inducing labrour

[Steph4lee]

Im sure theres hundreds of threads like this, but I didnt have the patients to siv through them all.
Okay so Im booked in for a homebirth but If I go to far over will have to go in to be induced, so midwife told me to try all the natural ways possibe to evict baby!
Whats worked for you in the past?
Have drunk stupid amounts of rasberry leaf tea(I know it doesnt actually induce labrour) bout to have a jalapeno pizza(cant do curry dont like most meats, onions etc ) so settling for jalapeno pizza & hopefully will 'do the deed' If DF is up for it

Anmore ideas?? (I dont like pineapple!!)

Evening primrose oil inserted fron 36 weeks - Again this one is like RLT - not really to induce you but definitely helps soften the cervix.

The night before my waters went we and I went to bed in my wedding knickers! I hoped sods law would break my waters on them! It was a full moon and they went about 4 am

OH joked about the full moon with the MW at the birth centre and she said that they always have extra staff on when there's a full moon coz it's always busy!! she said it's the first thing they check when they get new rotas.....if you're on call on a full moon then you might as well come into work because you'll be need!

have you had a membrane sweep? My first was 16 days overdue and i was in labour when i went to be induced - i wasn't risking that with 2 and 3 so once i was overdue by 3 days i went in and demanded one - i think i had three with my third, but they seem to do the trick. Castor oil is supposed to start things off, but didn't work first time and was so horid i vowed not to do it again - pineapple much better!

I'm sure you'll get a few sweeps too especially with you being booked for a homebirth
