OK so there's all the wives tales and suggestions for natural labor induction...
Here's an article on 40 Natural Ways to Induce Labor
So far, I'm trying the Red Raspberry Leaf tea (started around 35 weeks), Evening Primrose Oil capsules (started around 37 weeks), foot massages (went for a pedicure and going for a foot spa), prenatal massage (will have them "stop" avoiding the pressure points at 39 weeks), bouncing on the ball, lots of baths, planning to walk more, chiro to keep alignment nice
I know nothing will cause labor but once my body is ready a bunch of these things can make it go smoother and I'm all about that since I'm scared out of my mind. The RRL tea is supposed to make your uterus stronger for more effective contractions, the EPO is supposed to soften the cervix to help it out, the accupressure is supposed to cause contractions, bouncing on the ball is supposed to open the hips, walking helps the baby get into position and the chiro keeps my hips and pelvis aligned for a smoother delivery.
OK, I'm ready for you Babelet. Comeout comeout whenever- (ps i'd rather sooner than later!)
