I am 39 weeks p.g and i am due any day.. what are some tips for me to have my baby sooner.?

My little boy is due Nov 20 th and i am worried i will go past my due date and be in the hospital for Thanksgiving..

Answer:
Rasberry Leaf Tea... ask your doctor.. its totally ok. You can find it at a health food store
Walking a lot
Sex
Nipple Stimulation
Meditating on birth
Some say castor oil... but I dunno about what that can do to you.
u can always go in there and grab that lil bastard out ur self
u have to increase physical activity. try walking around ALOT.one of my girlfriends actually did jumping jacks but i dont suggest that. Another dumb person i know drank castor oil. She actually almost killed her baby.
have sex the semen will break ur water
Hi honey lots of walking will help the baby drop down and having sex will help soften the cervix but you really won't go into labor until the baby releases a hormone into your system to let your body know that his lungs are completely developed. Good Luck and congrats on the baby!
Walking , an Sex. i'm not being a smartasss either , my doc. told me through Both of my Pregnancys , have lots of sex an walk , it helps kick in labor.
well first off there are a hundred diferent things that people tell u will make your baby come faster. there all myths. all of them like driving on a bumpy road, cannola oil stuff like that well it causes false labor pains and trsut me u DONT want that! lol honestly try sex, if it deosnt induce the labor it will allow the muscles down ther to loosen a little bit and it will make u less likely to rip. but if you do go into labor on time(i did right on my due date!) you will out of the hospital in two days unless there are complications! and if you do have the baby late and u r in the hospital for thanksgiving think about it this way, u had a wonderful gift... u can thank your man your the giving lol j/p. but seriously think about what i talked about.
Sex is usually the best thing...the semen softens the cervix. Some believe acupressure helps too, and that there are 2 specific spots that you can stimulate, but only when you are very close to your due date. They are on the webbing between your thumb and pointer finger and about a 4-finger's width above your inner ankle. When you find the correct spot, it is going to be quite tender. Rub that spot circularly for about 45 seconds and take a minute break before starting again. Whatever you do, do not attempt to use castor oil. It can be very dangerous to you and your baby. It is supposed to cause diarrhea, which can dehydrate you and your baby very quickly. I hope this helped and good luck!!
I HEARD WALKING HELPS.
I tried all of these things:

* Walking
* Raspberry leaf tea
* Black cohash supplements
* Evening Primrose Oil supplements
* Eggplant Parmigiana
* Sex

None of them worked. My baby was a week late. They come when they decide to come.

Good luck. I hope one works for you instead. The eggplant parm was good. (So was the sex! ;) )
have sex, go for a long fast pased walk, go for a bumpy car ride,light exercise..if all else fails don't worry about having the baby at thanksgiving.. look at it list way you will have all the family there and they will be happy that there were there for the birth of you little angel.
DO NOT TAKE any oils, herbs or anything like to that because they have side affects on labor and the baby. Just don't risk it even if dumb people say to use them! Try walking, a warm shower, massage (relaxtion can really help induce naturally) or sex and nipple stimulation. Good Luck!

P.S. Just walking on my due date dialted me to 2 cm, when that day I wasn't dialted at all.so it works! My hubby was away, so no sex lol
after a full day of lapping the mall. I came home kicked back on the couch . I got uo to pee about 11:30pm, my water broke and my girl was here at 3:00 am, just think it could all be over in 5 hrs? stick in there , almost
I know it's hard, but you have to be patient! If you do go past your due date, talk to your doctor. There is nothing you can do safely to produce an earlier birth. Remember, doctors give you up to 42 weeks, so go in for your regular check-ups to make sure everything is okay. Your baby's health is the most important thing, and I am sure you don't want to do anything that might cause him harm. Hang in there--you'll meet your son soon! Congratulations, mommy!
MARY3127 MY DAUGHTER LIKED your answer,but she is only level one.. so she asked me, her momma to give you a thumbs up.. Thanx for thae answer. soon to be Gramma.
I would say the most effective way is walking...i walked up a down a hill 5 times but after then 3rd time i was contracting..i kept on going so that I would continue to contract but you can have sex, eat spicy food or drink castor oil (but that will make u poo alot which is why you begin to go into labor)...but none of them will work if your child just isnt ready to come..good luck
Walking is one of the best things you can do to induce labor. Another that this will sound stranger but to get your uterus tostart contracting try having your partner get you off. When you *** your uterus will start contracting and that may also start it.
I have heard to have sex, walk, eat spicy food etc. I have learned that they do not work, I tried everything with my son and he came exactly on his due date, but I wanted him to come the week before. Basically the baby will come when it is good and ready.
have tons of sex and then go walking i've heard tat puts you in labor. or ask your dr to enduce alot will do it.
Nothing will work if your body is not ready. I mean if the baby is not on it's way to being delivered within the next 24 - 48 hours. But, you can try numerous things...
Sex
Walking
Spicy Foods
Nipple Stimulation
These things can actually make your labor progress if it's in the early stages. My husband and I used sex and I was in labor about an hour after we tried it. I know it sounds taboo, but it is a tried and true method. Ask your doc if you are hesitant. Sex is the number one thing to bring it on because the orgasm releases a chemical in your body that is a natural form of pitocin. Pitocin is what they gove you in the hospital to make you contract quicker and harder to progress labor. Plus, it will actually relax you and relieve some of the pressure, it may only be for a little while, but it does work.
Nipple stimulation basically does the same thing. Bottom line... it's not gonna happen until it's time for it to happen on it's own. But I can tell you that it is the most amazing thing in the whole world once it does happen. I would go back and do it all over again a million times to have my little boy. He is the best choice I have ever made.
