If you try to induce and not thinning, you could end up in a bad situation,
which could then result in a c-section. A friend of mine tried self
induction by drinking castor oil several years ago. She wound up in the
hospital and ultimately resulted in a emergency c-section. Doing these
things are very dangerous, please do not try it.
I had a three year old when I became pregnant with my second daughter. I
had extreme fatigue, that left me on the couch for most of the day. I baby
proofed the living room, I mean I took everything out that was a possible
danger (including the coffee table). I used videos that were her favorite
and toys that had no small pieces. I could not guarantee that I could stay
awake and would also sleep when she took a nap. Try these and if you can
stay awake keep small snacks handy so that you don't have to keep getting
up.
Good Luck,
Mona
