 Topic: Bringing on Labour!!!!
Posted: 25 July 2006 at 1:45pm |
OK I know it is a little early for me, but I really want this baby out and so I thought it would be good to start a topic on this to get all you wonderful ladies input on how to get labour started. What worked what didn't that kind of thing.
Look forward to reading some of the idea's.

Hehehehe, even my midwife was reccomending sex to me the other day!
I just feel so huge and un-sexy at the moment, but if Hubby's keen and it'll help this little guy along.... hmmm.

Well,m we haven't been allowed sex, and last week when i saw midwife she said not til after i see her next (was going to wait until next week) but have been having what i thought was contractions last night so seeing her this week, do you think that means we can start having sex again and try get this baby out? For a first time mum, how early do you think is too early to try things?

I tried EVERYTHING! Lots of sex, hot curries, raspberry leaf tea, fresh pineapple (a doctor friend suggested that one!).... and nothing worked for me. Fun trying them all out though

I have heard that castor oil is goo too. I think you drink it? Can't remember. I wonder if there is a website that would have hints?

castor oil works for some gives diaroea (sp) to others, not really recommended -bit risky....i say stick with sex ...at least u wont get pregnant-and imagine if u DID! u could sell ur story to the tabloids and make a nice profit 
i tried running up and down steps, eating hot curries, drinking rasberry leaf tea, sitting on the washing machine on its highest speed (well i didnt have a partner all right?! lol)
nothing worked-she came when it suited her.
However my friend was due and she went to a party and some guy said "i bet if u jump off the bottom step ull go in to labour in the morning" she jumped and she did...hmmm

I drank castor oil - shudder. It was foul, and di nothing. If you insist on drinking it, mix it with really strong orange juice so you can't taste it as much. I have a bottle here if anyone wants it - seriously it's disgusting. (I'm sure you will all be PMing now with that splendid recommendation)
