I hope these tips help you! Which tip sounds the most fun to you?? ;)
Can you add English subtitles, please? Thanks! I am trying to induce naturally home before my due date this Thursday!
@@mariannemo I just realized they're in Korean! No idea how that even happened 😂 Working on it now!
Bridget Teyler hahaha great! thanks
I’m scared to try castor oil but it’s literally my last resort . Can you recommend any tips ? I’m just afraid it could go wrong
@@shayb6440 I hope this isn't coming to you too late. You can always try a smaller dosage to see how your body reacts! Eat and drink often but not so you're so full, and foods that are easy to keep down.
So idk if it was a combination of things or what but yesterday I was 39 weeks and 5 days. Used my birth ball a lot during the day just because it helped my hip pain. Went for a long walk. And made the midwives tea (unique flavor btw lol). Went to bed around 10. Woke up the next morning at 5 with painful contractions. Got to the hospital at 7 was already 6 cm dilated!! Delivered by 9! First baby too. It went by so quickly.
*update* just had my second baby 18 months later (close age gap I know). Followed everything I did the first time. Total labor this time around??? 1 hour 9 minutes!!!!! Ladies I’m telling you walking is literally the best thing!!! If you are not high risk and it is safe for you to do (I’m aware walking is not safe for all pregnancies I’m just sharing what worked for me) just walk. I only did 30 minutes this time around a couple times a week. I also have a 18 month old who kept me plenty busy my whole pregnancy but I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. My baby was born 40 weeks and 1 day at 6.9 lbs. My water broke at 1232 am along with my mucus plug. Got to the hospital at 1255 he was born by 1:09 am.
I hope to have your luck, I'm currently pregnant and terrified!!!
afrah quadri walking a lot helps! My doctor told me going on my daily walks is what really made the difference in my labor. I’d walk around 5 days a week for about 30-45 minutes depending how I was feeling. Really helped especially during this pandemic just getting out for a walk is refreshing.
Hi when did you start drinking the tea and using the ball? I need to have this baby right before 39w2d (csection) I’m going for a VBAC and have reasons why I can’t go past 39 weeks. Any advice would be appreciated.
Meg hey! So I started using the ball I think I ordered it around 38ish weeks (maybe 37) to really help with my hip pain to start but I started using it every day just for normal stuff like if I was watching tv I’d do hip circles on the ball instead of sitting on the couch. I made the midwives tea at 39 weeks 4 days. Drank it that night. And the next morning was in full labor didn’t even realize it until I got to the hospital I was already 6 cm dilated. I also walked almost every day which my doctor said really helped as well as ate the dates every day.
Maggie Parr thanks for the reply! I need to have this baby before my scheduled csection by 39 weeks so I’m hoping to start the tea by 38 weeks or so ! I ordered a yoga ball too! Thanks for the tips
1. Let go of fears
2. Hypo birthing/affirmations/meditation: body will follow mind
3. Exercise/be active
4. Birth ball
5. Acupressure (shin and hand) a couple of minutes every couple of hours
6. Nipple stimulation:5 min each side with 5 min break in middle for half hour: should be enjoyable
7. Essential oils: Clary sage and rosemary
8. Castor oil: 1 tbs every 24 hrs; stay hydrated bc of side effects
9. Midwives brew drink (recipe on video)
10. Sex
It always bothers me when castor oil is recommended because it can cause baby to have a bm in utero and the brew has castor oil as well.
@@HisSnuggleBear18 there is no sufficient evidence proving that castor oil causes babies to pass meconium especially when taken in small amounts like suggested in this video. There is, however, sufficient evidence to suggest that babies with an older gestational age or that are in distress are more likely to pass meconium. Typically, people trying castor oil are already “overdue” and are already more likely to have that happen. It’s a coincidental thing, not necessarily linked to the castor oil. I delivered at 41+5 with my first who passed meconium. I never tried castor oil.
@@HisSnuggleBear18 baby's also have bms with no castor oil consumed lol. It's not because of the castor oil, it doesn't even transfer to the baby
🐐
@@raynecopeland9256 I agree! First baby was 41 weeks and passed meconium no castor oil. 2nd baby 40 weeks no poop. 3rd baby 40+5 plus castor oil passed meconium. All were fine and released a day or two after delivery.
