inducing labor yourself

posted 27th May '11

I am 36 weeks.. and I have had my labor stop twice 34 weeks and 35 weeks lol well now that I got the green light that i can go into labor and they wont stop me I am wondering what people recommend to help things go along. i know he will come when ready and all that but I am wondering if any ladies have tired anything? I have heard of pumping.. and accupunture and sex and walking and spicy foods. so what has worked for you ladies.

You have a month left. Why not let your body do it when it's ready?

What got the ball rolling for me was getting my membranes stripped twice. The second time, I went home and nothing happened. But the next day, I finished my Christmas shopping and was walking around the store for hours. Then I went into labor a few hours after I got home.

Wow, let the baby bake, so what if they won't 'stop' it, doesn't mean you need to force it..
Give it time, if baby's ready, baby is ready.
