HELP! Any tips to kick start contraction?

Hi mumsies!! I am at 39weeks pregnant now and I still have not got any contraction. I am schedule for a c-section by KK hospital at 40weeks. I am trying and hoping to avoid a c-section again as my first born was a c-section and I do not want to go through it again. I have tried everything - going for walk, eat several dates per day, drink raspberry tea everyday and even go for prenatal massage and had a membrane sweep at week 38.. But nothings seems to work. Any help anyone? #Needadvice #secondtimemom

I’m 39+4! This is what I did daily from 30th Jan: miles circuit daily, eat 7 Medjool dates , hip rotations on yoga ball & meditation for natural induction twice a day. Started pumping yesterday, and also did prenatal massage. Eat very spicy food. No signs of labour.

Some said miles circuit work, but why do you need a c section would be the biggest question coz if it’s medical related then we’re all no expert.

My sister’s gynae said climbing stairs help to induce labour. But I have not tried it myself.

rasberry tea or rasberry leaf tea? It’d be rasberry leaf tea that can induce labor?

Hi yes it’s the raspberry leaf tea. The one that have “Pregnancy Tea” shown on the box.

Actually you can consider induced labour instead of c sect?

Hi! Thank you for your response! As per doctor’s advice, I can’t be medically induce due to the 1st pregnancy was a c-section. There’s a risk of scar raptured.