Hi Bridget! I just wanted to say that your videos have helped me a lot during labor and delivery. I did most of these tips and the birthing ball exercises you've recommended and had active labor pains within 2hrs and had a normal delivery 5hrs after. My birthing experience was so much better this time around, thanks to your tips! ♡
As a future father, I watched this video a few times to help my lady the best I can. Thank you
❤️
Love this!! So cute! Lol congratulations to you both!! 🎊
Aww, that's so thoughtful
GO DAD
If you’re not 37 weeks or more PLEASE do NOT try to induce yourself. You are not full term!!! Also, baby will come when they’re ready to come. Don’t force your baby to do anything it’s not ready to do. Exercise is the only thing i would suggest. Walk!
Miracle Mincy ACOG defines full term as 39 weeks, so I agree, baby will come when they’re ready! Also, labor is proven to be shorter when baby comes on their own!
I'm 42weeks and he just ain't ready,,,so will he just not come on his own?
I am 37 to 38 weeks can I induce my labor pain.. plzz tell something
@@vijayalakshmiabimannan9435 If you're in pain, see your midwife. I had SI joint pain throughout my pregnancy and saw a chiropractor, used a hot rice sock, bath tub, sat on an exercise ball to relieve pain. You're in the home stretch!
@@littleblueprintwritinghood192 Where I'm from you would've been induced already. They do it at 41 weeks, 42 big big top otherwise there is more risk of complications from what I understood.
Bridget, your videos have been a treasure trove of forbidden knowledge! I've always been terrified of having a baby, and you've given me such confidence with my upcoming birth- I can't thank you enough. Peace, love and light to you!
How did she not even say thank you to this generous donation and words 😮😮😮
@@GH-bb6uf probably because this video came put over 3 years ago and this donation was only last year. I'm sure she is great full.
Meet baby? More like “Get this baby out of me!” Let’s be real here.
Lml
😂😂🤣 so true!
Sooooo soooo true.... Hahahaha
Ha ha
Exactly!!
She saved the best for last LOL !!!! This video was fun, tons of info, and very calming to listen to. Thank you for this definitely put my mind at ease.
Bridget I'm here to say thank you,all the way from Kenya. I was following your chanel closely and ooh my,had a positive birth experience because of everything I learnt from you. Thank you 🙏🏾 my body listened to my brain 🧠 you're a gem. I hope other women, especially First time moms find your chanel.
I’m 39 weeks today with the worst back pain!! 😩😩 will be trying whatever I can to get this labour started.
Your videos alone make me feel at ease about childbirth.
You are absolutely delightful to listen, watch and learn from. May your days always be sunny and bright and how lucky your birthing moms are !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clary sage oil sped up my slowing labour, avoided the drip! Very happy about that. It helped 2 of my friends into labour
Thanks so much for those great tips! I am 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant and while a week ago I was like please stay in, now I am way too excited for her to finally lay in my arms. Let's get this started! :)
Wow am 39 weeks 7 days as well can’t wait dear
How are you????
Seriously love your videos. I found your channel a couple weeks ago. Your videos are so supportive and informative. Thank you! I'm almost 36 weeks pregnant and can't wait to meet my baby body.
I love hearing that, but more than anything I love helping mamas like you out! Any questions I can help answer for you?? Send them my way!
"Labor Cocktail" worked amazing!
My water broke at 40 weeks in the middle of the night, no contractions before or after.
Went to my midwives the next day and we spent alot of the day trying different exersizes and natural ways to get contractions going, and nothing.
Eventually, we whipped up the nasty beverage and we sat in the family room relaxing and exactly an hour later I got my first contraction.
It was the best buildup to birth ever, just sat back and watched documentaries with ny husband and brought take out for supper, waiting to be dilated enough and baby was born 4.5 hours after that first contraction, it was great and im so thankful.
The birthing ball worked. I tried doing that one evening... When I was about to go to bed.. Labor started.. And it progressed really fast. Total labor 7 hours
How long did you do it for ? I am 37 weeks and 7 days and got the green light from my doctor due to pain and baby making me dehydrated plus I am ready I can barely walk lol
@@tia4680 oh pelvic pain? I had that... So much pain. For me I just sat on it all night until about 3 am. Just watching tv.
Besides doing the ball, did you also get induced at the hospital?
@@memembi nope. I was already 6cm dilated when I reached the hospital. It was game time before I knew it.
