@jnmich, don't listen to that CASTOR oil NOOOO!!!! but evening primerose oil is fine my doctor said so, and it only works for certain women's, but if I was you I'll wait til I'm 37 weeks
EPO doesn't actually help dilate, but instead ripens the cervix and helps it to thin out
Sex, bouncing on a ball or side or bed, dancing. I've heard bad things about the primrose oil and castor oil I'd research those more before trying them
once you reach 36 weeks , it's fine to do things to help dilate :) its dilation, not labor .. anywho! fresh pineapple, bouncing on a exerciseball, sex (semen) , walking !
Evening primrose oil supplement from walmart. Its about 5 dollars. Comes as a gell pill. Take one in the morning and one at night.
Allowing your man to ejaculate inside you, deep, as so the sperm gets to the cervix, it will help it soften and thin.
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...
!!!!LABOR STORY!!!!
Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions.
The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-...
Got to the hospital at 4 am to start my pitocin, well.. I was put on the drip at 430 am , and was 4cm dilated and 80 percent effaced, an hour later. The nurse came in to check me, hours later, and I was at 6 cm. I got the epidural at 6cm.. But it didn't work for me, no more than 20 minutes later, I couldn't take the pain, I was screaming and crying.. And felt everything.. most terrible pain ever, I called for my nurse to come in and she checked me again, said I was ready to deliver, babys head ...
Losing the baby
My sil is about 4 months along in her pregnancy and she starting bleeding really heavily so my dh took her to the hospital. He said she's dilating but hasn't texted back yet.
Contraction questions
I had a membrane sweep today. Before the sweep I was 3-4 dilated & 75% effaced.
I'm 37 weeks and have been in first stage labor for almost a week now. My midwife says it's completely safe for me to try natural methods of induction as she wants to avoid pitocin unless she would medically need to induce. She said the pitocin will only exhaust me because the contractions will come fast and hard, one after another. She says if there are no cervix changes by my next appointment (next Tuesday) that we will try evening primrose oil. Thank you everyone for all of the tips! @ktwins188 @gingermama @muvah.earthh @wyatts_mommy_0106 @arivera64 @msbeautiful04
