Re: URGENT: Pineapple and Contractions

Personally, I don't believe these desi things. I was also told to drink oil or something so the baby can "slip" out lol! Just be patient and let nature take it's course. Just pray for a healthy baby. The baby will be born when it is good and ready.

instead of eating or drinking castor oil, pineapple ....ask your sister to start walking... and be patient.... which is the hardest thing to do but when the baby is ready it will let the mother know inshAllah.

may Allah give your sister a quick and easy delivery and a healthy happy baby aameen

3 days overdue is nothing. plus.. its all guess work.. the date given ... ure body knows when its done cookign the baby... the 2 weeks over due date is normal and shoudl be waited out... it almost always never takes longer than that :)

WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK.. nothing else will help her.

oh.. and sex. works everytime :)

Re: URGENT: Pineapple and Contractions

I dont think so there is any truth to this.These are just old wives' tales.
I was told by a friend a few days ago to start drinking hot milk with 2 tablespoons of butter in it every night.It will make the baby slip out.
I would have laughed or just listened to it if it was coming from my grandma or some other old lady who believes such things,but this was coming from a highly educated,US born and bred friend of mine,who btw says that she did it and it worked great for her.

All the best to your sister.Inshallah.

Re: URGENT: Pineapple and Contractions

hmmm, ur right Normadic...My sister in law was 10 days overdue and going in for her induction so she took castor oil...she got to the hospital and they were like r u not in pain and she was like no, y..they said ur in labour!

She said her baby literally did slip out quite easily...obv it did hurt still and she had the epidural but she reckons it was made easier with that...and oh yeh she religiously took milk and ghee everyday in the last few days...

But I do agree with the rest of u too that some of these r old wives tales...but who knows??

Do dua for my sister pls...shes really had enuff!!

^:omg:

And yes, walking works… I delivered on my exact due date… I had been walking, walking, walking since a week and that day I walked all day, as I was out shopping with my mom :stuck_out_tongue:

Tell her to go shopping… if nothing else, it will take her mind off things for a while :slight_smile:

First babies are USUALLY a little overdue.
I was told to eat pine-apples. I had soo many- all it did was give me mild contractions.

I agree with khawateen, walk, walk, walk, sex, sex, sex. No one said it had to be easy :D

btw, the baby will come when it wants to come. After doing all that I could do, my first still had to be induced.
