[happynewmom1]

Just had some! Will let you all know if something happens!

Good luck ladies i realy hope it works for you but it is like every "oldwifes tail" some will work for some and not for outhers.

I am going to try the cinnamon in the RLT as soon as i hit 37 weeks and may be drink it in a hot bath with clary sage in it just for that bit extra push.

Edit: i have just found this old post from some one that tryed the tea and it worked

Oh dear.... well theres hope for the cinnamon sticks!! keep us updated!

Nothing here either....it gave me diarrhea last night though. I may try it again today and see as it did intensify a couple of my contractions but I didn't do much to help them along so maybe will have it and then go walking and see if something happens. Also....my advice is if any of you try it - make hot chocolate and then put the cumin in a coffee filter or whatever you have and soak that for 5 min or so..it takes the edge off the cumin and tastes better! I didn't throw up or have any heartburn from it...just thr diarrhea so wasnt that bad for me really.

Dont forget to buy some prunes aswell to munch with your tea - also has castor oil effect .Ya mayaswell!xxx

Are you going to try pineapple as well? I think that sounds like the least effective, yet tastiest option out there.

I eat pineapples regularly anyway so wouldn't be anything my body isn't used to xx

 

[LegoHouse]

You have to eat 7 whole pineapples in one go. I made it to two with my last pregnancy. Didn't do anything except burn my tongue!!

 

[beth_terri]

Lol I always get ulcers when I eat them.

Well, been and bought some cinnamon sticks, some cumin seeds (used ground before), and a breast pump for stimulation haha. I've had a teeny weeny bit of a sore bump (now turning into period crampy things) today and the odd weird back spasm so we will see if this does any good. I'll have a cup of cinnamon tea now then probably have a cumin hot chocolate before bed! Xx

 

[Excited4First]

Great, let us know how it goes. For the breast pump, how long are you doing each breast? I have a manual one that I haven't opened because I wasn't sure I would be using it.. but I may open it to give nipple stimulation a go in a couple weeks.

 

[beth_terri]

Uugghh cinnamon tea tastes worse than cumin tea!!!

Think I'm gona have to give up on the tea trying!

I'm not sure how long to do nipple stimulation for? Xx

 

[NewlyMrs]

Oh I am sooo jealous that I am not 37 weeks yet... I love trying new things

 

[happynewmom1]

Well I tried the cumin tea again today and didn't do anything....no diarrhea even. Won't be trying anything else I don't think. We walked for 2 hours around the zoo and had some contractions. Hoping all of this helped at least dilate me a little for the induction tomorrow! Good luck ladies!

 

[NewlyMrs]

Good luck for you too xx

 

[tmr1234]

I so want to try the RLT with cinnamon & cumin.

Good luck for your induction
