One week left ! Bring on the old wives tales.

Tonight I'm starting with the old wive tales. Sex, spicy food, acupressure. Pretty much anything to try and bring on babygirl !

A friend of mine knows acupuncture and is going to come over tomorrow and help me out! Tonight it's spicy food and DTD..not really 2 things that go together but I'll make it work.
A family friend of mine swears that the one thing that put her in labor with all 3 of her kids was a cup of green tea with 3 tea bags in it she chugged it and within hours was in labor. Figure if I add that in it won't hurt anyone!

Another friend of mine swears that dtd was the thing that got her labour going. Can't help to try them all! Xx

don't forget the lots of walking and nipple stimulation! The night I went into labor with DD, I had walked over 3 miles, and had sex, which resulted in orgasm. Nipple stimulation and orgasm have been known to work for some because they both contract the uterine muscles, which can help jumpstart labor. Good luck! Hope it happens for you soon. Those last weeks are always the toughest!

Good luck! Tip with pineapple: it has to be fresh, and you'll need to eat the whole thing. Be careful eating it all at once because the acid will burn your tongue and it's a long shot. I ate 2 whole over 3 days with my last and still had to be induced

I want to start some of the remedies but i feel like I can do almost all of them! LOL cant eaty spicy food due to the terrible acid, cant have sex because it just doesnt work anymore, cant do alot of walking because of my monster swollen feet. agh. Im hoping I have some good news tomorrow at my Dr appointment!!

The day I had my son (at 35+5) I had:

Reflexology the day before
Had eaten a pineapple
Had a slightly more vigourous gym session
Had done the weekly supermarket shop (cue heavy trolley etc).
Had a slightly hotter than usual bath.

I didn't do any of these things in hope of bringing on labour btw!
