10 days until my due date. I'm looking for natural ways to induce labor. My first son was a week late. I don't want the same issue again.
Yeah it was horrible.. I would try everything first; spicy food, sex, walking, stairs, bouncing on a ball, raw pineapple, warm but not too hot bath, have your OB "agitate" your cervix it's not sweeping your membranes but close too it. My doctor did that, I went home swept mopped, had sex and took a warm bath, lost my mucus plug and had him 2 days later.. But try everything before the oil.. Use it as a last resort. @mommykiwi
@mommykiwi, my dr checked me Friday and I was 3cm dilated, 50% effaced, and he was -1 station so they told me they expect to see me in labor and delivery around Monday but my contractions come and go so I feel it won't happen... :-( your dr tell you anything?
castor oil will give you major shits and may actually cause the baby to swallow his poop. Thats what my doctor told me. but, you are welcome to try it! ive heard successful stories with it. with me it took pumping with a breast pump and lots of stairs!! sex will also soften the cervix, even though sex can be uncomfortable towards the end, it does help. dancing can help as well!!
@cassie2136, we have the same due date!!!
@katemeier, I'm hearing mix stories on the castor oil
I drank the castor oil, and all it did was give me horrible stomach cramps, and diarrhea. @mommykiwi
I have been debating the oil as well bc I'm desperate to have him out already
@Kim hearing mix stories on the castor oil. but I need to get my energy together for the sex part lol
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
THIS MIGHT BE TMI BUT SEX IS THE BEST IN SAFEST WAY TO GO INTO LABOR THAT IS HOW I HAD MY FIRST CHILD A WEEK EARLY
