Well set the inducement date today and not happy...

about it. I really want to go natural. Its almost a week after my due date so I'm really hoping that I can get this moving along on my own. Anyone trying any old wives tales to speed things along? I'm already walking and stair climbing. Thanks for any suggestions!

    Two of the doctors in my practice recommended sex.  There is something in the semen that can help get labor started.

    I've tried EVERYTHING. I'm sorry, I have nothing uplifting or any advice. I have to be induced too!

    Sex works! It's the prostaglandin in the sperm, also having an O helps too. DH and I had some sexy time and it sent me to the hospital twice last weekend to stop contractions. We are cut off from that now until 37 weeks.

    Other than that, my MW recommended pressure points. The other 2 that work are nipple stimulation and castor oil. Nipple stimulation she said to be careful with because it can cause the baby's heart rate to drop and also castor oil will make you miserable.

    Sex and walking!

    And FWIW, I went med-free with my son after getting Pitocin. It's not easy, but it CAN be done!  GL to you!

    Sex gives me contractions that last a day, but that don't progress.  Obviously, LO isn't ready yet!
