EDD.....
WORRIED MUM TO BE....
Good day Stella, I am an ardent reader of your blog and will be glad if I can get some good advice here. The issue is I have passed my EDD ie expected date for delivery of my baby. I went to the hospital and was told to keep waiting for another 2weeks.
I have been trying natural ways of inducing labour in order to avoid being induced at the hospital which I heard is usually more painful and traumatising than natural labour: I tried lots of walking, castor oil, sex, pineapple, membrane sweep yet no results.
I am so fed up as I can hardly move around or carry myself anymore. Please mothers in the house, who have been through this should share their experience and also advice me on what else to do that can induce labour naturally. Thank you SDK.
Wishing you save delivery, its not easy to be a mother

Eeyah, would have sworn by membrane sweep, but you've tried this already; i guess everyone is different.
DeleteDon't know where you're based, but if you can get hold of raspberry leaf tea or the tablets, works wonders. Pele, you shall deliver safely by God's grace.
Click my name for all your celebration cakes and cupcakes, cheers
I had my baby 17days after my EDD. D doc even told me to come d followin week for me to be induced but viola d satday b4 d week, I saw my "show" and eventually labour started and I put to bed. I didn't do anytin cos I know labour shuld come naturally. Don't be worried. U'll soon go in2 labour. Safe delivery in advance
DeleteSafe delivery in advance
DeletePoster,biko go for a CS...
ReplyDeleteMake your child no die inside your womb...
I don talk for my own...
Safe delivery!!...
What sort of comment is this pls. Shm
DeleteHa ha!
DeleteYou must be the "queen and boss of stupidity "for that statement
DeleteI agree with Linda. Pls go for CS asap. All this ur self induced method u are doing is not healthy for the baby. No harm in cs o if u love ur baby
DeleteIt's better not to talk at all than to post this type of comment for an already worried pregnant woman. Na wah oo. madam labour will come don't worry, we shall rejoice with you in Jesus name
DeleteI support Linda on this. I don't know why some women think CS is a death sentence
DeleteYou're hilarious in an evil way
DeleteBush women! Preg is + or - 40 weeks . Induction is no big deal . I ve had 2 inductions. Why go for a cs when it's unnecessary?
DeleteIt is well madam,safe delivery though....
ReplyDeleteI gave birth at 9 months 3 wks, fear of induction is d beginning of real pains, d greatest pain on earth...
ReplyDeleteWow patt? U made a sentence! Good job sweetie, baby steps.
DeleteI had my baby at 9months 3 weeks too. Induction pain no be here o. My baby is just 2months old.
DeleteI'm telling you. That kind pain no be here. Person go almost run mad.
DeleteThe father and mother of all pains , too painful.
DeletePatt has been hacked!
Deleteit's very painful but when there is no choice than the induction what will one do. God is with us women. After being induced and was in labour for 10 hours and the babies were not still coming , I ended up doing cs. But it all ended in praise. Madam it will end in praise okay. God is still on the throne.
DeleteIt is a surmountable pain ! I had one without epidural and another without.
DeleteMy dear no mind them oh. I was induced and it was not that painful.
DeleteOh dear,may God see you through.
ReplyDeleteNo comment! Mothers over to u.
ReplyDeleteI won't want to relate this to anxiety but then I will only advice dat u relax ur mind, pray to God to take control of the situation, my intercessory prayer for you is u will carry ur baby in ur arms soonest...Amen!
ReplyDeleteMR EDDY said this heat wan kill person o.
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord see u through

Pls go for induction after two weeks.
ReplyDeletePlease wait for the 2weeks, the baby will come when he/she is ready.
ReplyDeleteGo to d hospital!!!! What is wrong with u woman!!!!???
ReplyDeleteEven if dey want to use screw driver to induce d labour, wont u rather endure that pain for a while n birth ur baby!!?
Oya keep sitting der na, I am bringing peppersoup for u
@Victoria Inyang, such a stupid comment, if u dnt have anytin 2say sharrap, u must nt comment
DeleteWhat is this sef?
DeleteCalm down chizzy...u too vex.
DeleteIt all boils down to one thing, try any means possible to get ur baby out if d natural way proves abortive....any means possible...CS, watever!! The pain is temporal...even d pple telling her that its painful hav survived it.
Dont mistake my talk for lack of care...
