How to soften my cervix?

[twinkle84]

Sorry just really worrying that my cervix is not ready and im booked in for induction next Fri. I just wondered if in the meantime if there is anything I can do to help this process?

I heard sex and walking can help. I am walking, but cant seem to manage to get far. Sex im not keen on at the mo, but anything at the min is worth a go. Just wondered if anyone knew of any other things I could try?

Thanks xxx

I was gonna suggest sex,it's the semen that helps prepare the cervix. I'm not much help otherwise but u've got another week and a lot can change in that time xxx

evening primrose oil is meant to soften ur cervix, im currently taking 3 tablets a day, but only from this week cos baby brain made me forget, lol they can be inserted or squirted up there as direct onto the cervix or as close to as possible is whats meant to make a difference, but im just taking them orally, dont really fancy stickin em up there just yet,lol

good luck hun

Raspberry leaf tea although it may be too late to start but worth a try. Think you take them from 37 weeks onward 3 times a day. Worked for me 1st round I think

raspberry leaf tea tones the uterus so makes contractions more effective its the evening primrose that will ripen/ soften your cervixs hope it all goes well for you xx
