Chiropractor ?? and nipple stimulation ??
Ok so I am 39 weeks and have tried everything but the chiropractor, massage and accupucnture. I think i may call and get into the chiropractor tom. After reading some earlier posts it makes since. My hips have always been out of whack and I go when needed when i have pain. I have been a fingertip dilated for 2 weeks. And she keeps saying if we could Just get baby head to move down it would help u dilate. If I could dilate to like a 2 she would be.comfortable doing a foley induction. So I have until July 18 when my RCS is scheduled to dilate more. I Just really want a vaginal birth at this point. Also nipple stimulatuon. How often are u supposed to do this. Everything I read says something different. I have been doing for about 3 days. I do about 5 min. On each side about 3 times a day. It does start contractions but they never last more than 30 min afrerwards. Also does this affect your milk when baby comes. I have been getting a little cholostrum but not much at all. Thanks ladies.

Re: Chiropractor ?? and nipple stimulation ??
Doing nipple stim won't affect your milk at all. Are you doing it by hand? You could try using a pump as well, or your SO's mouth.
Chiropractic is great for aligning you better so that baby can work better, but it won't induce you. Acupuncturists can actually induce you. I'd try that before foley.
