At How Many Weeks Did You Girls Start To..

BurtonBaby · Mar 6th, 2008, 09:54 AM

Try home remedies to prepare for labor? I remember when the Nov-Dec girls were getting ready to go, everyone was trying curry, pineapple, raspberry tea leaf, sex... How far along were you all when you tried this? I'm hoping she wont be late, and I know that these wont work if your body isn't ready, but I'm hoping that my body will be! And I'm getting ready to start trying these things in preparation. Any advice? Thanks. =)

Gonna start drinking rlt at 35 weeks, although that's just to strengthen uterus.

If baby is still cozy at 40 weeks then I'll try natural induction attempts like sex, nipple stimulation, castor oil etc.

I used rasberry leaf tea from 35 weeks (hated the stuff I waited till it was cool held my nose & gulped it Down) I drank 4 cups a day....then from week 37 I had sex sex and more sex...my 1st labour was 4 hrs & my 2nd was 1 hr 10 mins I was 7 cms dillated when I got to hosp needless to say I will be starting the same at 35 weeks this time.

wow i think i might start drinking that stuff next week!

I should get on that stuff!!! Next week I'm going about the sex route though!!! Have to say, I'm super excited about that, seeing as I wasn't allowed to have sex earlier, due to an overactive uterus. Maybe that means that having sex just once will make LO come on out!!!

Nikky!

We have the same thing planned if the baby doesn't show up before then

. We're actually trying to have this baby on the weekend, even though I know the baby will come when h/she is ready but the weekend would be the best so my hubby doesn't miss a lot of work

.

Probably knowing our luck we only get to play once and we go into labor

Since Im one of those women that is absolutly not into sex while Im pregnant, my hubby has been a little deprived... so I told him that as soon as I hit 35 weeks or so we are going to sex route! I really dont want a late baby!

Where do you get raspberry leaf tea?
