Natural ways to induce?

Question

Dr said it is okay to start trying to induce safely & naturally at home if I want to have my baby at 38 weeks. He's a biiiiig boy & Dr said having him sooner will be better off for me & him. He's measuring at almost 3 weeks ahead. Dr said he legally can't induce me naturally until 39 weeks. Otherwise id have to have c-section at 37-38 weeks. (Im currently 33weeks) Im just trying to avoid the need for a c-section. (My daughter was only 6lbs 13oz & got stuck while delivering naturally. My body didn't want to naturally have her i guess. She was full term at 39w & 6d).
Anyways, I've heard sex, spicy food (those never worked for my daughter & wont now cuz my body is used to those things alllll the time). Castor oil?? Some sort of tea?? Exercise/Work (im on my feet moving around 6-9hours a day at work anyways). Anything else????

Answer

I had tried everything except castor oil (comes with risks and I wasn't willing to risk anything happening to my baby for my own comfort): walking, bouncing, sex, nipple stimulation, raspberry leaf tea, spicy food, cinnamon, pineapple... nothing worked. He just came when he was ready at 40+5. Don't stress too much about the weight estimate though. Those measurements are usually off + you're only 33 weeks so it can still change. All of my ultrasounds so far my boy was measuring about 3 weeks ahead. Then at 31 weeks he was suddenly measuring normal. A lot can still change until you're full term!

Answer

I’m 37 weeks and have tried most everything; from sex to exercising every single day and I’m talking full on working out I was squatting my normal weight on the squat rack and doing stair master, I drank ginger tea, evening primrose oil, red raspberry leaf tea, bouncing on the ball, eating spicy foods and nothing I’m so annoyed haha

Answer

There a lot of risks with Castor oil, so I wouldn’t do that. Go on a lot of walks, squats, bounce on an exercise ball, stuff like that!
