Natural ways to induce labor?
I'm overdue..whats some natural ways to induce labor?
I've heard about nipple stimulation - tried it, didn't work..or I'm not doing it right..I am at the point now where I am miserable and sick of being pregnant..I want my baby out so I can return to normal and complete my family.
Please tell me how I do what you suggest because obviously my own blunders didn't work to well.
Thanks so much.

If you think you're miserable now just wait until 3 a.m. feedings, teething, toddling and potty training. Just when you get your bearings there you'll have grades, sports, school plays, tests, first loves, first heartbreaks, first dates, broken curfews and a lifetime of worry and wearing your heart outside your body. Then when you get them all grown and out of the house---they come back and bring spouses and children. LOL.
Seriously, don't be in such a hurry, babies come in their time, not your's or the doctor's. I was supposed to be a Halloween baby but didn't arrive until the last of November.
Sex is usually a good way to start or progress labor if you can handle it so late term. My sister made me walk for MILES when she was one day late with my nephew and that didn't do a thing so we rearranged all the furniture in the house. That finally sent her into labor but I think it was more my nephew taking pity on me. :) Don't try caster oil. Don't try to take anything, natural or man made, that people say induces labor.
By the way--you'll never be "normal" again. You'll be a mom and that's so much better than normal. Good luck and check out this video. You may find something that will help you and if not it's interesting information anyway.

Do NOT use castor oil.
It's dangerous, has miserable side-effects for you, and in the worst-case senario, can prove fatal for your infant.
You probably know you shouldn't be trying to induce. I sympathize with you, I really do. I'd want the damn thing out of me too! But induction should happen with your doctor present, in the controlled and informed enviroment of the hospital. Keep in touch with your doctor, get a second opinion if you want, and they will induce when it becomes nessicary.

Well- this is going to all sound real stupid but I promise it works.
Sex induces labor
Castor Oil (1 teaspoon)mixed with orange juice
Walking
Nipple Stimulation does work sometimes, it causes chemicals to go through the body because of the arousal which causes contractions.
Being that you are over due is there a reason that the doctor hasn't induced your labor in the hospital? They will use some medication on a string Pitocin (I am unsure of the spelling)and insert it in you, it starts dialation with an IV also.
Let me know if that helps.. if it doesn't let me know - sophia_pettus@yahoo.com
good luck!
