Lush bath bomb to induce labour?

Anyone have any opinions on using the sex bomb bath bomb to induce labour? I’ve been told by a few people that it worked for them. 38+1 and I’m ready for bubs to arrive now. 3rd baby and getting tired lol. I don’t want to try things like castor oil and I can’t try the raspberry tea or things like that. So does the bath bomb work and what other things can I try to get this little madam moving

In what way will a bath bomb induce labour?

Acupressure works. You have to see someone properly qualified though. Never heard of a bathbomb to induce ...

I'm assuming all it gives you is thrush but....

The bath bomb has both clary sage and jasmine in it, which apparently can help induce labour. I thought it sounded funny too but apparently it has worked for some women.

A bath bomb! Do you eat it?

Sex? I wouldn’t have and I don’t think I’d want a bath with something like that tbh prior to giving birth. I just walked and walked and walked with my 2 youngest little ones that seemed to get things moving and the birthing ball too.

Your baby will unfortunately come when it’s ready. Just because someone used a bath bomb and went into labour it doesn’t follow that the onset of labour was caused by a bath bomb.

This made me giggle

It used to contain clary sage which can induce labour (which is why its to be avoided) but it only contains jasmine now which will strengthen what's already happening 🤔 I believe (not an expert)

It still has clary sage oil in

I’d second the acupressure points.

This is reminding me of when my Granny's friend died and my Granny decided that she was going to eat an onion raw every day as that's what her friend had done and she had lived to be 85.

Then my dad pointed out that my Granny was 87 and hadn't eaten a raw onion every day so should just stick to her ordinary diet.
