The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[RainyMama]

When is the induction?

Ideas: raspberry leaf tea (won't bring on labor but tones the uterus so your contractions are more effective), nipple stimulation, sex with orgasm, acupuncture, foot reflexology, spicy food, eggplant Parmesan, blue cohosh tincture. That's all I can think of.
Try during the daytime to get in for some acupuncture, drink raspberry leaf tea often, then in the evening have sex and drink a glass of OJ with your castor oil.

Evening primrose oil is supposed to work when taken with zinc lonzanges (cold ease) I read to insert 2 600 EPO tabs vaginally and one lozange ( works better in evening time) . If your calcium deficient it may not work but worth a try!!


32 weeks here!! 19 pounds gained and my 13 hour shifts are starting to wear on me! I'm hoping to make it all the way to 40 weeks working high hopes.. I hate to leave my fellow nurses short staffed its hard enough being a correctional nurse worst being understaffed . I have TONS of BH do yall have those?

I had the odd BH since ~ 20 weeks from memory. Induction planned Tuesday (2 doses of prostin, unlikely to do much given early gestation and its my first bub), then syntocinon Wednesday. Tried acupuncture yesterday - seemed like not much to it (inserted a few needles, left me alone, came back in 20 mins and put a couple more needles in, charged me $75), no signs of labour being any closer, am thinking should have just spent the money on a massage instead!

On Monday it was 90, so it doubled.

I don't think so. The nurse said everything was normal. I go back June 28th for my first doctors visit. A little tired and nausea! Usually in the evening tho, cramps. That's about it I'm really bloated too lol.
