So What Happened?™

Well everyone it happened! I had my baby girl! I took the advice of one wonderful mother on this site and she suggested that i go to this particular restaurant on tujunga and moorpark in studio city called ciotote(i spelled that wrong), pronounced coyote...this restaurant has a salad called "the the salad", and it works! I ate the salad around 7:30 pm and by 3:45 am, i started having contractions and my water broke! Amazing! Any mom that wants to bring on labor, go get this salad!!!!!!!!! Who would have thought!(muah!)

drink red raspberry leaf tea or blue cohosh tea, rub your nipples and suck your thumb or a lollipop (pressure point in your mouth), keep walking... If you get overdue, acupuncture can really help.

Good luck!

Coyote cafe serves a labor inducing salad! Some say it works! Its in studio city on tujunga at moorpark (across from vitelos). Best of luck! I know you are uncomfortable at this stage but try to sleep all you can! While you can!

Drink vast amounts of red raspberry leaf tea. You can also try nipple stimulation.

They are all correct. Stimulating your nipples causes your body to start the production of oxytocin - your body's natural form of pitocin. You can also try having sex. Sperm contains certain chemicals that can help induce labor.

try drinking chrysanthemum tea (available in asian markets and health food stores)...i didn't know about it until my 1st pregnancy...was drinking it like water in the summertime and it brought on contractions (which at the time was not a good thing though)...good luck!
