What are some natural ways to start child labor?

Question

I'm not to my due date yet, so I can't be induced. What are some ways that I can get labor started? I'm anxious to have this baby!!

Answer 1

Sex, sex, and masterbation.... don't forget the nipple play. You have to remember that sex is how it got in there and sex is a really good way to get it out. Nipple stimulation causes the release of oxytocin (a laboring hormone). Semen contains prostogladin (a hormone they often use in gell form to soften the cervix during induction.) And any orgasm will cause uterine contractions. Best wishes

Answer 2

Unfortunately, babies come when they are good and ready and not until then. You really shouldn't try to outwit nature. There really isn't much you can do to get your labor to start earlier than it is meant to because you could be setting yourself up for a C section. If you are really desperate, you can try some of these things.

Nipple stimulation will produce oxytocin (which is the natural form of pitocin which is the drug they use to induce labor).

Some people say that a great deal of walking can get your labor going. Just walk and walk and walk.

Some people say sex will help get it started, but they recently did a study that proved this theory wrong.

I know it is hard to wait it out but just try to be patient. Your baby will be here before you know it. Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

First of all, you shouldn't be trying to start labor without your doctor's consent. You should be at least 38 weeks along before you do anything like this.

I would talk to your doctor first, because you should really let nature run it's course.

But, to answer your question, nipple stimulation is the safest and most effective way to start labor.

But please, CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR FIRST! You don't want a premature baby.

Answer 4

Sex and if that doesn't work try drinking a bottle of Castor Oil,It really does work believe me I have 4 kids,it works every time
Mix it with orange juice,it is really gross,but I swear it will work.After you drink it go walking,it will take 1 to 2 days but I promise you will go into labor

Answer 5

Going for a walk can do it if you havn't been excersising at all.
Making love to your man might do it to.
It's actually up to the baby, he could be late you know!
Just sit back and relax it'll happen when you least expect it!
6 feet of snow brought my labor on a month early!

Answer 6

You only need to drink a few teaspoons of castrol oil. I did this with my last baby. If you were to drink a whole bottle like the person below me said you would probably make yourself EXTREMLY sick. That stuff works great. On my due date i wasnt feeling ANYTHING and so I drank a couple teaspoons of castrol oil around noon, had sex, took a warm bath. By midnight I was dialeted to a 9 and at 90%! Had my little boy at 7am the following day.

Answer 7

Alot of sex!Also if you stay active through your whole pregnancy that also speeds your labor up so don't just sit around go to the mall or to the beach and walk good luck i know how it feels to be ready to drop that baby!

Answer 8

well, I don't know that you can do much, the baby will come when that baby is ready

I went a week early, so I didnt' have to worry - but I know people who did these things to help it along

Lots of walking
Sex
Driving on a bumpy road
drink some castor oil
eating spicy food

Good luck!

Answer 9

several of my friends have been told to take walks and to have sex - actually here it is the female orgasm that is the important part. orgasm is said to start uterine contractions by using the same muscle areas.

oh yeah - and my mom went into labor early by kick-starting her harley ---no joke it was a father's day poker run and the guys tried to say she was too big to ride, so she was going to show them otherwise.

Answer 10

Correct. Lots of Sex!!! Couple times a day along with walking/riding a bike, sit on an excersing ball and roll around. It softens the cervix.
