It also helped with the pain during contractions and my labor only lasted for 10 hours, not too bad for a first time mom. btw I was 41 weeks pregnant, they baby had not dropped yet and I was only about a cm dilated, took about 24 hours to work following the techniques in the book.
if the baby is slow to develop or is still in the womb after 42 weeks
Well, the most natural thing I know to help induce labor is walking, and orgasms or intercourse. Here is a link that will give you a whole list of things that can help to naturally induce labor: * http://pregnancychildbirth.suite101.com/article.cfm/tired_of_being_pregnant
Vinegar will not induce labor. Please don't think about inducing pre-term labor. There's a reason why elective inductions before 38 weeks are such a controversy now. Contact your prenatal health care provider to discuss your concerns and the reasons that you want to go into labor preterm.
They say having sex helps , a lot of walking helps. you can talk to your Dr. he/she can set up a date to induce.
At 40 weeks it's not called a miscarriage but stillborn. You will have to give birth as if the baby was alive. They will induce the labor.
sex and walking is good try squats and stairs but i would wait till you are at least 38 weeks, just so make sure your babys lungs are fully developed p.s. i have herd male sperm helps soften the cervics
I heard it can i was wondering if it can im 38 weeks pregnant now and im about to try it out lol
Yes, nipple stimulation can induce labor if you stimulate each nipple for 20mins each and then wait an hour. You should do this for 3 hours out the day.make sure you rest for an hour or more in between
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Don't use castor oil to try and induce labor as the side effects are not worth it, plus there isn't any actual proof that is will work. If you are looking for safe and effective, painless way to induce labor at home then maternity acupressure may be for you. Check out this website, http://yourmaternityresource.com/category/maternityacupreesure/ I bought the book, only $29 and it worked great, well worth the cost of the book. I was 41 weeks along, the best part it actually helped reduce the pain of labor and it was well worth the cost of the book to finally meet my beautiful baby boy. I would suggest that you check with your OB/GYN before trying to induce labor at only 39 weeks though.
Yes but it's very rare. Most OBGYN's will induce labor before or around this point.
No. I tried for 2 weeks when I was over my due date and it did not work. None of the old wives tales worked for me. I had to be induced.
You don't. It's selfish of you to try to rob a fetus of a vital growth period in the womb.
