Don't try to induce before your due date. Your baby's ability to breathe may not be fully developed, and you may risk harming your baby. Wait it out a couple more weeks.
The baby probably isn't ready yet. Where I went to the hospital if you were 5cm dialated they would keep you and induce labor. you can be zero dilated and be in labor. As soon as your muscles start contracting you are in labor and have pains.
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.
you can be dilated for months before you actually go into labor.
It means you will probably go into labor soon. I've heard of women being dilated 3cm and not going into labor for weeks. As a reference, you must be dilated to 10cm before the doctors or midwifes will allow you to push.
Try walking. Not sure if it will work or not. That's what I have always heard
Drinking vinegar to induce labor is an old wives tale and will not work. It is not recommended to try to induce labor by any methods.
The onset of labor can be determined by measuring how much the cervix has dilated.
Only a Vet, with medication, could induce labor in a cat. Cats are natural mothers and will go into labor when the time is right.
doesn't a cow require lutalyse and dexamethasone to induce labor?
No
There's really no way to tell. You can be slightly dilated for weeks before going into true labor. On the other hand, you might not be dilated at all and then go into labor closer to your due date. It's oddly not a very reliable way of telling when you'll deliver, until you are in active labor.
You don't have to be effaced or dilated to go into labor. But this could mean u will be waiting for the bundle of joy little longer! Good luck!
