I have tried all the following so i'm thinkin babies probaly just come when there ready....



walking miles up and down hills

steep steps

birthing ball

curry (dont usually eat spicy foods)

squats

clary sage oil - massaging and in the bath

fresh pinapple

cleaning the whole house

carrying something of the babys round with me for 24 hours

putting up his cot

accupressure

raspberry leaf tea



havent tried sex dont wish too either lol

i wouldnt try the castor oil highly not recommended



im seeing my midwife today, my consultant wants me to have a sweep at 40 weeks which is only 5 days away so id prefer if he came naturally without this

    I took oil of evening primrose tablets when I got to 39 wks, that along with sex is what I'm convinced did the trick, although we had just moved house, got the last coat of paint on the walls, had done a full grocery shop and had a roast in the oven! So think he decided it was a convenient time to arrive! Hope u can avoid the sweep x
