Best inducing labour tips ladies !

[eviehodgson]

38 weeks pregnant and need this baby to budge ! What’s your best tips and tricks to get things moving. My baby girl needs evicting lol

I had a strong cappuccino !

Sex

Stewed dried apricots worked twice!

Nothing works (went to 42 wks twice). Just get some rest and sleep while you can you’ll need it later.

Jumping on a bouncy castle did it for me.

Baby was due to be born by elective c-section on the Monday, but after being bounced around on the Saturday afternoon, obviously thought "sod this - I'm outta here" and came on the Sunday. (Throwing our childcare arrangements for our daughter, into absolute chaos, when my waters broke at 5am!)

Dates
Apricots
And a long walk

over a two day period, I had acupuncture, held a friend’s baby, had Indian takeaway, got my hair and nails done and bingo - waters broke. So I don’t know which of these did the trick! Good luck

Relaxing. Baby won't come when you are stressed.

My colleague swears by pineapple. 3 times pineapple on her due date and within 24 hours she’s been in labour.

Don’t rush it! It could be in there fir another 3-4 weeks

Nipple play

Is it your first? I think you need to be patient, most babies dont come until their due date or after. My labour started after two sweeps at 41 weeks, a long walk and a curry

Nothing. If something 'worked' for someone, it didn't, they would have gone into labour anyway. Signed, someone whose babies had to be forcefully evicted after trying everything!

It does depend if your cervix is favourable anyway, which unless you've been advised baby needs to come now you won't have had a sweep to know.

Best of luck OP, the pp who said relaxed is right though!

Sorry to say, nothing will work until baby is ready.

My three were .... 41+6, 41+5 and 42+6
