Need some top class tips on bringing on the labour! Went for a hot bath today, but thats about all I know to help really, I want this over and done with very soon !

So tips ladies ? x

 

[pinkymum]

These are just some things I've heard.
Sex
Fresh pineapple but I'm guessing you'd need quite a lot.
Hot spicy curry
Bouncing on a birthing ball
Going on all fours and scrubbing the floor
There's also something about pressure points in your ankles, someone sent me a link for a YouTube video about it.

But I'm not sure if anything works unless baby is ready lol. But its fun to do anyway

Nipple tweaking although I won't ne trying this unless absolutely desperate!

Loads of walking

A bath with that black cosh stuff I think (don't quote me on that tho!)

 

[lea554]

I have heard about the raspberry leaf tea/tablets being quite good - and also for recovery afterwards, so may get me some of them!
I walk a lot anyway, around 3 miles a day, so shall see if that has any effect!

[pinkymum]

Yeah the rlt but I've read that won't bring labour on but help the uterus contract and like lea said can help with recovery.
You could stand on your head
(Joking) lol.
What does evening primrose oil do? I saw smess talking about it.

Ohhhh epo helps soften the cervix but it will only work if your body is ready its not a fool proof way but defo worth ago. X x

 

[pinkymum]

Have you started using it hun? And when is it recommended to start using? 36/37 wks? X

 

[smess26]

I've started it now taking it not inserting it though slightly scared for that lol. Figured it can't hurt really. Have heard success stories with it though. Cervix nice and soft.
