Is there any natural way to bring on childbirth?

Question

The baby is overdue. The only thing I can think of is go on a bumpy road drive.

Answer 1

stimulation of the nipples is one of the most recommended methods of bringing on child birth.....either yourself or your partner can do this....it is a known fact that stimulation of the nipples causes contractions in the uterus.

Answer 2

Well, they say sex can bring on childbirth. It's certainly worth several tries... ;)

I've heard all kinds of things-- blue cohosh, long drives, long walks, bumpy rides, singing "Happy Birthday" to your belly every morning, but none of it ever worked. The baby will come on his birthday, and not a day before.

I take it back: the one thing that is guaranteed to put you into labor is for your OBGYN to go out of town.

Answer 3

I tried the castor oil in oj, but couldn't swallow it,instead I put the oil in Apple juice and would stir it up and drink it quickly
there is also a pressure point on your leg for the uterus. take two fingers and put on the inside of your leg just above the ankle bone. where the side of the second finger away from the bone is, push like crazy, and massage it firmly. I had great contractions when I did this and it really helped.

Answer 4

cod liver oil and castor oil do not work and taste nasty. If you take this and go into labor your chances of pooping all over the table when you push are REAL good. They are more a laxative than a labor inducer. Walk, sex, spicy food. Good luck honey, i know those last few days really suck!!!

Answer 5

u can get a herbal remedy called blue or black cohosh aka caullyphyllum (spelling) this can bring on labor but it will also make ur uterus more effective at contracting making ur labor shorter (mine was 2 hours) castor oil also a good one, as well as walking and hot baths. ill tell u what i did. first i went for a walk, i walked for about 45 mins and had a rest then walked home 45 mins and then i took a glass of orange juice with a tablespoon of castor oil and a table spoon of vodka in it also took ten drops of the cohosh tincture (from herbal dispensary) and got into a hot bath. half hour later took the orang juice mixture and cohosh again and half hour later took it again and got into bed with hot water bottle. within 4 hours of last dose i was in labor. also i had sex the night before, dunno if that helped any, but the sex is best if both U and ur bloke orgasm, as ur orgasm will contact ur uterus and his will release spermies that have a similar eefct as that of the prostaglin (spelling again) gel they use in induction. there is some site i used for this info back when i was bringing on my boys labor moondragons birthing guide or something? but mainly it was advised by my midwife, who i hired privatly, for both births, and she is great! (i used this for my second labor my first came on her due date!..)

Answer 6

Do you have your dates right ? See what your midwife says. Till the time you get a fool-proof natural way, keep monitoring the baby.Have positive thoughts ,the Baby is more important.

Answer 7

2 1/2 ounces of castor oil in a glass of orange juice.

Answer 8

There are lots of ways that you can try to "speed up" delivery but short of being induced the only way that baby is going to come out is if s/he is ready to!!!!!