Lol I’ve been bouncing on my ball every day for weeks, I’m 39+6 STM and still pregnant
Honestly I’m 38 week pregnant and feel great lol I’m just praying all things go well. I’m grateful for the breathing techniques and I’m going to try without meds
Dear Bridget, during my pregnancy I watched your videos on youtube and practiced with you. I gave birth 6 weeks ago and it was a beautiful experience. 3 hours after arriving at the hospital I had already given birth to a healthy, beautiful baby boy. The pain started at night around 4, at 5 my water broke, at 7 I was in the hospital, at 10 the boy was born. I followed your breathing exercises. Doula was beautiful, she led me through labor in a relaxed way and just said that I need to breat calmly and bring air to my stomach as hard as possible. I gave birth in a couple of push ups. No epidural and no injuries. My doula told me when to push and when to stop, which is why I didn't have any injuries, and this was my first birth! Thank you so much❤️
I hv done all efforts including caster oil but pain😂
@@khurramansar2312 don't ingest castor oil it could kill ur baby
How wonderful
What a fantastic video! I am so glad I found your channel, you have such fantastic advice and make everything so easy to understand. I really appreciate your well-educated holistic approach. This is my second baby but being reminded of all these is things is super helpful. Thank you!
I'm exactly 38 weeks and have an induction booked at 41 weeks but want to do anything to avoid it so I can have a natural birth! Going to start trying these asap!
How did it go? Did you need an induction at all?
39+1 and I'm so ready to meet our baby girl and get my body back 😩😩 xx
Any stretch marks
The reason I prefer to give birth at week 37 is the fear of stretch marks
@@rosea164I’ve had stretch marks for weeks, it depends on your body and genetics- not how long you’re carrying your baby.
@BeingShari
I'm almost 38 weeks
No stretch marks so far
My mom had them
I have heard people can get them literally the last week of pregnancy
Have a month left with my first and im just binging your vids! Thank you so much for so all of your videos!!!
Thank you for your passion, wisdom and enthusiasm. You are doing noble work in your community.
Great videos, I am in Germany and took a birthing class, they also said dates and raspberry leaf tea is good.
I just want to say your videos helped me a lot! Exercise and dates made my labor fast and easy at 39 weeks and 5/7 days . Also hydration and relaxation
This video was perfect! I'm at 38 weeks right now and can't wait for baby!
Wow!! You're so close! Literally ANY DAY now! How've you been feeling??
@@BridgetTeyler hey, thanks for all this information. I really like your vids. I REALLY like when you say "hey mommas!"
Excellent tips 👍
38 weeks 5 days and struggling with pelvic pain. It's better since going to the chiropractor but I am still so limited with my mobility it makes me nervous for labor. My first pregnancy was smooth and pain free, minus normal birthing pains. This pregnancy was smooth until month 7 when the groin pain started and got bad fast.
Yeppp this is me exactly. I’m 40w 1 day. The pelvic pain for me also started at the end f pregnancy- was a perfect normal pregnancy up until this point! But bet has also been head down since the first ultrasound & she has not changed positions. It is hard to walk as the evening comes - the day it is doable but not pain free completely.
Same! Second baby and have pelvic pain. I'm 35 weeks 5 days pregnant now. Going to chiropractor this week... and going to start doing all of these things at 37 weeks because I'm so over being pregnant😅
39weeks 1 day had my bloody show yesterday and continued today ,feeling period pains , giving some of the tips ago thank you .
Loved this video! 😄👏🏻👏🏻
Cheering on a friend of mine who is almost at 41 weeks with her 2nd baby (first one also took her sweet time!) She is really hoping Not to be induced 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I shared this video with her and just finished watching it myself. Hoping we will go walking together tomorrow 🤰
Just want to thank you Bridget. I watched your videos and did most of your tips and just like magic, it worked and I got through my first delivery which was normal and short (5hrs). You are a life saver! Bless you and hope you can help more mommas ❤️
Starting my 39th week, will definitely start doing some of these before the end of the week!! REALLY not wanting to be induced!!
I’m 39 weeks as of today and here for the same exact reason😂😂
SAME
Im 39 weeks and 5 days 🥺 and DO NOT want to be induced. It's my first baby. I wanna do it as naturally as possible
@@MJ-jq4kc how did it go ?
I love your videos thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I'm 41 weeks now... hoping and praying for my baby to come out anytime soon. Can't do no. 10 though because my husband is a frontliner and we're currently miles apart.
How did it go??? I'm almost 41 weeks. We're you induced? CSection? Big baby? Healthy baby?
