Well if you are 38 weeks and can not feel anything you should NOT try to induce labor. Your baby will come when she is ready,Castrol oil is ONLY used when you are IN LABOR to help make the birth more quick and less painfull. 38 weeks is still two weeks away from your due date, She may be late. My first was 7 days late, even with contractions and lost plug. They tell you to have sex just before to bring on more contractions but ONLY if your not diolated yet. Also if you are diolated don't get into a bath could bring infection. Hope I could help
No and no. You have higher nutritional requirements during pregnancy which the baby needs to be healthy.
It is safe but in the last trimester, avoid having the massage done on your ankles and lower legs as this can cause you to go into labor occasionally.
Im not sure but when I had my daughter I took caster oil on my due date and ate spciy food and drank a glass of red wine and walked a lot and went into labor that night. I did everything others had told me to do to induce labor instead of just one of them. I would wait till 38 wks for sure to start trying.
That could bring on labor which is probably what you were trying to do. I would wait till the baby is ready.
A baby can survive outside the womb at 24 weeks (hospital staff consider it viable then, if it is before 24 weeks they will do nothing for your baby). The longer the baby stays in the womb the better it is for the baby, and the healthier the baby will be when it is born, generally any time after 36 weeks is considered full term & it is more than safe to deliver the baby. I am a Doula and have provided induction services, tips & techniques to many women to help them go into labor.....please contact me directly if you would like a list of things you can do to hopefully send yourself into labor, naturally (I would avoid drugs like Pitocin at all costs): www.myspace.com/APeaInThePodDoulaServices
Yes. Most of the medications they use to induce are naturally occurring hormones in a women's body. Being induced shouldn't hinder any future pregnancies.
Yes and you should if you want to avoid involvement with CPS......Rescue 5 day permanent detox works and is safe for you and the baby but only use if you are 36 weeks or further because it starts the process of inducing labor however it will not cause you to go into labor spontaniously so dont worry
it could be implantation but you can call your doctor to be on the safe side. good luck!
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.
A doctor might induce labor at 39 weeks without complications for various reasons, such as ensuring that the baby is born before the due date, if there are concerns about the mother’s health or the baby's growth, or if the mother has personal or logistical reasons for wanting to avoid going past 40 weeks. Inducing labor at this stage is often considered safe, as the baby is typically fully developed and ready for birth. Additionally, it can help manage scheduling for both the healthcare team and the family.
I think it can
Using castor oil to induce labor at 35 weeks can lead to premature contractions and potentially result in a premature birth, which may pose risks to the baby’s health. It’s important to note that castor oil is not a medically recommended method for inducing labor, especially before 37 weeks. If you’re considering this option, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss safe and appropriate methods for labor induction. Always prioritize the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby.
