Another possible November induction

[Deleted]

What's with all these November inductions??!!!

40w + 2 and had a sweep at the OB today. Baby is very very low - I can feel it! - and I'm 2cms. Booked in for induction Thursday next week if things don't happen before then.

Took a labor cocktail/shake a few hours after the sweep and having contractions. I hope this is it!!! So tired of all this prodomal labor.

And what exactly is a labor cocktail/shake?

Hope your baby comes before next Thursday! Wishing you the best of luck!

I'm curious about this labor cocktail/shake too

sju1982 luv2rn4fun 2 T. castor oil, 1 T almond butter, 5 drops lemon verbena essential oil, 1 cup apricot juice

I'm using a berry juice instead of apricot juice. I think people that do the castor oil for inducing tend to use a high quantity of it. In my other trials of this shake I've never had the runs or bathroom urgency from it.

If you Google verbena induction cocktail you can get stories about it. Apparently it is commonly used in Germany to induce labor.

My midwives in Canada had me take it when my waters broke with DS1 with no contractions.
