How does labor specialization help a society?

This is related to labor because in society, people specialize in differnent fields of work and then they conduct their labor.
Does castrol oil work to induce labor?
NO! You will hear all kinds of crazy things to help induce labor, but babies come when they are ready. The only things that are helpful are walking and sexual intercourse. The reason for this is because the product that the hospitals use to "ripen the cervix" is prostaglandin, which is the same thing in sperm. So... good luck!
What can you take to induce contractions?
Remember, that anything before 38 weeks is preterm labor, and the baby may not be ready! Early birth can mean immature lungs, jaundice, and other problems. It is better to be patient, and let your body go into labor on its own. If there is something wrong, or some reason that the doctor feels labor should be induced, (s)he will let you know, and schedule an appointment. It will then be done in a controlled environment, with medications that are known to work. This will reduce the chances of harm coming to you, or your baby.

You don't. It's selfish of you to try to rob a fetus of a vital growth period in the womb.

I would suggest walking and lots of it. If possible up and down a stairs it has worked for a few friends of mine. Hopefully it will work for you. An old wives tale is to scrub the kitchen floor. I don't suggest you actually do it but crawling on all fours might help. You have probably had the baby by now but this answer might be useful for someone else.

Will castor oil induce labor at ten weeks?
Castor oil induction is NOT recommend if you are not past your due date.

HOW LONG AFTER YOU DRINK CASTOR OIL WILL YOU GO INTO LABOR?
- Although castor oil doesn't always work, when and IF it does, it will usually take between 6-8 hours to start contractions. The diarrehea usually lasts 3-6 hours. If it's been longer than that, chances are you'll just have a really sore bum that will be in dire need of a tucks pad.
- This is an old wives tale that this will work. My sister did the same thing, she drank that and even walked and walked no labor. The one thing that it can do is make your baby have a bowel movement while your baby is still inside and this will make him or her very sick. I would consult your doctor about this.
- Castor oil does not work, but neither does it make your baby poo. It may be taken by someone who is overdue and babies who are overdue are more likely to have their bowels open.
- Caster oil CAN work, by giving you diarrhoea - which irritates the smooth muscle lining your intestines, which in turn irritates your nearby smooth muscle in your womb, and starting contractions. It does NOT always succeed in starting labour, and may only give you horrible diarrhoea, so I wouldn't suggest you try it - but it sounds a bit late for that.

Your health care provider is the best one to tell you how significant this is, based on what number pregnancy this is for you, whether you've carried previous babies if any to term, how big the baby is -- or babies are (twins often don't carry all the way up to term), whether your amniotic sac & fluid are intact or if you are leaking amniotic fluid, whether you are having contractions or not.

Will castor oil induce labor at 36 weeks?
Caster oil may help bring on labour for some women - not everyone though. A normal pregnancy length is considered to be 38-40 weeks. Therefore if you are only 36.4 weeks, I would suggest you wait just a little bit longer. Wait until you are 38 weeks. It is more likely to give you colic and diarrhoea. Answer: My advice... dont do it. I tried it thinking it would move things faster, it did, but not the labor. I sat on the toilet for hours after drinking it. When all was settled, I still went another 2 weeks before going into labor for real. Just wait it out, enjoy the pece and quiet, and he chance to sleep :)

Why is your baby not growing properly at 34 weeks?
First as the mother you must be taking your prenatal vitamins and eating properly. Which means when your thirsty you should drink, hungry you should eat or snack. Eating is what keeps your baby growing and eating is very important. Keeping iron up and drinking lots of fluids. If you have been doing all of these things then it is meant for you to have a smaller then average baby, if not at this point you are going to have him/her soon so just take the best care of your child once they are here. You can only do so much as a person so just take care of yourself eat right and do what you can.
