Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Quick question: My daughter is over due for her baby, this is her 5th pregnancy and has been in early labor (contractions have been bouncing between 20 minutes apart on Tuesday, 8 minutes and painful Wed.) I know there are a few herbs that act as a natural way to help the contractions become consistent but cannot remember if there are any other than Blue Cohosh and wondered if anyone out there knows. The place where I get my herbs does not have the Blue Cohosh. If you know of other herbs I would sure appreciate the help and I know she will as well. Thank you for your help. Susan Hope all is well with you and yours. Image by FlamingText.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 This is a very timely post for me as I am 41 weeks + 3 days today. I declined stretch and sweep and also refused being induced. Going for daily check-ups from Saturday (42weeks) I have been on the respberry leaf tea and am about to try pineapple. The eggplant parmessan sounds interesting! Kendra >>Thank you for the material. She has not had the baby yet, she will not be >>having her at home as she has had several c-sections and would worry that >>things might go wrong too quick. So she is actually scheduled but has been >>contracting for over a week long and it is really getting to her. The dr. >>will not deliver her until she is either 8 c. dilated or her water breaks >>(this woman has the worst bedside manner and I feel is trying to teach my >>daughter a " lesson " as this is her 5th pregnancy). So I have been trying >>to figure out how to make her labor progress far enough to help her. I >>think I will mention the evening primrose method to her as it seems to >>have the least negative impact on her or the babe. I have been consulting >>my herbal books this past weekend and the cohosh worries me about the >>heart beat risks. She was at the hosp for a stress test today just to >>check the baby. I am hoping that the belts were slipping because her >>heartbeat dipped down in the 40's a few times and 200 another. The nurses and pediatrician were not too worried when I asked about it so I am trying to not worry too much. But again thanks for your advice.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Yes caster oil works, just be ready for a major bowel cleaning and horrible contractions. I did it with my first baby 25 years ago that was late....I personally wouldn't do it again. That baby will come when IT is ready...not mommy. Jenny Kernan --- " A.J.
