John and I tried the acupressure points.  I really don't think it did anything though.  I attempted nipple stimulation for about 30 seconds, but that got messy so I quit.  We watched videos on youtube about bringing on labor, some were very amusing.  :smileyhappy:

I am about willing to try anything that is safe...but I have a feeling I will have to be induced again.  I had to be induced with my first pregnancy and have a feeling this one is going to be the same.   Please let me know if any of you have had success with any methods.

I was induced with both of my other kiddos and really want to go naturally this time so I have been walking and doing the deed, which the dr suggested. I am also trying raspberry red leaf tea and Evening Primrose oil (orally and vaginally). So far I have lost my mucus plug and I am 2cm dilated. I am having DH pick up eggplant parm for me on his way home today. I also tried doing squats today and was having very strange sensations down there so I hope it did something. I have heard stairs work but I can't do them because I am hypoglycemic and they always make me have an attack. I am hoping I can get this LO out before induction on Monday! Good luck everyone.
