How to induce labor at 39 weeks?

In: Hospitals, How-To [Edit categories]

Answer:

I am 39 weeks pregnant today with my second child and want to know the same thing!!

With my first i tried castor oil at 39 and 40 weeks and just got the runs BIG TIME but no baby, also tried walking, bumpy 4wheeler rides, eating a whole pineapple and sex every day, but nothing happened.

At 40 weeks and 2 days i heard of acpressure and did that for 3 hours from 530 til 830 pm while watching tv. At 2am that morning i had my show, mild contractions all day then hard labour all night and the next day, had a healthy 9lb12 girl at 2pm the day after (36 hours start to finish).

This time i will get a sweep in 5 days time and take caulophyllum and do the accupressure, as my baby is already in the 9 pound mark and posterior...

Altho i will still do a bit of accupressure this whole week to hopefully dialate cervix a bit, and am taking EPO and inserting it "up there" every night.

Press the webby bit in between finger and thumb quite deep and hard for 1 minute and stop for a minute, do this for a few hours and it might work... or google it...
