angelle23`s poll Show results | Hide results


Pregnancy-poll poll I am 40 weeks pregnant and I heard that rasberry tea, pineapple, and kiwi work for inducing labour. I was just wondering how many of you have tried it. Was it a success or not?

Hi I tried all the old wives tales. Sex, hot curry, pineapple, long walks, a ride on a motorbike everything and I still went 10 days over

Ive been taking raspberry leaf tea every day since i hit 35 weeks, im now going on 39 weeks and nothing, So i think that one is a bit of hokey pokey but im going to try pineapple next, hope that works ! ive tryed nipple stimulation as well but all i found it did for me was make my nipples to sore to continue trying LOL. I Dont reccomend HOT baths, it will raise your body temp, in turn raising the babys witch is not good for them But if your Doc says ok, ( all docs are different) then try.

I tried it and it didnt work. Try walking up and down stairs and getting DH in bed ;)

Raspberry leaf can be taken throughout pregnancy so dont think it works much BUT Raspberry leaf COMBO has added ingredients that require it only to be taken in the end of pregnancy because it risks premature labor if not so I think if you want to take it take the combo ~ as far as pineapple, I`ve read some say that it worked but like many things many say it didnt ~ Sex and gravity help the best, LOTS AND LOTS of walking to get baby moving is the most effective :) Nipple sitmulation and sex having the big O too because it get the uterous contracting.
