Inducing labour

Hi I know like many other pregnant lady's who are far on in there pregnancy's must be feeling huge and sore like me. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever used nipple stimulation to induce or even the breast pump and if it worked how long did they do it for etc. Also any other ways of naturally inducing that worked for you :)

Yep! Used it in my second pregnancy and it worked, but I was 40 weeks.
The week leading up to delivery I had a bath every evening and had expressed both sides for 10-15 minutes. I do think it helped. I was in 'slow' labour for a few days before.. strong BH, a lot of pressure in my lady garden. When it kicked off properly it was intense.. contracting every 2-3 minutes from the start..

From what I've heard it would take an incredible amount of stimulation to induce labour although if, like the PP, it's not your first and you can express I'd imagine that would help more.

Honestly, it's all pot luck really. I tried everything in the book but DS came in his own time. Good luck
