Karen & co. Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Don't write off the idea with an induction, as it depends how they do the induction where you are My sister had one for her 2nd, and had a home birth for the 3rd karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Here's some more hope for you Gina: I went to 12 days over with DS and 8 days over with DD - by that stage each day felt 26 hours long!! My midwife kept saying an amazing number of people go into labour the night before they are due to be induced...and both times that was the case with me! So maybe Wednesday night?? You could also try having a bath with a few drops of clary sage essential oil in it. This apparently 'certain' method didn't work for me, so I passed my bottle onto a friend who was hugely pregnant and an hour after she had the bath her waters broke! She then passed the bottle onto other friends and it worked for them too!! I was so cross when I heard that - why didn't it work for me? Keep smiling - you'll be a parent by the weekend whichever way it happens Lots of love and labour vibes, Cookie. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Shaitsu points to induce labour/periods are in the fork of the thumb and index finger, right down where the bones meet in the fleshy part of the hand. Press each side of the hand together and massage whenever you think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Thanks Girls! My yoga teacher taught us that technique Clare...which I had completely forgotten all about....so thanks for that! Cookie - I have got some Clary Sage in my cupboard that I have mixed together with some geranium and some lavender to use as a labour massage oil. Will definalty do the CS oil in the bath too....I didn't know that. Pray for Wednesday girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 There's a corresponding point on the inside of your ankle (if you can reach it), 4 finger's width up from the ankle joint in that groove that runs up the inside of your leg.

Linda Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 She would definitely be on here if she could, I'm sure! It must be a good sign. Good luck Gina!! (It must be the spontaneous onset of labour the night before the induction phenomenon!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
