So I thought that my baby Zoiey would be here by now, But I was soooo wrong! As with my other kids I am overdue, over tired and ready to welcome her! My bags are packed room is ready! And have tried all the methods to naturally induce this labor! AND I MEAN EVERYTHING!
Castrol oil, spicy food, long LONG WALKS, herbs, spices, nasty teas if you can look it up I have done it. Sex with the hubby is out because my plug has come out and the midwife doesnt want to risk infection. Is there any tried and true methods that May help? I am scheduled for another induction on Monday with Pitocin, and really do not want to go through that as I have heard its rough, and I dont plan on medication during my birth! The origional induction that I was scheduled for was waitlisted due to other moms overfilling and delivering on that day.. Please help, although I dont know what else I can try! Thanks in advance!

Yes the midwife stripped my membranes a while ago but gladly all it took was a hip adjustment last thursday and my cute bundle of joy was here as of saturday! now that worked wonders because my pelvis wasnt aligned properly which ment that she could not come out! It would have ended in a c-section! I am so glad that I did that first but I do want to thank you for your comment!

Has your midwife tried stripping your membranes? It did not work for me but a lot of people I know have it done and deliver the same day. I was induced with my first 2 and I am being induced with my third tomorrow.
