induce labor, they “can” prepare your body to get ready for labor. Sex is the only actual way to induce labor (it won’t work unless your body is ready) because it releases oxytocin. Other than that I’d ask your doctor or midwife to do a membrane sweep

Answer

I’ve heard a lot of bad things about the midwives brew so I’d probably stay away from that.. just because I’m paranoid 😂🙅🏾‍♀️

Answer

Also try nipple stimulation. It also releases oxytocin and I are a post a week or so ago. The girl said she was getting pretty strong contractions from it. Also maybe try pumping. I'm gonna start trying in about a week.

Answer

I did the midwives brew with my son. Took it at 11am and started having contractions regularly at 4pm. No diarrhea from the castor oil or vomiting, doesn’t taste great but worked for me

Answer

Look up midwives brew!! It has a 80% success rate! I’m going to try it myself since I live across country and my mom will only be staying with us for a set period of time to be able to watch our daughter! I’m also going to ask for a membrane sweep!!
