walking and sex help for me, good luck

walking, walking, walking and then ORGASM!!!   I am not trying to be smart ass, bu if you think about it orgasm is a contraction of the uterus.  It is not the intercourse but YOUR orgasm that will help.  Good luck and have fun!!!

I know this sounds crazy but try this.  You have to eat some goose.  My son wasnt due until Jan. 1st.  On Christmas day my Papa was cooking a goose dinner.  He told me that if i ate any of the goose i would go into labor.  I did not believe him, ate the goose dinner and went home.  I woke about midnight or so ....in hard labor.  My mom took me to the hospital and my son was born 45 minutes later.  Try it if you can,  good luck.

I was a week late also and tried everything....pedicure, castor oil, sex........nothing worked, but he only week one week over........beware though......during that week over, all they do is gain weight......my baby boy was 10 lbs. 13 oz. , so get ready with a larger bring home outfit because the precious little newborn outfit I had was way too little.....hahahaha

sex. not the first thing on your mind but my boyfriend knocked me into labor literally...haha... :)

With all due respect, your best bet is continous intercourse....whether you are in the mood or not. While I was pregnant, my OB suggested intercourse if possible until the bitter end. Good luck and many blessings to you and your family.

Even though you probably don't feel like it, sex is the best way to bring on labour.  If you don't feel like it, then go for a lot of walks!!  Hope this helps!

walking and rough sex!  I was so sick of being pregnant, so HUGE and uncomfortable, the doc said to go home, walk and then have rough sex with my husband, and then I will go into labor.  I had sex, walked... nothing, so I made him do it very rough as I was tortured in pain and discomfort, but it really worked.  labor started immediately.  I hope no one takes offense to this post, it really is the truth and it really worked ;)  When a woman reaches orgasm, it makes the uterous contract.  Good Luck!

my midwife said sex when my first was over-due (came 8 days late). Second was 10 days overdue. Was booked in for an induction but she decided it was time. Babies will just come when they are good and ready. I did loads of walking with both and sat a-stride a dining chair (open the pelvis). If you're offered a sweep that will help. All the best

Gabi - posted on 04/15/2009

LOTS AND LOTS OF SEX! Walking is another way of bringing it on, but I chose the funnest way! Good luck anyway - you have a lot of reading to do with all these replies - so you mightnt find the time for walking or sex!!

Lisa - posted on 04/15/2009

Loads of olds wife tails to start you off, but all I will say is the baby will come when it is ready, with so much back and stomach pain you may already be in slow labour...

Good Luck hun when you do go in!

I drank Raspberry tea when i was pregnant with my daughter i had about 4 cups and the next morning i woke up in labour, its not the nicest taste but i recommend it, my sister in law swears by pineapple, she ate a whole one of them and went into labour with both my niece and nephew, although it didnt work for me its worth a try, good luck xx

Hi Kellie Might sound strange but it worked for me.....A curry! and it doesnt have to be hot i was 2 days over due but in very slow labour with my second child. Some one had suggested it to me, and i just fancied a curry since it was discussed. So i had one, just a plain chicken Korma..... half hour went by and i decided to go to bed, go to the bathroom and at all started...off to the hosptial i went. Jamie my son was born :)

Good luck with baby if you havent already had baby x

Tiffany - posted on 04/15/2009

both my babies were overdue... I did castor oil with the first, and I DO NOT recommend it to anyone.  I took it and it really seemed like I was starting to go into labor, well I walked for 2 hours, and it kept coming and getting worse... so we went in to be checked and it stopped as soon as we got to the hospital.  Then I was sick all night after that... I ended up getting induced with him because he just didn't want to come out...

I considered trying it with my second, but it is soooo nasty, I ended up not doing it.  I had my membranes stripped 3 times and had lots of sex and everything that is a "safe" method of inducing labor, and none of it worked.  he was 3 days past his due date and if we do have any more, I will not be trying anything other than the walking, sex and having my membranes stripped...

babies really do come on their own time, well unless they are induced my the hospital.  I don't really think that the "home remedies" work.  I think in the cases that something does happen it is just coincindence that it happened that way... I know a lot of people who have tried a lot of different things and none of them worked, and I know very few that things have actually seemed to have worked... so...

hi there,when i had my second daughter i was also overdue.. have lots of sex... or start cleaning up your whole house, just keep moving and that will help.

lots of walking...and cinammon tea...but you have to drink it all at once when its really hot.

Erin - posted on 04/14/2009

I've heard sex, walking and swimming. My mom went swimming when she was prego with my brother and soon after he was born. I went swimming when I was prego with my daughter and soon after she was born. Good luck!

Quoting Kellie:

I am currently 1 week over due, does anyone have any good suggestions to help bring on labour???

My first bub was due on the 6th April and i am now 1 week over due! I am so anxious to meet my baby..plus my stomach and back are just killing me... does anyone have any suggestions to help bring on labour?

A frieng of mine told me, she went down a slipery dip a few times when she was over due with her 2nd child and she said that night the baby was on the way. Try that and let me know if it works for you.

try having sex, heard that does the trick. You could also try going for a ride on a motorbike as the vibrations and little bumps get your big bump on its way. This latter method worked for my husband's first wife with one of hers. Good luck anyway, they will induce you before too long. Enjoy your new bub when it arrives!
