well do everything you can to get things moving

chinese (not indian) curry
long walks
get baby into position by sitting on a dining chair and facing the back. Dont slouch on a sofa as baby will slump back
clary sage oil in the bath
evening primrose capsules on cervix
nipple stimulation (i know but it does work)

are a few to try for a start

4getmenot

yer but as you read they never worked for redcrx lol

redcrx

i had a chinese curry and sat astride the chair less than 6 hours before baby CRX arrived. went to bed at midnight with no pains and had her at 2,40am. I was even posting on answerbank at 1am lol
something mustve worked :)

4getmenot

she was late wasnt she

redcrx

yep, 40+4 but nothing like 42+3 lol

thanks, ill try the sitting backwards on the chair - i tend to slouch in sofa, that stops now! walking hasn't worked and i didnt like rasperry leaf tea! chinese tonight then :-) i've read that most of these theories are just myths - apparently sex is the best one to try! x

oh and with the nipple stimulation - its meant to be done for a few hours to have any affect!!!!

4getmenot

junior redcrx obviously made the way for her lol

ummmm

I was 42 weeks with my eldest. Went in to be induced (the night before) Doctor came to examine me and asked if I was in any pain. I said no, why? He said you're dilated....

They gave me the option the next morning....let nature take it's course or we can break your waters. I chose the latter. Not a good idea...

redcrx

oh, ummm, i had waters broke with first. not the best experience lol

The sex and hormones thing is apparently best if ingested - got to have been a man who came up with that idea lol

i had raspberry leaf capsules as i agree the tea tastes gross. But that doesnt bring on labour so a bit late for that now.
