Robin I started my last labour with castor oil & it was the most appalling experience of my life. I was 42+1 and desperate as I had fought off induction for as long as I could (I was also attempting VBAC). Even at that late gestation my baby didn't pass meconium but it made for a really unpleasant labour pooing liquid the whole time. Awful. It got to the point that my body was still pushing like I was having a bowel motion but there was nothing more to come out. I had another caesarean despite all this & I ended up painfully constipated for 2 weeks. When I finally went it was like having a baby the other way, a huge hard lump that looked far too big to have come out of where it came from. Sorry for the TMI but I truly wouldn't recommend it. I've had friends who have gone as long as 43 weeks without any issue, so I would just continue to refuse induction & try more gentle methods to induce labour. Your midwife will be feeling the pressure from the hospital system to have you induced due to hospital protocols. If you start to struggle fighting the "system" regarding induction, or questioning whether your baby is ok, maybe contact a doula for unbiased support.

My gender dreaming success arrived safe July 2015.
He is a complete dream come true and an absolutely beautiful little boy.
A huge thank you to Atomic for all her encouragement when I was up against things out of my control and ready to chuck it in. I can never thank you enough. Thank you also to all the other knowledgeable and ever supportive ladies that have helped and encouraged me. I truly believe my dream would not have come true without this site, my boy gender plan and the incredible love and support.

Robin, I was induced with pitocin with ds2, I was really not wanting to be induced at all and was scared of it but it actually was a very easy delivery, so much easier than ds1 with my water breaking 2 days early! Hope she comes soon! Happy birthday!

Question! I'm 37 weeks tomorrow, and since yesterday I been really really really tired. Have a headache, and feeling very nausea. Im also cramping like I'm having my period until I lay down and than its gone(I'm sure that's bh). Baby is moving a lot/normal. My last appointment was Monday and bp is normal, everything else is fine too. My next appt is this upcoming Monday. So my question is, is this normal? I never had this is the 3rd trimester with dd-so this is new to me, and is making me nervous.
