Re: no baby yet - any ideas? (5 days past due)

[Guest guest]

My son was posterior and I spent a LOT of time using the birth ball. Rolling on it, draped over it, doing pelvic tilts, crawling on my hands and knees. I was so worried because I knew he would be very large and posterior would NOT be good since I was birthing at a birthing center with no epidurals or forceps. I'm not sure when he turned but he did and the was born fast, 1 hour of pushing and at 10lbs 7oz. I'm not sure what I did that helped (oh, and I also had a chiro that did webster technique stuff), but he turned over to be face down!

Good luck with your VBAC! Keep us updated!

thanks - but no congrats yet. she is now 5 days past due. doctor can't induce me because i am having a vbac (vaginal birth after cesearean). i talked him into letting me go to 42 weeks - assuming she is fine until then. am scheduled for another c-section on the 19th. she will be 15 days past her due date by then.... trying everything - accupuncture, chiropracti, spicey food, bouncy ball, hikes... refuse to try castor oil - it dehydrates you terribly which increases need for c-section - and hospitals are so picky about vbacs these days - so much liability, blah blah blah....

if anyone has any ideas, let me know. i am only 4'11 " with a pre-pregnancy weight of 110. this kid is measuring at 7 pounds 14 ounces as of yesterday! OY!

(part of problem, i think, is that she is in posterior position, instead of anterior, which can delay onset of labor - doing all the pelvic exercises which are supposed to help along with the accupuncture and adjustments... but am still only about 40% effaced and barely dilated! HELP!)

Yes grapefuit seed is a deffinet antifungal, the grapeseed is controversal, but this may prove to be the case also. Either way grapeseed is a power fruit. Sure hope it keeps your thrush under control. Congrats on the new lil one!! Jennie<><

Typically grapeseed extract is used as an antioxidants. But some studies show it does have antifungal properties(this is controversal) . This article is interesting on grapeseed extract and cancer killing

properties, beings I truely believe cancer is fungas/yeast. This confirms to me that grapeseed is most likely antifungal. Jennie<><http://www.naturaln ews.com/025249. html

Dana, I know it's January, but have you tried going swimming? My daughter was in a lateral position at the end of my pregnancy, but when I took my older one to swimming class (which I was taking with her) I felt the baby turn and then after that she stayed put until the birth. My midwife said that often babies turn around when their mothers swim.

Hi, I have no experience in/with this personally, but I have heard parsley could induce labor! Jennie<><
