Inducing Labor

You don't. If there is a chance you are pregnant, take a pregnancy test. If not consult a doctor. Self-help is not appropriate here.

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.

Yes, well it can be. Generally the baby will incure severe bruising, but in a more severe case it could cause brain damage.

Veterinarians do if there's a problem.

AT 3 cm dilated, you can be placed on bed rest. I was placed on bed rest at 32 weeks and 6 days to prevent me from going into preterm labor.

No.

I can't speak in any general or universal terms, but for me black and blue cohosh accelerated my labor, which was proceeding slowly but surely (and too slowly for the hospital, who put me on pitocin, prematurely - I believe).

My experience was that both black and blue cohosh helped to advance my labor.

Hope this helps others.

A Birthing Ball can help with position changes and it can also help to comfort the woman by decreasing the pressure and pain while sitting on or lightly bouncing on it.

It depends on why you are wishing to induce labour and on whether the kid will be viable ot not. The drugs which can induce labour can only be prescribed by a veterinarian and need to be handled carefully as some of them will induce abdominal cramps in women and can set off asthma attacks. The drugs most commonly used include prostaglandins, corticosteroids or oestradiol benzoate.

My obgyn told me to take 1 table spoon of cod-liver oil to induce contractions with in 24 hours I was done.

See your doctor. Be careful. It is manslaughter/murder if you intentionally kill an unborn childwhen they are a certain age in your womb.

You should ask your doctor about this as he/she will have adequate information about your pregnancy and ultrasonography. A possible cause of small belly is due to undernourishment. As the nutrients from the mother deteriorates, fetus will use up nutrient from the liver thus causing the abdomen to become smaller.

Although not a scholar of Italian fascism, I understand that Mussolini'd fascists did indeed use castor oil as a form of torture. George Orwell frequently referred to castor oil when discussing the likely outcome of a victory of fascism. The main point was to cause great discomfort (and presumably humiliation) without killing the victim. Castor oil was commonly used at the time as a cure for constipation, so ingestion of large volumes would cause a very unpleasant dose of diarrhoea.

Can serve as a hair and scalp conditioner; a skin moisturizer and healer; a massage oil for aches, pains, fibroid and lumps in the breasts; a powerful laxative and can be used as fist aid for cuts, wounds and burns. Black castor oil seals moisture in the hair with a protective coat. It not only benefits the scalp directly, helping with dryness, cellular malnutrition, microbe attack, and more, it also boosts the hair directly, making it softer and more moisturized. black castor oil may be used for skin conditions such as eczema, liver spots, moles, pimples, rashes and warts. It also helps improve the appearance of calluses in the feet, keeping them soft and supple. Black castor oil is also effective against muscle and joint pain such as rheumatism, arthritis, and other muscular aches.

to be induced 37 weeks and not sure on if your in active labor the earliest ive heard someone going into labor on their own is 28 weeks with lots of hospitalization because of fetal problem such as breathing problems sucking problem retardation and many others

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.

yes it does and by the way do you like potatoes

because i love them

No wine will not help induce labor. It will actually suppress labor. It was used before modern medication to help avoid pre-term labor.

The cervix dilates by the force of the muscular contractions gradually pulling it open. The pressure from the baby's head also assists it. In turn, the muscles are caused to contract by the release of hormones.

pineapple, it works by softening the cervix so it can dilate

Slippery elm is known to cause contractions and could perhaps induce labor. Taking herbs while pregnant, especially if not under the direction of a professional who knows all of the benefits and risks, could be very dangerous, though.

A miscarriage is usually caused by a medical reason. Not by something you eat unless it is a drug that is consumed.

well....... i am on my forth pregnancy now, i am 39 weeks, i took caster oil with my third and labour began with in 2-3 hours after taking it, but this time around i have tried it all currys, treadmill, sex, even caster oil but none of the above has worked, so i really dont think you can start yourself off, it will just happen when it is ready too, and there will be some people who will disagree but that is my theaory, as i would have swore by caster oil last time and this time it did nothing, my body just must have been ready for it then.......

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
