Is there anything I could do to stimulate labor naturally?

apparently massaging the webbing between your thumb and 1st finger works (acupressure point).

Nipple stimulation - only one at a time though as 2 causes foetal distress.

acupuncture

and eating a whole pineapple - i'm dubious about this one though - my sister told me this one and i wouldn't put it past her to tell me just to see if i'd do it LOL

good luck hun. i've been trying hard to naturally induce labour also with not a lot of success - DTD tends to quieten things down LOL. but am keeping at it just in case.

I hope our babies will decide to show up before we run out of ideas! I just got out from my shower and I've been trying the nipple stimulation. My breasts are a little engorged at the moment so it took like forever to stimulate my nipples. Well, at least expressing some of the colostrum out made my breasts feel less engorged. Aside from that, no contractions yet.

Tonight, I will just have to make DH work harder in hope to quicken things. If not, I guess it will just be a time for the two of us to enjoy before the arrival of the baby.

Keep us updated if you go into labor... Let's hope you won't have too much longer to wait either! Good luck hun with your upcoming delivery!

Wow, sounds like DTD really work! I am so excited to hear. DH is scared that he might hurt the baby by DTD at this stage of my pregnancy. So, I could say I'm sexually starved!

Well, well, I will make him read up these posts and prove to him that this might fasten my labor (he's also getting impatient to meet our baby so this will give him heads up)! And of course, it will give me some degree of satisfaction if the baby decides for a later show!

My DP wouldnt DTD as he couldnt get the fact that the baby was right there out of his head so I used EPO capsules to ripen the cervix. Similar sort of effect as sperm

DH heard that our baby's head is engaged and also he heard my doctor commenting that our baby has fine hair while doing an internal. Since then, he's been refusing DTD as he thinks he would hurt our baby's head. But in reality, he's far from hurting the baby's head, right?

LMAO! My DH has that problem now!

Looks like I am once again sticking with the tried and true "when baby wants out, baby will get out".

Can't hurt the baby at all.

I made DH sit and read all the posts. He looked at me and said... yes, but he just feels like he's intruding the baby's head. Well, I reassured him saying that he will need to have an extra long penis in order to reach the baby's head! LOL
