okay i am 40 weeks. My baby and I have done our time and it is time for her to come out !! i was really nervous about labor and giving birth but now i just cant wait for the contractions to start !! i've heard about drinking raspberry leaf tea and castor oil but does anybody know how i can trigger labor naturally ? i walk, i swim and i have sex and nothing seems to be working ! lol .. so if you guys know anything else i can do to bring this baby out please let me know. Thankyou =] love danielle xO

hey guys thankyou for all your responses .. i've been still just walking,swimming and having sex lol BUT my mucus plug has broken today so fingers crossed .. hopefully i will have a birth story for yous soon =] love dee xox

Only a pregnant lady will understand how exciting breakage of a mucus plug sounds..!!!
Good luck!!

heya,

i remember with my 3rd baby i was full term and it was my 23rd birthday and a song that i used to love when i was younger came on the radio

heya i did type out a full message but for some reason it only sent a bit of it sorry...

what i was trying to say was...dance...think beyonce, dont over do it just nice gentle movements but it really does work...well it did for me anyway

good luck i hope it all goes well for you

Hi Danielle.
Apart from the ways you have mentioned there is :

Eating loads of fresh pineapple or have a curry ( how about pineapple curry for tea tonight?!!!!- lol )

Nipple & areola stimulation ( massaging with palm of hand for 15 mins each hour )

Bouncing on a birthing ball or driving down a bumpy road.

Blowing up balloons! ( Theory is abdominal pressure encourages labour to start )

And if all that fails, put on your best knickers - your water is bound to break when your wearing your favourites!!!!!

Really hope something works for you.
Best of luck and dont forget to come back with your birth story to let us know how it all went xXx

rasberry leaf tea may work...i have also heard that eating pineapple could to the trick...

Warm baths aswell

Good luck hun, fingers crossed xxx
