Tea, tablets sex and everything else


Im really starting to consider it now, i wasnt going to, wanted to let him come out on his own but im so worried he will go voer xmas and i will be taken away from the kids.

I had to go to hospital last night just to be monitored coz he wasnt moving much atall yesterday and while i was there they did an examination....my cervix is closed and very far back so im no where near ready, kind of dissapointed me alot.

Soooo what kind of things will help my cervix ripen! does the rasberry tea and tablets do that? or does it just bring on labour if your cervix is ready....also, does sex help to ripen ytour cervix, or again, will that only help if and when your cervix is ready?

lots of googling today! lol

Loved the subject line reminded me of my dinner, ball, sex, pineapple blah blah thread & I just thought "she gives up"

The tea as far as I could read Layla it just helps your cervix doesn't actually bring on labour. Theres so much info on one little thing Im scared what to and not to try ... so have stuck with pineaplle tea and sex.

yeah im scared to try things too, i dont wnat to start labour, only to get my cervix ready, on Coby at this stage he was fully engaged and my cervix was soft and thin, altho far back.
At the mo my cervix is doing nothing, thick, closed and far back and he is only 2/5 engaged which is nothing!

I just want to do things to bring it down and soften it up, then labour can start when its ready
