Evening Primrose Oil to Induce Labor

My advice....

Don't take the pills. Lay in bed, prop your feet up, eat some ice cream, read a book, and enjoy the last few minutes of peace and quiet that you are going to have for MONTHS if not YEARS! You are about to have a baby that needs you 24 hours a day 7 days a week and lose so much sleep after he is born. SO JUST RELAX!!! It will happen soon enough and this time next year it will all be a blur and you'll be saying, "I can't believe it all went by so fast!"

If your doctor thought that you were in danger or your baby was in danger... he/she would have induced you already.

Hi A.,

Drinking Raspberry tea will also help induce labor as well as increase your milk supply if you continue drinking it after birth.

I know this has nothing to do with your question, but I couldn't help but asking.... how did you have a miscarriage in April and now are having a baby in January? Is that correct?

First I must say....awwww, you poor thing! I am 32 weeks pregnant and am already getting anxious about having him here! I wish you much luck and, though I am preaching to the choir, agree that when your doctor thinks you've gone to long he will induce. At this point, you may have already had your little one! If not, no worries...they will come when they are ready! You're body will know what to do...now...if I can only take that advice myself and stop wishing for mine to come early! Good luck!

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE OIL I JUST WANTED TO WISH YOU A HEALTHY BABY

A.,
I agree with Jackie's comment 100%. Your Dr. Should not let you go more than 2 wks past your due date (especially b/c your baby is already so big) and even though it is uncomfortable....try to enjoy the peace. I have a 15 mth old now, my 1st, and I wanted to be induced early b/c I was on bed rest in the hospital prior to giving birth, and my dr was the same way as yours is. If you feel you really want to take those pills I would talk with your dr. first. Make sure there isnt an underlying reason as to why he wont induce you right now. My suggestion is to walk. This will also help with the length of your labor.
