Natural induction.

There's been so much controversy over women trying to induce there labor here on the app. Many women don't see why you are trying to induce labor if your due date hasn't even come and that it's selfish and so on. I personally just wanted to say that natural induction methods don't work unless the body is ready, I truly believe that. I go on walks, I've eaten pineapple, I have sex with my husband, I bounce on my ball, I eat spicy food (not to induce labor, I just love spicy food), I have danced. All the old wives tales I've pretty much done except for castor oil and guess what I'm still pregnant! Why? Because my body isn't ready. Women who go into labor after doing these things were going to go into labor anyway. It's a coincidence! I can guarantee what ever they did didn't put them into labor. If that was the case I wouldn't be pregnant still. So I just don't understand why so many people get so upset when they see women trying natural induction, because if your body and baby wasn't ready it wouldn't work. Plus none of these methods harm yourself or baby. Also personally I would rather naturally induce my labor than to have to be induced by medicine. Being induced by medicine increases your chances of c-section. Not that there is anything wrong with having a c-section or being induced sometimes those things can't be avoided but I'm sure most women would agree they would rather there body do it on its own. Yes 40 weeks is full term but to say a baby born earlier than that can't be just as healthy is naive. My sister was born at 37 weeks and I was born at 40 weeks and both of us were just as healthy. Only difference is my mom had to have a c-section because I was too big. There are women who are over 40 weeks who try and induce labor naturally and have no luck because there baby and body isn't ready! And they are full term! The point I'm trying to make is I wish people would stop jumping down the throats of others who try these natural methods because these methods don't work if the body isn't ready.
