Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 I'd say my body is ready. I was 2cm last week. Yesterday I was 2+cm and 75% effaced. I like the sound of what you reccomend it sounds a lot less nasty. I don't know cohash sounds like a street drug or something. Will have to go tonight when dh gets home and get me some Thank you Jo Lynn RE: Induction questions Jo Lynn, Homeopathic Caulophyllum worked well for me. It is a homeopathic version of blue cohosh.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 Jo Lynn, Blue Cohosh is an herb. It can be very strong and I react very strongly to herbs, so I prefer homeopathics. Many women have great luck taking Blue and Black Cohosh in herb form but I didn't want to risk it. I have several sensitivities to herbs so I am very cautious with them.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 Jo Lynn, I have not heard of the quinine, but all the others she is very right about Christi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 Being dilated and effaced doesn't guarantee readiness for labor. I was at 4cm (ob could stretch to 5cm) and 50% effaced at my appointment 2 days before my induction, but after taking blue cohash every three hours the day before my induction I was exactly the same the first time they checked me at the hospital, and the contractions that I was having pre-pitocin were barely registering on the monitor or with me. Because they wanted me delivered, it took pitocin to get my contractions going to where my body could finish the job.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 This is what I was told by a friend to use. What do you think? Jo Lynn Start inserting Evening Primrose Oil or Borage Seed Oil capsules at night and even during the day. This will soften up your cervix. Buy tonic water and drink, drink, drink. There is an ingredient called quinine which is a natural muscle contractor....supposed to kick in contractions. You can take black or blue cohosh to get your uterus going. The tincture (liquid) version under the tounge of the blue is supposed to be the miracle herb. Re: Induction questions Being dilated and effaced doesn't guarantee readiness for labor.
