Spicy Food 37 weeks pregnant

im 37 weeks pregnant with my first. but between ultrasound measurements and blood work, my due date is about 1-2 weeks off. so i technically am 38-39 weeks. my son is dropped and heads down, i am 2 cm dialated and 25% effaced. i started having contractions 3 days ago, but they stopped and left me with a constant backache. i tried walking, spicy foods, sex and about everything else but wanted some imput before i tried the castor oil? and how would you recommend taking it?

DO NOT DO CASTOR OIL. it can harm your baby even though you are technically 38/39 wks along that means you still TECHNICALLY have 1-2 weeks to full term and some gynos wait till 2 wks past due, as long as no fetal distress, not high risk pregnancy & it continues to progress it is good you are already having effacing & dilation so early. and I was dilated to 3, 80% effaced with contractions for a week and had false labor once before my dr finally induced me due to complications (fetal distress, stopped progression & high risk) 3 days BEFORE my due date.

Ha ha your ready!!! i know that's rite,I can't really answer your question being as though it's my first time. But i wish you the best of luck an hope that you have an healthy beautiful child

Yesterday, I tried castor oil, spicy foods, walking, acupressure and a glass of red wine and nothing worked. Anyone have any other ideas? BTW, Ethel, my baby would not have to spend any time in the NICU because she is already at term. Apparently, you are the one who doesn't know anything.

There are not any real, guaranteed methods to induce labor. Sorry. Don't you think if there were, everybody would know about them and do them? There are a few methods that COINCIDENTALLY labor has followed, so people started telling that they caused labor. They don't. About the only thing that there is actual proven research on is walking. If you are in early labor already, walking can help it move along. But even walking won't cause you to go into labor. You are still quite early. Most babies' lungs are developed by 37 weeks, but some need 38. Why not give it at least a little longer to make sure your baby's lungs are ready.

I'm confused because last month I've been feeling a burn on the top of my stomache that goes to my throat is that a heartburn? And now I'm 37 weeks and I only been feeling the burn on my throat but not on my stomache its a weird feeling like if u ate a lot of spicy food and I feel like drinking a lot of cold water or eating ice, its been bothring me a lot and I don't know if that is a heart burn so what's the other thing and I don't kno but could it be cuz I eat a lot of spicy food?

its acid reflux. it get it bad too from spicy foods and fruity stuff...and also pepsi. get some tums.
