re: Different ways to induce labor?

Even if she was trying to speed it up, why does it matter? It doesn't work and as long as she isn't drinking castor oil and is doing subtle things like walking why does it matter?

I couldn't agree more, women swear like they haven been in her shoes just wanting their baby out already... Replies to posts like these annoy the smurf out of me.

It's one thing to try things that don't actually work unless the baby is ready and another to induce labor. I am not for inducing. It's selfish.

I don't see the problem as long as it's nothing stupid like drinking oil or other drastic measures lol

If you could successfully induce labor, than it is only about your.discomfort and not about what is best for the baby.

I did ask my midwife about inducing labor last week because I have family here from out of state and I only see them once every 3+ years and really wanted them to see the baby before they leave. She would have only been a week early, but my midwife won't even consider it until 3 days after they leave (4 days before due date) so I decided against it and to let her come at her do her thing. If she's anything like her mommy, she'll do whatever she wants anyways lol.

!!! Exxxxactlyy

The worst she's gonna do is get some exercise and extra sex lol

bless ya your only curious and whats wrong with that or even if you did wanna speed things up, its our bloody body and baby at the end of the day.
iv also been looking online and have heard crazy and common things also like sex, walking etc.
with my first i didnt really try owt but did do lots of walking and happened to have a bit of sex when i could. with this pregnancy its a no go sex as have constant thrush and obviously dont feel very sexy lol. but i have had nipple stimulation or lactating them can set off contractions but who knows, ad say walking and exercising when u can is probably the most that makes sense out of all these as gravity helps baby drop. hope your baby comes at the right time for you anyways and good luck. x

I told my husband that the "sex to progress" study was preformed by men/dad's to be that aren't getting enough booty and know that if baby comes soon that they aren't getting none for 6w+. So they are trying to get as much as they can   lol... But seriously walk, ball, sex, primrose oil, red raspberry tea,and all that good stuff can HELP but most likely won't be the actual cause..
