What else?

Question

I have to be induced in 15 days, and I really would rather go on my own, I know babies won’t come till they’re ready but I really want to get things going... 
So far I’ve tried.. 
Sex, Walking, EPO, yoga ball, dancing (not religiously).. 
What else can I try. I really do t want to have to be induced.

Answer

I’m in the exact same boat as you. I’m doing everything I can but I have a feeling he’s gona stay put. Doctor wants me to be feeling painful contractions to make progress if I want to avoid induction. 
I am : 
Walking 2 hours continuously per day (good level of baseline fitness so doc said 2 hours if I want it to do anything) 
Walking up and down my stairs as much as I can, like 10-20 times as this really gets me feeling the things. Plus can’t hurt my legs and butt 💪🏼 🍑 
I’m getting a note from her Wednesday so I can go to a place we have here that does an induction massage which uses the acupressure points the other poster mentions- I believe they’re lower leg/ankle somewhere in there. 
The slightly more out there things as I’m desperate.... eating 6/7 dates per day... the old wives tale isnir induces labor, a study showed no difference BUT it did show a reduction in the need for pitocin in instances of induced labor (or maybe lower doses?) so going this a go too. They’re pretty gross to me so I break them up over the day. They’re FULL of good vitamins and minerals tho so just seeing it as a health boost too. 
The most ridiculous one I’m doing is rubbing clary sage aromatherapy oil on my belly. 
My doc actually suggested castor oil to me... which kind of blew my mind given all the negativity I’ve seen about it on here. I don’t think I’m willing to try that one tho. 
Good luck!! Hope we both manage to serve the eviction notice prior to induction!!

Answer

Diffusing Clary Sage EO, nipple stimulation (like pumping, that's what worked with my first), make sure you're fed, hydrated, relaxed.

Answer

Look up acupressure! It's not proven to work, but Ive been trying it out on myself. It won't hurt, and if it does nothing, it at least feels good.
