Is anyone past 37 weeks and thinking of natural induction methods ?
Or are you all sitting and waiting it out so that bubs comes when its good and ready - Part of me wants to wait but the other part of me thinks that I have just over 2 weeks late and 2 of my babies were 2 weeks late so thats possible another 4 week wait and ive only got the next 6-7 weeks off so if it is late i will literally be back at work full time when baby is 2-3 weeks old so in that way i want him to come earlier so i have more time with him - Im not worried about size as he ( or she ) already weighs in at 7.5-8lb and still has another 2 weeks until its due date.
I dont want to try anything nasty or dangerous like castor oil as heard it can make baby poo inside which obviously isnt good so i thought maybe hot curry, raspberry leaf tea increase, evening primrose capsules orally and vaginally, maybe coax DH in to some "hows your father" long walks if my SPD can take it though with the swelling i have in my calfs feet and ankles at the moment this may not be wise .....
Anyone else got any tricks of the trade ? I heard nipple stimulation was good but read that you have to Stimulate your breasts for an hour, three times a day. Spend 15 minutes continually stimulating one breast, and then alternate to the other breast for 15 minutes until the hour is up. ....... are they kidding me ????? 3 hours a day playing with my nipples ..... i dont even have a spare half hour to soak in the bath let alone sit twiddling my nipples ,,,,,, now if that was a man told to fondle his balls Im sure he would find the time !!!
Im going to try boucning on the birth ball each night for half hour or so ........
Anything else i can try ladies ?
