Is there anything else I can try to induce labor?
I am 38 weeks pregnant and have gone through a ruptured ovarian cyst, removal of my gallbladder and appendix, and had to have a stent put into my kidneys to help them drain all in the last 5 months. The Dr and I both thought that she would have come already due to all that we have gone through but she is still not ready. My Dr is just as anxious as I am to have her come. I just got off of bed rest due to the stent that was put in 3 weeks ago. I am still in a lot of pain from it but want to continue trying to induce myself. Is there anything else I can try besides nipple stimulation, sex,raspberry tea, bouncing, walking, and squatting? I have tried all of these things and Im not having much luck.

To be honest I dont think anything we can do will induce labor. I have done sex..gone to the beach and swam….walked everyday..ate spicy foods…the nipple thing. And im 39 weeks and just got checked today and have no progress…so I give up. She will come when shes ready
But tonight im going to get pineapple! Im going to try that and walking..so well see..
I ate fresh pineapple and went for a 2 mile walk, later than night my dd came. I did this with all my kids and it worked.
well there is the classic castor oil but thats gross. i bowled but it might be good idea with your health problems….hmmm maybeeee spicy food, i have heard anal sex works too but have not tried myself
you know the area on your hand between your thumb and pointer, it looks like a webbed area, well if you massage that area for a while it’s suppose to trigger labor… look it up on google, my lamaze teacher taught me that. there is also a pressure point on your ankle that does it.
