Stretching the cervix, often referred to as cervical ripening, can help induce labor by promoting the release of hormones that soften and dilate the cervix. This process may involve mechanical methods, such as membrane sweeping or the use of a Foley catheter, which can stimulate uterine contractions. However, the effectiveness of cervical stretching varies among individuals and should be done under medical supervision to ensure safety for both the mother and baby.
