What are some..

old wives tales, things people tell you to help labor come quicker. My doctor told me to have sex and I've been trying to stay active but any other ideas? I'm 1 cm and would like to make that 3 or more by next Monday.

I want this guy to show up already!

Re: What are some..

i heard the sex thing is the only one that really works.

Re: What are some..

I would walk alot - and it's nice out - so maybe a walk around the block or something?

Also I heard eat spicy but who knows if that's true.

Re: What are some..

lol - you went on the treadmill? i give you credit? i can't imagine doing that even now.

i just saw the other night - the friends episode when Rachel was having the baby - and all the other women kept coming in the room and having their babies before her. I can sooo see that happening to you. LOL

Re: What are some..

My SIL took evening primrose oil the day she had my neice.

But she said it was pretty gross

Re: What are some..

I heard eat eggplant

Re: What are some..

I walked alot and i went into labor 4 days before my EDD, but i don't know if that did anything, i was a fingertip dilated when i went into labor.

I think it's all old wives tales, your body and baby are the only ones who know when you will go into labor.
It's their big secret!

I eat eggplant, spicy sauce all the time and usually all i get is hearburn!
