38 weeks today. 2cm dilated at front (?) and 50% effaced. I've tried inducing twice with castor oil,…

I wouldn't risk castor oil again but if you can, walk, have sex, squats, you could try EPO, they say eating pineapple can induce, walking up and down stairs

@chhaya the castor oil doesn't effect me like I've heard it does most. In fact it makes my bowels regular (which I'm on stool softeners for my hemherrhoids anyway)... I have ate 3 whole fresh pineapples! And I try walking but I'm so swollen it hurts my legs and feet if I do it longer than about 15 min. I wouldn't try inducing myself if my induction wasn't set for my due date and if I wasn't so miserable!

I wouldn't try anything! Baby's gonna come when baby is ready! My friend tried all kinds of stuff to try to induce and her baby still came at 41 weeks.

@andersongirl I induced with my first at 40 weeks 6 days and was 0cm 0%. You're right, they do come when they're ready but sometimes they need a little push 😉

Lol! True!

If you tried all that that means your little one isn't ready yet you have up until 42 weeks depending on baby weigh. So just be patient

@phasion I know she wasn't ready before because I was 0cm 0% when I first tried and in 3 days 2cm 50% so I'm definitely making progress and I highly doubt that happened on its own

Evening primrose oil. You can get it just about anywhere. Google it. You take a few orally, an insert a few before bed. I only know of one person it didn't work for. Lol

walk alot

I was referring to the risks on your baby. EPO and sex is what I did and my son came on his due date
