Natural induction techniques are BS

in June 2012 Moms

I'm pretty convinced that all of those tips and tricks that people say will help get you going are total OWT that have no basis in reality. I've done EVERYTHING they say will help (except caster oil) for the last three weeks, and here I sit, massively pregnant.  I got my hopes up yesterday when I tried EPO and I got two real contractions three hours apart.  I haven't gotten anything since.

 

Don't mind me, I'm grumpy.

    I'm sorry -- it does suck. I'm ready to be done also.  Well, just know that it will come out eventually. I haven't really had any contractions --  sigh.  I was excited about 3 days ago when i started loosing chunks of mucus plus/bloody show, and for the last day.. NOTHING.  No contractions, nothing.  If i'm having them, they're very very mild.  I'd do jumping jacks if it didn't hurt too much. lol

    Ugh, I am so sorry. I know how grumpy I am along with the constant pain, etc. I can't imagine how I will feel if I get as far as you. Good luck, I hope your water breaks today!!!

    I'll be grumpy with you! A week over due and my doctor says I'm hardly 1 cm dilated and I haven't felt a contraction this whole time, not even a BH.

    One more week to go I guess =/

    I did everything I was allowed to do - castor oil, 2 rounds of accupuncture, walking, sex, bouncing on a ball, sweeping membranes.  Nothing worked

    But, here's what I will say, I feel better for trying.  And maybe mentally, it helped me dilate faster (particular the accupuncture and working on visualization of opening up)

    Hang in there!  It won't be long now.

    I'm right there with you!  I've done everything except castor oil as well.  I refuse to do that!  I think my next steps are to wash the floors on my hands and knees and maybe try jumping jacks.  I have an appointment Thurs where they'll do an ultrasound, nst, and then go over results and discuss options.  I was really hoping not to get to that point...

    I'm sorry Andromeda. It's so frustrating to be over due. Hang in there; your LO will be here soon.

    They are BS. I have done everything in the book... I also ate my weight in eggplant parm at lunch today.

     Let's be real it's not going to do anything until my body is ready... ugh.

    Thanks for commiserating.  I know that it's normal to be this late, but things have been lined up to work if this baby comes by Friday.  My mom will be off of work next week, and my aunt is in town and leaving this weekend.  I know I can't force things, but I'm definitely feeling the stress.