I will be trying all of these induction tips starting 37 weeks. I typically wouldn’t so early but I’m scheduled for either an induction or C-section depending on size scans around 34 weeks. My youngest son was almost 10 lbs and I’m tiny only 4”11. Luckily we both had a safe and healthy delivery, but he was born with shoulder dystocia, so we think his little brother is walking in his footsteps already weighting in at 4lbs at 30 weeks 91 percentile! They predict him to be another 10 lbs. To avoid the scary experience we had with his brother, it’s safer to be induced at a younger gestational age. Being a mom of 4, walking, essential oils, yoga and all natural ways are very safe to do as early as 36. They don’t necessarily induce, but more of a body preparation for when you are ready to naturally labor. I wouldn’t suggest Castro oil or nipple stimulation, as those can be dangerous and causes distress on the fetus. So, unless you receive the green light from your doctor, avoid.

I'm definitely gunna ask my doctor I'm turning 38 weeks next week 😁👏 I'm already exercising and very active I don't want to be induced 😵
I would also like to thank you for all the videos you post. It helped me through my first pregnancy and now I’m watching your content all over again with my second.
38 weeks and ive started going for walks small ones and my doctor loves the idea of exercising
I am 38+2 today too! Good luck with the labor. :)
I live in central Europe and it’s not really commonly used by midwives. We even don’t have such ingredients in grocery shops ;) but the castor oil is used sometimes ;) love your videos during my first time journey!
I heard the version of it with peanut butter and orange juice instead of almond butter and apricot juice 😊 but I'm not gonna try it anyway, sounds awful 😅
I’m at almost 40 weeks and NOTHING is working. I am so ready for him to be out, my body hurts all the time and sometimes he makes me anxious like when I can’t feel him and then suddenly he has hiccups
when did you end up giving birth? Im the same at 40 weeks tomorrow
@@RapunzelASMR three days from 40 weeks. Nipple stimulation was what did it. Literally just after watching this video I put myself into active labor
@@xLadyBanana oh nice I wa splanning to do that tonight :)I got a breast pump. For how long did you do it?
@@RapunzelASMR I only did for a couple of minutes, but that can vary
Baby due tomorrow sooooo want these to work 😁😁😁🤗 can't wait to meet my little boy!
You are the best. Thank you 💚

Oooo YAY!!! Where are you located??
@@BridgetTeyler I'm in the Salt Lake City, UT area. :)
I am 35 w pregnant and will be needing this video soon. LOL I started my own channel so we will see if any of these help me and I can share them.
Taking down notes as I watch! Can't wait to try some of these tips in my 37th week. Thanks for sharing ❤
I think one should not try any kind of induction until at least 39 weeks.
Thanku thanku ....u r soooo helpful ...u picked perfect career for u !
All your videos are so friendly and useful! 38 weeks today and so ready to pop and meet my first son 😍😍
Just ordered the exercise ball from your link.
I watched this video on a Friday night when my baby was 39w6d, I wanted to start labor, not wanting to be overdue or induced, I tried the tips, and I had my blood show on Saturday morning, my contraction started mild from Saturday morning, and getting stronger and stronger, I went to hospital to check to Check on Saturday night but only 1cm dilated so I was sent back, however, my contraction didn’t stop, it increased from Saturday midnight till Sunday noontime, it was very painful by Sunday noontime so I called and went to hospital, when I arrived hospital I was checked and told I was 7cm dilated! 4hours later, I had my cutest baby in my arm. I used the breathe techniques that Bridget taught and it worked. Bridget had informative and great videos, thank you Bridgett! ❤
I am currently 39 weeks and 2 days but Monday I was told that my cervix is hard and closed 😭😭😭
My due date is this Saturday and I just had my last appointment. I’ve been dilated 2cm for weeks now. I hope he comes this week but we set a inducing date for next Wednesday just in case!
Did the baby came out in time
I'll be coming back to this come August!!
Don’t use caster oil it can kill the baby
I’m due on the 14th was given the green light for inducing 😊😊 good luck momma
@@angm9699 you as well 😊
I think your awesome!!! God bless you
I need this for next month

DON'T TAKE THE MIDWIVES BREW.
I was exactly 41 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I was scared of being induced so I decided to make this brew. One hour after drinking it, I had diarrhea, nausea and a storm of contractions. This storm of contractions never stopped, it lasted until the birth, which was exhausting and painful. My birthing experience was pretty traumatic, partly due to this brew and other factors. I advise all of you to avoid this brew. I truly regret taking it. From a new mom based in The Netherlands's.