N am stll comin wit my peppersoup
Victoria inyang d mumu, You want ppl to smoke that's y u wrote this trash idiot
DeleteWhy can't young people read before they comment. Smh!
DeleteVery insensitive and immatured. Had mine on my EDD Doctor told me to drink Castor oil, I warmed it a bit in the microwave for a some seconds and I drinked it and within 4hrs I was in labour. Wishing a safe delivery dear.
DeleteYou "drinked" it, eyah kpele
DeleteU mentioned castor oil alone but try it with 7up just a glass of 7up and I tell u within 15mins u should start feeling some discomfort
ReplyDeleteI had the same issue. The best option is to get induced in the hospital, though its painful but its best option. U need to avoid getting the baby depressed. I walked n climbed staircase for 3hrs. I was induced by drip n some tablet inserted into my vjay. D well being of your baby is more important. Don't stay @ home, go to d hospital.
ReplyDeletedepressed???u mean distressed?
DeletePlease do what you can for now and if nothing happens go and do your induction it has to be done ok as the reward is for life x good luck
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are expecting a baby girl. She's already feeling comfy in your belly. I will tell you what my mum told my sis. Exercise wella to make her feel uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteThat's how girls are in nature, they like enjoyment with no stress whatsoever.
Eyah, baby is just not ready to come and face the world. Lol. Poster, u shall surely deliver safely.
ReplyDeleteYyy
ReplyDeleteWhy are you speaking in tongues?

ReplyDeleteRelax ur mind sister, why are we always anxious? God who planted the seed will harvest it at the right time. But if you want to induce labour, stimulate ur nipples and that will rush oxytocin to ur womb but make sure you have a recent scan showing ur baby has descended. This will prevent unnecessary labour pains while ur baby is still up. Pray dear. That's first mum's anxiety.
ReplyDeleteVery right Emerald. Poster stimulate your nipples. I had my first daughter @ 41 + 6days, almost 42weeks. Emerald is right about the descending baby. I didn't know about this and just stimulated my nipple, the labour pain I experienced was so much, I labored for good 55hours. So my dear don't worry yourself, baby will come when the time is right for him/her.
DeleteGet induced or opt for CD but make sure u deliver soon cos delay is dangerous
ReplyDeleteGet induced or opt for CS
ReplyDeleteStay there n b waiting naa!
ReplyDeleteIf u ask me, na who i go ask.
ReplyDeleteGo back to the hospital,if they want to induce u let them. The most important thing is the baby and your safety
ReplyDeleteI tried after I had passed my edd and it worked effectively cause contraction began immediately. Do u experience orgasm?,if yes,let ur hubby suck or nipples while caressing ur clitoris,he doesn't have to penetrate when u experience orgasm labour will keep cause I tried it and viola my baby came some hours later.Safe delivery.
ReplyDeleteWonderful
DeleteExcellent
DeleteMighty God!
DeleteEmmanuel !
DeleteLmao! Wow!
DeleteAha...
DeleteYou shouldn't have been anonymous naa.
I like this.
Madam,labour pain is the same.whether induced or natural birth.Please go and birth your child.There are inherent risks associated with d waiting.4 instance my sac broke long b4 I was induced at exactly 40th day of the 40th week.
ReplyDeleteOr if U opt for CS,please birth the child abeg. I advise U seek 2nd opinion with a good gynecologist and scan as well.
Safe delivery.Nkmama
Natural and induced labour are not same o. Hmmm maybe the drug you used is not painful. Cytotec tab was put into my vjajay and I saw heaven
DeletePlease go to the hospital, induction is not that bad jare. I would not advise you to take any advice you here with regard to your question, it's risky.
ReplyDeleteSex???
ReplyDeleteMake DH thing no chook baby eye comot o.
Bwahaaaaa bwahaaaaa
DeleteUna no go kill person for this blog
Safe Delivery but pls go for induction,I see no difference btw labour pains n induction pains all na same same
ReplyDeletei was induced at 41 weeks, i did not even hesitate because i was super heavy and tired, backpain nko! all i wanted was for the baby to be out... laboured for long, membrane was ruptured manually chai, that pain enter brain.
ReplyDeletedear poster for your safety and that of the baby, if your doctor wants to induce you anytime from now please don't hesitate...painful tho', once the baby is out u'll be fine.
