Inducing labor at home!!!??

erinludvik

This is my 3rd baby and am trying to have a vbac delivery. I really want to avoid an induction. My first was born at 39 weeks vaginally with labor starting on its own and my second was an induction turned csection at 38 weeks. I am currently 38+2 and am looking for any way to get things going, besides castor oil!!!!

Simultaneous twerking (the dance) and nipple stimulation has a 92% success rate.

I've found that this only works when wearing a glitter thong, though. Just from experience. 

Oh and nipples must be dipped in syrup.

Remind me, does the type of syrup matter?  Does Aunt Jemima work or does it have to be real maple syrup?

For safety's sake, can I just say on a serious note that castor oil does not work, and it's dangerous to take it trying to induce labor. So don't.

I usually go for Aunt Jemimas Butter Rich in case I want a small snack before the baby comes.

Bouncing up and down while inhaling an entire pineapple covered in the hottest sauce you can stand in a matter of 2.5 minutes is very effective as well.

Jalepeno up the butt has been known to have some effect also.

Standing on your hands while twerking has also proved to be effective.

Bouncing up and down on your SOs penis is preferable, but an exercise ball will also work if he's not home.

Ah yes, the ol' tried and true jalapeño suppository.  I thought I had everything checked off my to do list, but I just realized I don't fit into my glitter thong collection anymore.  To the store I go!

Castor oil flavored syrup?

If you build it, they will come....

Seriously by your 3rd baby shouldn't you know better?

dsmith211

FYI... My midwife did say that any of the methods online don't work anyway unless your body is already ready to go into labor and is pretty much already starting the process on it's own anyway. So try all the things you would like, but if your body isn't ready then it's not really going to do anything and I hope you actually enjoy eating all the pineapple and spicy food you can take.

Literally dying at these comments. Um and yes by my third baby I know everything obvious to start labor, was looking for some different things besides the typical old wives tales.

Nothing is a guarantee. There are no "secret inducing techniques." Patience. Patience. Patience.

I feel like the jalapeno suppository might end up ruining my glitter thong.

Drink exactly 1.4 liters of cranberry cocktail (NOT to be confused with regular cranberry juice), wait 5 minutes then spin clockwise 6 times.  This will 99% for sure cause you to have your baby 3 hours and 27 minutes later.   

LadySamLady

Stimulate your nipples starting now and don't stop until you hear the baby cry.

BlueJuice

Maybe a glitter suppository and a jalapeño thong, to mix it up?

Not a fan of twerking. I'm exploring if tootsie rolling to rap is as effective, since no evidence based studies have been conducted yet

If you are literally dying, you should definitely call your doctor.

I've also heard that hopping on one foot while simultaneously rubbing your belly, patting your head, and singing the alphabet backwards speeds things right up. But you have to be singing the alphabet backwards, if you're just saying it, it won't work.

I can't stand it when people say they are "literally dying." No. No you're not. Get a dictionary and look up what literally means!!!

Edit: Because words are hard.

if anything, it should be, "I'm figuratively dying"... Guess it just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Make sure you take your hot sauce everywhere. Never know when the moment is right for some hot sauce. Don't want to miss an opportunity to induce labor!

 Wasn't there an episode of how I Met your mother about the misuse of literally? I am an offender - it's a hard habit to quit!

Since this is my fourth kid I should obviously know how to induce labor right? I want to clarify that ALL of these methods are effective. But guys... I'm looking for an even newer way to induce labor this time instead of the whole jalapeño up the ass and twerking in glitter thongs while drinking syrup. Those options are for my back up plan. No pun intended.

Utilizing physics, you must keep legs open during rotation and must grease body and kitty with banana boat tanning oil or Crisco.

You could use @yogahh hot sauce and @TXmamatobe jalapeno suppository and you'd probably have a baby in an hour or two...

Wait, I thought this method was used during delivery to get the baby out quickly due to centrifugal force.....

I've heard of special pizza, eggplant parmigiana, and lemon cupcakes that are supposed to induce labor. A local hot dog place has claimed a woman went into labor after eating there.

I doubt any of this will work, but I'll take any excuse to have a food adventure. After I'm pregnant, no one is going to let me choose where to eat by default. I have to milk this while I still can!

I draw the line, however, at sticking any of these foods up my butt...

I don't know, @lalala2004, a lemon cupcake up the keester could make for a bitchin sugar high, at least!
