What did u use to bring it on...

Well I hate to say it, but I tried everything I could think of, (short of castor oil, you don't want to do that )

Well I tried everything and at 13 days over did do the castor oil (I still shudder at the memory) and 4 hours later I had contractions albeit prelabour went on for a further 3 days didn't really go anywhere and I ended up being induced LOL.

Hehe, 13 days... I might have been tempted too

I didn't mind the RLT either, I had mine with a teaspoon of honey.

Have you thought about acupuncture? My acupuncturist wouldn't do induction acupuncture until I reached 40 weeks but he did some other stuf for me beforehand to help with back pain etc & was great.

I was determined to VBAC and did everything, and I mean everything and the things that I think worked for me to pre-labour and get to 3cms dilated(even though I never went into labour after 14 days overdue!) were acupuncture with Chinese herbs and the stretch/yoga class I did afterwards. Each Thursday after my sessions, something happened, cramping, lost my plug, ctxns. etc. Definitely recommend it although as Fleur mentioned most won't do induction acupuncture until you are 40 weeks. Try to remember too that babies come when they are ready, yes we can do all we can to prepare ourselves and try and help things along but I really believe some of that is coincidence and that bubs want to choose their own birthday and that it could still be 3 weeks away, and trust me, going 14 days over I know how hard it is to be patient and want that baby out. Good luck with it all xoxox
