Evening primrose oil can help soften the cervix. Bouncing on a birthing ball, sex.. but even these things will only work if baby is truly ready

sex, exercise are supposed to help. I had plenty of sex and ate spicy food and all 3 kids were born in the 38th week.

@cubanese it speeds by😩 as much as I want July now I'm like okay..... where did my pregnancy go 😂

@arivera64 thank you girl, I do as well😳

awww well i hope she holds out a while longer @hermommy

@arivera64 I agree Im one of those mommys Brin has been trying to cme since 20 weeks i get the steroid shots Wednesday because she's little bitty:( it's sad and hurtful seeing it go on, I may hate her being in my ribs but I'd rather that than a 30 weeker

@cubanese aww 😄 just when it's time lol because I will spaz if they have to keep her😢 not not much longer though i get gold if IUGR is a factor in 4 weeks

@hermommy, people need to get their heads out of the clouds. Same way ppl had babies die from castor oil, do they see how many moms on here posting how they are having pre term labor and fighting to keep those babies inside? That's a slap in the face to those mothers too. The baby isn't even born and they're putting their comfort and feelings before their child.....that says a lot about a person.

@cubanese she is too real and I agree with everything she just said hell I wish I coukd go to 40+ weeks, I have to reason with my daughter everyday as to why she isn't ready yet.

Hence why ppl need to stop trying to force their babies out without medical cause! It's sickening. If you don't want to wait out the 40+ weeks, don't have sex and get pregnant. It's not about when you want the baby out. Ppl complain about being uncomfortable, tired etc. Let's see how tired and uncomfortable you are when your vagina hurts and you're bleeding with swollen breasts and a crying baby every 2 hrs. Deal with it! Tired of people getting mad that their doctor won't induce them at 37 weeks because they're tired of being pregnant. smh. I'm advocating for these babies and idc who thinks I'm judging them for wanting to self induce. Yep I'm judging. You're putting your baby at risk!

@lilanne1927,

@cubanese I hope so girl, castor oil needs to stop being thrown out there😢 that's why I'm so against it because watching her struggle and then getting that news was heartbreaking. id rather carrt past full term late term & whatever else than potentially hurt my baby in any way

Try sex,walking, bouncing on a ball or the side of your bed but please do not try castor oil

You're still kind of advocating for it saying it's ok. That's not right when people may accidentally take the wrong amount. @britt16 👋🏼

@cubanese it was Camiyha girl:/

If you go back and read you would see that I didn't recommend it. 😂😂. I said its perfectly fine to take if you take the right amount! Lmmfao. I'm done with y'all and this post. ✌️✌✌@vb95

@jnmich,

Oh man, you seem like a smart intelligent woman. I'm glad it didn't induce labor for you, that could've been very dangerous! It's refreshing to have someone take the advice we give on here to not attempt to take it again. @britt16 no just no, please stop recommending castor oil.

@arivera64 oh no I understood the minute she said you were being sarcastic what you were trying to say, Its dangerous either way which is why I only told her things that my OB says only softens the cervix and makes for easier labor, im not sure if it's true or not but my specialist said it only causes labor if baby is ready 😳

Well ladies there was a baby here who died because of it jut don't want it to happen to someone else @cubanese

If a doctor is telling you to try inducing, your doctor should be the one giving you induction tips instead of having you asking strangers. If your complications are that serious, your doctor would get that baby out! Either way, good luck to ya

👌👌@hermommy

@britt16 you try watching a baby struggle and eventually losing the battle over CASTOR OIL she was perfectly healthy until that then. You wouldn't want it reccomended either. But your opinion is yours just don't put others at risk.

lol @cubanese @hermommy my subliminal message is that there is alwats a risk to your baby's health when trying to make them come early. Even if you self induce in a safe way, if the baby isn't ready.....you run that risk. So if you don't agree with castor oil because your baby might die, then you shouldn't agree with taking a chance on forcing your baby out period. Especially when you aren't facing medical induction already, or at least are 38-39 weeks.

Some doctors will even recommend trying it.

@britt16 😊👌K

Lol okay. I know several people who took the right amount it says to when trying to start labor and the baby is perfectly fine and healthy. My mom did it with all three of her kids. People have their own opinions. @hermommy

@cubanese, it didn't really seem like she was being sarcastic in her comment though and even if she was its still shitty to suggest to someone to do something that could be potentially harmful just because she's tired of women trying to induce. my body my rights, and I'm only trying to induce because I've had on and off complications with my heart rate and blood pressure and my midwife would like me to go a more natural route first rather than jump straight to medicine.

@cubanese 😂 too funny lmao I'm glad now I know though next time I'll just laugh

@britt16 no it's not. it's not worth the risk

@jnmich they don't tell you the risk:/ that's the sad thing. I asked my specialist after the stuff with tater tot happened and he confirmed :(

Castor oil is perfectly fine to take if you take the right amount.

@cubanese ah👐👐👐👐 I've been trying to figure out which one your sister was lol I couldn't figure it out. No but I understand that

@fifimama, @hermommy

I never knew there were any risks taking it, my midwife is the one who suggested 😓

@jnmich please have your doctor check the baby, as Sweet Camiyha didn't make it. Castor oil is evil😢

Oh my god I tried castor oil this past week 😰 hopefully everything is fine... I'm so sorry to hear about that 💔

thank goodness😩👏👏👏 I about had a heart attack lol @cubanese