Thx for sharing ❤️
It's really informative
Thank goodness iam not alone, 39 weeks and 2 days. Ive been doing all these mentioned except caster oil. Hoping to meet my baby soon hopefully in a few days time
I've worked in L&D for 20 years. We love birthing balls and peanut balls ( birthing balls shaped like a peanut) for our laboring moms. They do wonders to open the pelvis and allow baby to get into position for birth.
Katz Women's Hospital in NYC doesn't provide peanut balls unfortunately
My midwife said that castor oil is dangerous because it may work but if it makes your stomach run its likely to make babies tummy run and them pooing in the womb can be extremely dangerous for them so i would rather stay away from castor oil but the other tips sound great. Thank you for this and for all your other videos :)
Its seems women at 40+ weeks have a higher chance of baby passing pooh than one taking 1tbsp of castor oil! I’ve done it and other women I know have done it and baby came out great! No pooh, But if ur midwife said don’t do it I agree YOU shouldn’t do it!! 😊
You are right. Castor oil is really not the best idea
Used castor oil with great success for my 10 day over due baby. (Previous baby went 42+6) so I took matters into my own hands. My sister did it with equally happy results
Amazing video thanks
Hey ,you guys are really lucky to have nurse and family members that can help and encourage you I live in Jamaica and your all by yourself it's really stressful ,I love your videos
I used clary sage with my first baby plan to use it again I rubbed it into my abdomen as well as took a bath with it I swear by that stuff!! Fun fact clary sage was used back in biblical times as a natural induction like pitocin. Not only does it help labor not hurt as much it helps relax the body and it makes contractions become consistent and powerful and over all it’s an amazing thing to use and get everything moving. I also did diffuse it in the hospital while in labor and it helped the entire process I will be using it again for baby #2 which is coming up and I’m glad you know about this amazing product but anyone watching this video understand clary sage should only be used when baby is full term because it is very effective and you don’t want to force labor when baby isn’t ready ! Also last fun fact pitocin comes from the root of clary sage oil clary sage is a natural pitocin it gets the oxytocin chemicals in labor to start producing at a higher level.
That’s awesome! I didn’t know it was used in the Biblical times
How to use Clary sage i am currently in 37 weeks ready to have this baby out
Hi! I have a question about exercise.
I have a lot of pain on my lower back when I walk, it's been like this since first trimester. Is there anything I can do for that? I really love walking
Hi Bridget, your videos are really nice with lots of info.... now in week 31 of pregnancy what exercises should I do?
Best labor tips
I’m over by 2 days and I’m over it already 😂😂😂
39+5 and sooo ready! Previous baby died at birth so it’s been a long two years waiting to have a health baby to love and hold.
I hope all went well with your birth ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss 💔 May your sweet baby be with Jesus! I hope and pray all went well with this delivery 💕
Bridget! I love your videos! I tried clicking on the Amazon link for the induction kit, and it took my to Amazon but wouldn't let me view any of your lists. I know when I tried a couple list last week it worked. I was hoping they aren't taken down or private now. I thought you had mentioned Evening Primrose oil and was hoping to see which one you recommended!
I love it!
Currently 37 weeks I’m so ready for this boy to be outtttt
I've been doing so many things to get our baby girl out... 40 weeks tomorrow with my third pregnancy. I've been active during my whole pregnancy (walking, yoga, bycicle), tried acupuncture, drank rasberry leaf tes, ate dates, had sex, been sitting on the ball for weeks, baby is in perfect position... We tried to do a membrane sweep today and I was only 1.5cm dilated and 50% effaced, she didn't manage to do the sweep. With my son and daughter I was way more effaced and dilated at the same time in pregnancy. I'm getting desperate.
I’m 40 weeks tomorrow with my third pregnancy 😂!! How did everything go for you mama?
How would you know that castor oil of effective? How many hours will it take effect? And how many days is it safe to drink it?
I'm definitely trying these in 3 weeks!
Just do ginger tea it’s the safest
Midwives brew helped me. I drink it at 8pm, my water broke on its own at 3:30am and my son was born at 7am. I didn’t even know I was in labor until my water broke.
Wwooo how many weeks were you?
Eve Simon 38w 5d
Was it your first baby?
how to make that?
What is midwives brew?
I’m 38+3 days and I’m ready for labor to start. I only have 11 days left, praying for patience 😄🙏🏽 as this is my first! I had cerclage removed at 37 weeks and thought she would come out immediately, but she’s comfortable.
