Guest guest Posted February 16, 1999 Report Share Posted February 16, 1999 Wow, if you want to talk about homeopathic inducers, I did a few myself. I have never told my husband though. My mom and I (and now all of you) are the only ones that know. So here are the different things I tried: Castor oil mixed with rootbeer, stimulation of the nipples, sex, some kind of primrose or something like that capsules that you insert vaginally, lots and lots of walking. Now mind you - none of those things helped me. I was 1 week late. But after the birth I realized that you cannot do these self-inducing things unless you have begun effacing and dilating. When I went in to get induced 1 week after my due date, I was still 0 cm and 0% effaced. Thus, none of my efforts worked. They might work for you, but I strongly discourage the castor oil unless you are truly desperate!! It was horrible. e >---------- >From: Jenabe [sMTP:jenabejones@...] >Sent: Monday, February 15, 1999 4:01 PM >To: 'breastfeedingonelist' >Subject: Re: No baby yet > >, > >I don't know if you are interested but I induced my labor with a homeopathic >remedy (harmless & no side effects) called Caulophyllum thalictroides. >Available at healthfood stores. 3 tablets under the tongue at least 3/day but >up to every 1/2 hour.
