Hi Jenny,
When are you due? I've heard of a lot of people taking rasberry leaf tablets for 2 weeks before due date as it really helps to bring on stronger contractions, which leads to a quicker birth! Would imagine its a bit more painful then but you have a quicker birth which is a very good thing! Good luck! lol

Hi Jenny,
I took 2-3 tablets of Evening primrose oil daily which is meant to soften
the cervix. And apparently if you eat pineapple, thats supposed to bring on labour!

Hi Gemma

I`m due in 5 weeks so bit early for me to try !Lol!

Friend of mine tried fresh pineapple (tip off midwife) and I`ve heard raspberry leaf tea works aswell.

My midwife told me that the best thing though is sex, so if you can manage it try again!

Good Luck!!

hi sam thanks i will try the sex thing again thats if my partner is upto it and i will givw the raspberry leaf tea ago if none work then i will just have to wait untill it comes only got 4 more days to due date gemma

Definitely eat fresh pineapple and as much as you can manage, i had it for breakfast, dinner and tea!!! i think it definitely worked for me. I just thought that it was an old wives tale!!! my labour was actually ok and midwife commented that cervix was nice and soft and asked me if i has been eating pineapple!!
good luck

I had raspberry leaf tea, pineapple, the curry got hotter by the day, had sex & I played on the dance mat for the Playstation. Get your partner to rub your ankles apparently that helps. I did all the above with my 2nd & she was 4 days early, compared to my first being 13 days late. Is this your 1st? Good luck & let us all know when baby arrives.

4 days over my due date and have tried raspberry leaf tea, curry and still nothing. I will try the pineapple thing today and fingers crossed I will be letting you know I have had our baby!

apparently there is a pressure point between ur thumb and finger which if rubbed continually in a circular motion can bring on labour or so i have been told not tried it but have just over 7 wks left so will give it a try nearer the time!!!!!!

also try massaging your nipples aparently it releases a hormone which can bring on contractions, but yeh tried curries and hot baths and sex, which was very uncomfortable!