I had my son 2wks after my edd and I was not worried one bit. Keep calm and let the natural course do its work. I wish you Sade delivery
ReplyDeleteI delivered 2wks after Edd. on the day of induction. I was supposed to be induced by 4am, I put to bed by 1.45am. so have faith, the baby will come out when she is ready.maybe is a girl, she is probably making up for the welcome party. safe delivery.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, can't help cos I had all my 4 kids thru Cs by choice shaa. I book @38-39wks, so I vent reached 40wks let alone morethan 40wks. Tnks
ReplyDeleteYou will deliver safely. God is in charge. If after some days there is no sign of labor, go and stay in the hospital so that you can be monitored. You will deliver like the Hebrew women!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a very safe delivery dear.
ReplyDeleteIf after waiting for two weeks your doctor suggests induction then please go ahead.
Everything will be fine and you will come back here for a testimony.
poster dont stress yourself with fear, whether induction or natural birth process labour is painful, but you need to stop all this trail n error tins you re doing. If your drs said wait then do that but dont do things that may harm your baby, in all my pregnancies i didnt experience this but be assured you will carry your baby ijn amen.
ReplyDeletePatt Ogar breaking mono /bi syllabic rule.....
ReplyDeleteSafe delivery at God's appointed time..........
Try evening primrose oil. Insert some and take some orally. I started doing at 38 weeks and I fell into labour on my exact due date. Both of my children were born on their due date which is rare.
ReplyDeleteKpele.u will deliver safely
ReplyDeleteDr in d house,am.22 years old and no.signs of mustache.my buddies always laugh @ me
.pls wat can enhance hair growth..abeg easy wit bashing
Check your dad and uncles if they have facial hair and how much of it?
DeleteAlso you maybe hitting puberty a bit later than others.Bumps are not funny and the constant shaving nko so enjoy the clean shaven look that is reigning now.
U r so sick dude, we dey talk better matter here u come dey pour sand *mtcheew* send in ur chronicle to Stella
DeletePoster delay is DANGEROUS. PLS GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!! @ Anonymous 15:31, 4 CS, is possible, cos av had to CS, unfortunately lost my first baby.... Delay, CS was emergency. I now have a beautiful girl, 10months old. God has wiped away my tears
ReplyDeleteDear BV's I am 11weeks pregnant with severe hyperemesis gravidarum(vomitting),i have lost about 19 pounds since i got pregnant becos of the vomitting and food aversions.Its so frustrating becos i keep getting countless bags of iv fluids and nausea medication but nothing is working.Please has any BV experienced this condition and how did u tackle it.Thank u
ReplyDeleteThe puking will stop and your appetite will increase after your first trimester at 14 weeks. But note that all pregnancies aint the same.
DeleteThere is a drug they can give you to stop the vomitting. Pls ask your gynecologist. Pls do so fast. You nid to get strong fast. If I keep vomiting u will keep losing weight... Do d needful. I have 2babies, I know what I am saying. It's not a fun time but u can help yourself... Good luck.
DeleteOrgasm actually induces labour. Try having lots of sex with hubby or please yourself to powerful orgasms cause it causes the uterus to contract thereby inducing labour contractions.
ReplyDeleteEat often, not too much at once.
ReplyDeleteKeep crackers biscuits by your bedside, start your day with that before u even brush your teeth.
drink water with ice cubes, it helps.
your morning sickness should subside soon, u are almost past your first trimester.
all the best
ADD INTERCOURSE TO THE LIST OF THINGS YOU ARE DOING.THIS IS BECAUSE SEEN CONTAINS PROSTAGLANDINS WHICH IS WHAT IS USED FOR INDUCTION OF LABOUR.
ReplyDeleteYOU CAN HAVE MEMBRANE SWEEPS EVERY THREE DAYS.
WHERE THESE ALL FAIL,GO FOR INDUCTION BEFORE 42 WEEKS GESTATION.
GOOD LUCK.THANK ME LATER.
No be small! The DH thing fit bore serious hole for the baby head. No try am ooo. Yet, have you tried shewing raw Gari Ijebu? This one dey work sharp sharp too. I wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteMadam take it easy on yourself and stop thinking cause it not good for your health,I was told one can give birth two weeks to the date or two weeks after the date,keep exercising and praying and in no time you will carry your bundle of joy,wish u safe delivery .
