Help Me Induce Naturally

[Jenny0116]

So, I have been on bedrest for 3 weeks for gestational hypertension. Now the MW's are telling me that they will induce on my due date (March 14) if I don't go into labor before then. So, do you ladies have any suggestions for this? We are going to have sex, but how often should we? It's quite uncomfortable. I have accupuncture appts for next Wed and Fri. I am taking 1500 mg of EPO everyday. But doesn't that just ripen the cervix? My MW said not to put it on the cervix.
Thank you in advance for your advice.

I hope there are some midwives on here who will chime in! I'm uncomfortable recommending anything I haven't done myself... but here's a page of midwives' protocols for home induction:

Best of luck to you!
