Inducing labor tips?

in 3rd Trimester
Have you tried ways to induce labor? Did it work?

I have had lots of sex, bouncing, lots of raspberry tea, spicy food, and breast pumping. I did the pumping one day and it gave me lots of contractions but then when I tried agian I couldn't get any milk out. Idk if iwas doing it wrong or what. Friend of mine told me to try the evening premios oil vaginally then to have sex.

    And I just reread your post. Stop pumping. Get some patience and wait it out like everyone else!

    What is wrong with you?

    I never asked for rude comments. But for the fact that I have a cracked rib that nothing can be done about it till baby is born I am at 37 weeks which is full term. Yes I would like to wait but when you have a 3 year old and in pain most of the time some times you can't wait.

    With my first I walked my little heart out, tried sex ect... but it wasn't until I stopped trying and just rested for 3 days in my bed (as relaxed as I could be) that I started to dilate, my midwife called me if for a labor check that friday @ 5. And little did I know I was already 6.5 cm and not feeling any pain or contractions... when you just give into the fact that its all up to your lil bundle stuff starts happening... just relax and enjoy the last bit of rest and you time you will have for awhile. Congraluations.

    I am 35 weeks with a 3 year old and have SPD. Oh, and I am pregnant with a bruiser. Pregnancy can hurt, but let the bean bake.

    OMG STOP PUMPING!! You're taking the colostrum that your body's producing for your LO's first few days of life away from them. It's extra fatty and full of the nutrients and anti-bodies they need to thrive. Your baby will come when he/she is ready. If having sex and everything "made" labor start then it would be recommended to stop these things for fear of delivering early (which 37 weeks is). Let your baby continue to grow and they'll come when they're ready.

    I didn't think you could even do anything to fix a cracked rib...not even sure why this is a reason to want to induce labor. 

    Because there isn't anything to do for a cracked rib except rest. They don't bind you or do anything about it anymore. Maybe give you some pain meds.


    The baby is probably putting pressure on the injury, so I can understand why OP is motivated to start labor and get some relief. Unfortunately, it will probably have to wait a bit longer. OP, try to get some rest, can you ask for help with your child either from family or babysitter? I understand that it must be painful when you have an injury that is not able to heal at this time.

    I am very much aware of what full term is. I gave talked to my doctor before trying anything. What I don't get is why most of y'all feel the need to be rude. I am the one who is pregnant the mother to the child and the one who knows what is going on the best. I simply asked for advice not to be bashed.

    That's what I thought. Pain meds during pregnancy- no thank you! Girl needs to get a grip.

    Um, false. Your boobs constantly make more colostrum. Her pumping will not reduce the amount there for her newborn. But, OP, you won't pump milk until a few days after delivery. Milk production is not triggered until the placenta detaches. And have patience. As many PP have said, 37 weeks is NOT full term.
    I am assuming she is pumping not to store milk but to try and induce labor. So she should stop pumping.

    Yeah, I'll jump in on the "why you don't want your baby to come early" bandwagon. Granted, I had an earlier preemie, but even at 37 weeks, she was not properly taking a bottle and she was still TINY:

    about 37 weeks:

    I am sure a broken rib is not comfy, but guess what chick? I was bleeding out at 30 weeks and still would have preferred to keep my daughter in rather than have her sit in the NICU for the next nine weeks, but then, I am not a selfish twat...

    But sure, 37 weeks is totes fine, because you are uncomfortable...

    I walked a ton with my first for my job and he came at 36.5 weeks. He was healthy but still small. He's doing great at 3yo now!! I have heard of all these ways to help urge labor but what I've heard works most is the walking. It is good for you too. I'm sorry you are in pain and I'm even more sorry you had to deal with some very rude comments. We come here for support and sometimes get the opposite. Try and be patient, do some walking and relax. Best of luck to you.

    @Darbie914‌ I'm sorry you think I'm ill informed but my mother happens to be an OB doctor, I trust her opinion over yours in a second. As I stated before ALL doctors have different opinions. Yes she should probably take her doctors advice but she was simply asking about NATURAL ways to induce labor. I can't get over the ignorance in your post. I understand giving her advice but she doesn't deserve harsh comments. Whatever happened to having manners. Don't be negative and a know it all. Remember this is HER pregnancy not yours.

    @MrsMuq‌ I can't get over the amount of ignorance in your post. If you would like to take narcotics during your pregnancy sure go ahead. I would much rather naturally induce labor at 37 weeks than to drug my child with heavy pain meds. 39 weeks is now considered full term yes I understand that, however, 37 weeks doesn't consider your baby a preemie. My mom is an OB doctor I have done loads of research and also used my own OB's advice. All which said was fine. Now if your baby is under the weight range than I wouldn't advise it. All I was stating was that y'all didn't have to be so harsh with her. But I'm so terribly sorry I had absolutely no idea that you know everything about being pregnant and how pregnancy should go. Please forgive me!!

    I deleted myself from this, no matter if I was quoted or not, because I choose not to participate in bullying.  I shouldn't have said some of the things I did, but when triggered by those who decide to instigate things, sometimes I, too, become a bully.  However, I have asked that they delete my account, because I have seen nothing but negativity, rudeness, insults, put-downs, etc, from catty women who think they are superior to everyone else.  I can understand; you find it easy to target these people because they are online.  You don't see them face to face, and you don't have to deal directly with the consequences of your actions.  But it still doesn't make it right.  

    I feel sorry for you.  As a bully, you were probably abused as a child.  You were bullied yourself, therefore you feel the need to overpower others now that you are an adult.  Or maybe you are still being bullied, and putting others down makes you feel better inside.  I've seen several posts where you attempt to be in control by making other people feel like less of a person.  I have seen other forums where you have done the same thing.  

    I can only hope you don't teach your children the same thing.  I hope they learn to appreciate other people, and to not say anything if they can't say something nice.  I hope you don't project your behavior onto them, and teach them that this is ok, because it isn't.  I feel sorry for you because this is probably the only thing you know.  You were never taught kindness.  You were obviously never taught manners.  Maybe this online bullying helps you sleep better at night.  I can assure you it will never fully complete the hole you feel inside.  I suggest you seek out counseling, stay off the internet, and choose to live your life in a more positive light, rather than dominating other people with your words.  

    And you win, because I know thats what you want.  You have successfully driven me away from this site forever.  I will not be a part of this, and I honestly don't need some forum badly enough to just sit and watch people get ripped to shreds over a simple question, or answer.

    Please please please don't try to have baby come before baby is ready. I am a preemie mom who had twins come at 34+4 because they were IUGR, I had PRE-E and I had developed HELLP sydrome (which could have killed all 3 of us). I was in terrible pain from my sciatic where I could barely walk, getting on and off the toilet made me cry and my liver was so inflamed from the HELLP that it felt like I was being stabbed in the back with a red hot knife and I didn't want them to come till they were ready. My little girls wiere in the hospital for 30 days and I tell you it is the worst feeling in the world having not seen them till 12 hours after their birth (due to my BP issues) and not being able to hold them for 2 days. Seeing them with all the wires, the feeding tube, in those little plastic boxes was heart breaking. Leaving them every night to go home sucked especially when they look at you with those eyes and all I could think they were thinking was "mommy, why are you leaving me". OK I have to stop because I'm bawling my eyes out here and cant see anymore. Please OP just dont be selfish.
