brownie Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hello how is everyone doing today? well I am at 41.3 weeks into this pregnancy and I cant wait to see my baby! how ever I am past term and my doc wants to induce it, but I really dont want to have "water broken" or have pitocin, my mother had such a horrible experience with this. what is save to do at home that might get labor started? i have tryed spicy foods and pinnaple but not luck thanks for the help Link to comment
melrich Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I've heard having an orgasm can bring on labor. Someone told my partner asparagus? Link to comment
annie24 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 LOL - I heard there is some fabulous italian restaurant in nyc where women go into labor after having their food! Link to comment
ElektraHere Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I have heard that sex helps induce labor. Also walking, walking, and more walking. Your little snickerdoodle likes being in mommy's tummy Link to comment
annie24 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 actually, my mom induced labor early, because she was getting sick of her mother in law visiting (because my grandmother wouldn't go home until I was born). I don't want to tell you though what she did, because it was dangerous. She made me come 3 weeks early. just do what the doctors tell you to. maybe go out for italian food? spicy meatballs?

ElektraHere Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I think it was the spicy meatballs that got her this way. LOL ;-) Link to comment
brownie Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 LOL, he does seem to like it in there! it must be warm! I am going to try the walking and the sex... I am just so scared of the whole "idea" of inducion! thank you all for the help! hmmm I love sparagus! yummy! well atleast I have an excuse to hit all the mexican and Italian restauratns. My doc just thinks inducion is better im not getting any ideas from him Link to comment
Ians Mommy Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Cod liver oil. My sister drank a bottle of it when she was a week overdue with my nephew and went into labor a few hours later. Link to comment
justpaisley Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Well, sitting on the couch watching TV is what worked for me... have you tried that? lol I agree with the spicy foods, but give greasy a try too. And once you reek of fried chicken, have sex with your man. That baby'll be along in no time. Link to comment
southerngirl Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Cod liver oil. My sister drank a bottle of it when she was a week overdue with my nephew and went into labor a few hours later. Not safe, please dont do that,,,,,, please. Truthfully? I had a friend that was moving and all day I rode around in a UHaul helping them move, no I didnt lift anything but I was helping her pack up boxes and just along for the ride. That night I went into labor. I think it was the bumpy ride that you get in those things that did it... LOL Link to comment
vandgsmom Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Raspberry tea stimulates the uterine walls to contract, nipple stimulation makes the body produce pitocin naturally, and believe it or not, a lukewarm enema causes the rectum to contract. The cervix bulges slightly into the ano-rectal canal and the tightening of it will cause the cervix to thin slighlty and on the plus side it cuts down on embarrassing poopy accidents while in labor... Good luck! Link to comment
annie24 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 raspberry tea sounds like the answer for everything! LOL. well, there you go. raspberry tea, fried chicken, cod-liver oil, and spicy meatballs. sounds like a feast. you'll either have a baby or indigestion Link to comment
brownie Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hello everyone Thank you so much for the suggestions, today I tyed the spicy meatballs, some sex and walking.. so far not even a camp! lol but I tomorrow the menu looks interesting... some fry chicken, some packing of my old clothes and sex.. well see! ill keep you all posted! thanks so much for the help Link to comment
helpme2 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I had horrible induction experiences. I would suggest getting your water broke if they can (they couldn't with me and I was just on Pitocin for hours and hours with no progress) anyway, my second started after I ate a lot of black olives, apparently eating something that gives you gas can start things moving. sex is always a good one, playing with your nipples, apparently there is a hormone that gets sent out when you orgasm that is similiar to pitocin.....you might try that, it could be fun!

vandgsmom Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Or sex. Sex is the answer for everything. If Hitler had had more sex, the world would be a different place... If nothing else, it will take your mind off your aching back..lol Buena Suerte! Link to comment
HealingHandsWarmHeart Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hey - reflexology can also induce labor- Have someone rub your feet! Better yet- have some sex and then tell them to rub your feet! lol good luck to you! Link to comment
brownie Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 hehehehe, I am always up for some sex and a foot rub.. that sounds good, I really dont want to have pitocin! olives ill try that! Thanks all for the help! Link to comment
