My baby is ready to come out. My doctor and the on call nurse at l&d both said she is. My cervix is refusing to dilate. I do not want to be induced and I do not want a c-section. I've tried walking, bouncing on my yoga ball, baths, nipple stimulation, spicy food, pineapple. And nothing is working. What else can I do? Sex is not an option because my fiancé is freaked out by the idea because his daughter is in there... HELP ME! ****If you have a problem with inducing labor, or helping things move along at home, just keep scrolling. I'm not going to argue or defend myself because of what you believe****

Idk how u feel about castor oil but it worked with my first one. If dr allows me I'm thinking of giving a try with this one. Yes squats and stairs like pp mentioned! Good luck and fingers crossed!!

Have you tried nip stim with a breast pump? In the hospital I've helped 'induce' women with a hospital grade breast pump. Both boobs for 30 min to an hour. If you start having contractions it's likely it will work but to continue labor you usually have to continue nip stim too.

@5nooooodles I've had a lot of people telling me to try it. How much am I supposed to take? I was really trying to avoid making myself go to the bathroom even more than I already do....but I'm getting desperate. lol

@ash2014c I have a single pump that my mom got me. I tried pumping for about 15 minutes on each breast and nothing happened. I did nipple stimulation last night and I had one contraction and that was it.

I took about 3 tablespoons with orange juice. I'm glad it cleaned me out so when it was time for lo to be born I didn't have to worry about pooping lol I know tmi. Only thing what makes it dangerous is that u have to stay hydrated!! If ur not drinking water/ Gatorade it can get very dangerous cause it does clean u out. U may wanna run it by ur dr only cause many have different opinions about it. I took it when I was already dilated tho so I think that's why it worked for me. Just be careful with it.

castor oil worked for my first pregnancy, but wven tho it taste like nothing, trust me it has a nasty after taste and is hard to swallow, it goes down alot smoother if you down it with pineapple juice tho, i took 2tablespoons good luck tho :) makes me wanna throw up just thinking about the taste 😷

You have to keep doing it. The women who have delivered this way ( in my experience) had to continue with both breasts (at the same time) on a pump for the duration of the labor. We turn the pump as high as mom can handle it then back it down so it isn't painful. It's a lot of work. Most who start with nip stim end up with pitocin :/ (truthfully)

Same thing happened to me with both my deliveries I wouldn't progress naturally. Have them break your water and I swear you'll go on your ownS

DO NOT USE CASTOR OIL. @sarahrachel0715 please I beg you. use these evening primrose oil capsules and insert like 5 up near your cervix before you go to bed, you can also take them as well but the oil helps soften your cervix and all that jazz, ride in the car on a bumpy bumpy road