Same here, cerclage removed at 37w..expecting labour
Hey! Love watching your videos. Your shirt is amazing! Share a link?😊
Very nice tips
My ob told me not to use prim rose oil and I feel she’s against “natural remedies” I am currently 33 weeks
Can't wait for a video on birthing balls! Please do that one next! Thanks for the vids!
It's coming soon, mama!
@@BridgetTeyler when is the best weeks to start this natural labor exercise? I'm 30weeks now
Today is my due date !! And he doesn’t seem to want to come out, I get sort of uncomfortable contractions at night but that’s about it with my first born she came 5 days earlier. I had my appointment on Friday but due to the Texas weather they cancelled all appointments I really wanted the dr to check if I was even dilated a bit let’s hope these work for me cause I am ready :(
I will let you know when I try one.
Hi Bridget, Dakalo from South Africa here
We need more doulas like you ma'am please

I wish I could do the exercise thing, but I have had severe PGP for the past few weeks. After seeing the Chiropractor, I can now walk for about 5 minutes before getting into pain.
Thank you so much for these tips!
39 weeks here - just want other moms to know that walking isnt easy for me, and hasnt been for a while. Even going very slow I experience round ligament pain/back pain and really struggle. I find light barre blend exercises combined with strength training much much easier on my body.
I also have very bad pelvic pain and get so frustrated when my mom and grandma keeps telling me to go on walks when i literally just cant
This! This is exactly what I’m going through right now and I’m only 36 weeks atm 😭 people keep telling me “you need to push thru it to get used to it!” But It’s been so difficult for me to adjust
This all sounded fine until the castor oil. Don’t do that people
Agreed, as a doula we should never be recommending caster oil. That’s something only a midwife should be doing and even then most agree it’s not a safe practice.
Why no castor oil?
It can cause dangerous contractions that aren’t actually related to labor.

What’s your take on raspberry leaf tea or dates for Vbac mom ?
At 9days over I took the Midwives brew at the suggestion of my midwife. It was a little different of a recipe than yours, but I took it at 12pm and delivered my son at 7:17pm.
I'm on team Midwives Brew 😄
lol there are so many women in my expectant mothers forum on babycenter that think drinking the midwives brew to induce is a selfish, terrible idea. I didnt even know what it was until i watched this video and it doesnt even seem that bad. i might try it
I took it when I was considered full term. And had him 8 hours later. With this one I’ll prob wait another week or two before doing it again.
@Summer Robinson so many parent forums are full of dummies
I’m 37 weeks and can’t let go of the fear of this virus it’s been making me so nervous and scared :(
Same :'(
I'm 38 and feel similar! You keep isolated and don't let anyone bully you into seeing the baby til you're ready! I don't plan on letting anyone visit for quite some time!!
Same. I'm going to be 37 weeks tomorrow
same here! im 36 weeks
@@severinom40 36 weeks too
Can I substitute peach for apricot? Can't find apricot juice anywhere
Thank you for your video I will be 40 weeks tomorrow hopefully baby will be ready soon
Hi Bridget, thanks for your video! What about membrane sweep? Opinions/experiences?
Giulia Lar I had mine swept after my due date passed and it sent me into natural labor that day 😊 was so glad they didn’t have to induce me!
I had one with my 3rd son as they were talking induction. Wasn't prepared for the fact it hurt a bit 🙄 son was born that night though. Will be having one after 37 weeks (this week) with baby number 4, as they (Oncologists) are talking induction at 38wks *sigh*
Great tips!!!! I’m 37 weeks now
Just a word of warning to anyone wanting to try the labor cocktail.
**trigger**
It works. Really well. The contractions started 2 hrs after I drank it and started hard and fast. My placenta started to abrupt and we both almost died. I don’t recommend. Please don’t do this. And I didn’t even vomit or have diarrhea. Just very violent contractions. Please please just wait for natural labor if you can or ask your doctor to induce you.
How about a previous C section, is it safe to drink red raspberry tea leaf?
What size of the birth ball do you suggest? They start at 45 cm and jump 10 cm per size (45,55,65 etc).
I’ve tried almost everything in this video & here I am on my due date still pregnant. Castor oil doesn’t work. I had a whole bottle & still no dehydration, no diarrhea, no vomiting. Baby still moving perfect fine.
Literally laying in bed depressed because I’m tired of being pregnant. I want this baby out of me now.
