Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hi - I've been there! Being induced is not fun.... OK - don't get grossed out- try having sex (probably the last thing on your mind right now). My doctor suggested this one. Eating spicy food worked for my sister. And I know someone who took mineral oil to get things moving, but I don't know if I would recommend this. Maureen sweetmmmyangel2003 Tue, 28 Nov 2006 11:07 AM need some advice THE DOC AND I ARE TRING TO GET ME TO GO INTO LABOR BEFORE THEY INDUCES ME .. I REALLY DONT WANT TO BE INDUCED B/C THE LAST TIME I WAS IT HURT ALOT .

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Walking helps a lot. And like Maureen said, even though iot may be the last thing you are interested in at the moment, having an orgasm releases hormones that can naturally start labour. You don't have to have sex per se, just get the release. That's the important part in the process for this purpose. Another point to consider is that you may just be too worried (having gone through an induced labour before) and the stress is creating the hold. Try inhaling some essential oils that will relax you such as Rose, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Lavender. Vetivert is also good, it is a deep relaxant. Rose and Clary Sage are two oils that have been used to aide in Child birth for centuries. Good luck and happy parenting!

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I have been induced in all of my 4 pregnancies. The last one was a little extreme I think, but it worked. They knew each time I was ready, but this last time they gave me a little bit of castor oil to drink. It was no much. Only like 2 tablespoons. I would drink it with juice because of the aftertaste, but I tell you..makes you run to the bathroom alot, but that didn't help me much as it did put me into labor, but everytime I had to use the bathroom from it, I ended up having a major contraction. Now my one doctor who was a specialist told my husband and I ....that if your membranes have ruptured...Have sex, but make sure that he makes a " deposit " ...Something in the semen makes one come into labor. This is ONLY though for the ones that have had the membranes break. Walking does help too, but I tell ya, if you feel like I felt with all that pressure down there from the head dropping. Walking is not on your mind. LOL. Glade mjtarantino wrote: Hi - I've been there! Being induced is not fun....

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 This was years ago, since my daughter will be 20 in the Spring, but: I was 3 weeks overdue with my first child. I had a very high pressure, high stress job at the time, and my guess is that this had something to do with the delay. finally my dr. made me quit working and relax, but still nothing happened, so we scheduled the inducement for 9am on a Monday morning. I went into labor Sunday night and our daughter was born at 8:36 am. I thought that it was simply the combination of reduced stress from work and from worrying about not going into labor. My doctor, who was actually quite miffed to be called in before the scheduled inducement, asked me what I'd had for dinner the night before. I had had a salad and the doctor commented that it was probably the balsamic vinaigrette that caused the labor to begin. I thought she was joking until I was pregnant with my third child, and having some premature labor signs. My doctor at the time was a different doctor in a totally different city. This doctor insisted that I cut out any contact with balsamic vinegar to reduce the chances of premature labor. I don't know if it worked, but I made no other changes to my diet or activities at that time, and my daughter was born pretty much on schedule (3 weeks early). So maybe there is something to it. Anyway, a balsamic vinaigrette salad is pretty nutritious and it probably won't hurt you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 With both of my pregnancies I have used a product called prenatal from Dr. Christophers. It used to be called PN-6. It is an amazing blend of herbs that will make your labor so much easier!! I also used evening primrose oil. I took it orally and (yes I know it sounds gross) vaginally. But I only had 4 hours of labor total. It took 45 minutes to go from a 3 to an 8 and when it came time to push I only had to push twice. You can find these at a good nutrition store. Plus my husband is a chiropractor and did acu-pressure points on my ankle and hand. If you know of a good accupuncturist they can do some good stuff. Good luck! , Glade Sanders <gladesanders73 wrote: > > I have been induced in all of my 4 pregnancies. The last one was a little extreme I think, but it worked.
