Congratulations on your pregnancy. There are several things that you can do to try and induce labor such as castor oil, sex, nipple stimulation, walking, riding up and down hills in the car and trust me I tried them all and nothing worked. I was 40 weeks pregnant and in so much pain so I know where you are coming from. After much research I finally found an alternative that actually worked and has been proven to work in about 80% of pregnant women.
I am talking about Maternity Acupressure.
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. :-)
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
yes, castor oil on scrambled eggs will help to induce labor. (I know because my Mom was overdue & she tried it and it worked !!! )
This application is not scientifically confirmed.
No, Milk of Magnesia will not help you go into labor. === ===
It helps in ripening the cervix
No, never heard that before. Perhaps you should look into labor acupressure which helps to induce labor and also can be used to reduce the pain during childbirth.
no lol...i don't think so
Well, it has been known to help induce labor! Doctors often suggest it. But it's not a scientific method or something, and it doesn't always work. But it can't hurt to try right?!
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.
Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain, which is thought to help soften the cervix and potentially induce labor. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of pineapple for this purpose. While some anecdotal reports suggest that consuming pineapple may help trigger labor, it should not be relied upon as a method to induce labor safely. Always consult a healthcare professional for advice on labor induction.
Honeydew melon is often suggested to help induce labor because it contains a high water content, which can promote hydration and potentially support uterine contractions. Additionally, it has a moderate amount of natural sugars and nutrients that may provide energy and aid in digestion. However, while it can be a healthy snack, there is limited scientific evidence to conclusively support its effectiveness in inducing labor. Always consult with a healthcare professional before trying any methods to induce labor.
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.
