Answer 1

there is no way that you can make yourself go into labor. the baby will come out when it wants to. everything you hear about are just old wives tales.

Answer 2

OOOOHHH!! You must feel miserable if you are trying to rush it. Enjoy everyday that you are pregnant...because these will be the last few days that you will be able to rest when you want to and the eat when you want not to mention leave the house freely.
You know if you do find a way to cause labor...and the baby and Your body is not really ready for it..your baby could be at risk for stress and infections if things don't go in proper order.
I wish you luck...I hope your baby is healthy and beautiful and I hope your labor is fast and painless.

Answer 3

That might be why you can't go into labor..you had sex too much. When I had sex it hadn't had sex for at least a month and that brought on my labor, but try spicy foods, things like that, but let the baby come when it's ready, I made myself go into labor and my baby stayed in the hospital for 2 days because of severe jaundice. So don't rush it

Answer 4

Nothing you do will make the baby come fast. I have heard people say to walk, have sex, stand on your hand and count to 10 with your eyes shut.....ok, the last is not true...but the baby will come when it comes. My mom told me to drink castor oil with my 2nd child, and I did....but it just made me poop and cramp. No baby. You can't control it. Nature does. When the baby is ready, it will happen....unless your doctor induces labor....but there would have to be a medical reason to do so.

Answer 5

38 weeks is considered full term, but they prefer you to go longer as there can still be complications. I realise how hard it is the last few weeks and how much you just want it out, but really, it will only come when it wants to. Also having the baby early doesnt mean its going to be fast!

Answer 6

Your baby will come when it is ready. You can't start your labor whenever you want to. You need to relax and have some patience. I know it is hard to do toward the end of a pregnancy but the baby will be here before you know it. Good luck.

Answer 7

Hello, I mopped my floor and scrubbed it on my hands and knees, when that did not do the trick I weeded my garden and vacuumed the entire house, and I started going into labor, my sister ironed, all I can tell you is, have alot of sex, and stretch your muscles....if anything your house will be clean.. take care and good luck

Answer 8

Well...keep having sex for one. Secondly, I've heard castor oil helps but haven't tried it. Truth is, no matter what you do, that baby isn't coming until he or she is darn good and ready. I know that sucks, but trust me when I tell you this. I have two kids and another on the way. Good luck to you!

Answer 9

My adivse is always sex and walk walk walk walk walkbut if the baby isn't ready nothing is going to help...hang in there and don't do anything stupid like castor oil or primw rose pil...they can haver very serious complications for you and yor precious little baby...you've waited this long don't do anything to screw it up now!

Ways To Make Labor and Birth Easier
by Lori Ramsey

Pregnancy brings on a lot of new changes in your body. Whether or not it took you a long time to conceive - you are no doubt excited about finally being pregnant and looking forward to the day that your baby will be placed into your loving arms.

But that day can bring on certain fears - of the unknown - especially if you’ve never experienced birth before. But relax, there are things you can do to prepare for that day - whether you are planning a home birth, a hospital birth - going at it naturally - allowing an epidural or even planning a cesarean.

The best advice I can give for preparation for the delivery day is education. Read all you can on the process of labor and birth. Ignorance is not the blissful way of approaching such an important milestone in your life. Knowledge of what your body will be going through on that day will greatly help to alleviate the stress and fear of childbirth. There are countless books, magazines, true-life TV shows and websites that are chocked full of information.

Take a childbirth class. This is a great way to have the opportunity to ask questions and to learn what you are to go through. It’s also beneficial - because you will choose a childbirth class that will narrow down to the type of birth you wish to experience. I am very thankful for the 2 different childbirth classes I took with my first 2 children.

Exercise. This will benefit your body in more than one way. Find an exercise that is approved by your healthcare provider. Exercising during pregnancy will not only prepare your body for labor and delivery - it will give you a leg up on loosing that pregnancy weight after the baby arrives. Exercise will greatly help labor and birth to be easier and possibly quicker.

Do the perineum massage. This will help to possibly avoid an episiotomy. About 6 weeks before your due date - take some (vegetable, olive or vitamin E) oil or some type of lubrication on two (clean) thumbs (with trimmed nails) put pressure toward your rectum - at the perineum - about to the first knuckle of your finger until it burns - about 2 minutes. Then gently massage and stretch the area for about one to five minutes. You will build up to this - as it strengthens and conditions the perineum for birth. Finally gently massage the tissues between your thumb and forefinger back and forth for one minute. Do this every night - you can even have your partner do this to add some spice!

Learn the methods of helping to move labor along. Had I known this with my first pregnancy I believe my labor wouldn’t have had to be induced. I simply laid there - not knowing that I could get up - or at the very least to even turn over in bed to help augment labor. Instead I got the maximum Pitocin drip (the drug used to cause uterine contractions) and ended up having to have my water broken. If you are able - walking and moving around - changing positions will greatly help labor to advance.

Another good thing on making labor and delivery easier is to practice your breathing exercises that you learned in childbirth class. Whether it is Lamaze or Bradley - these will help you to relax and remain calm - even if you are having a cesarean.

Knowing what you are headed into will be the most effective way of easing labor and delivery. That will knock out the fear of the unknown and prepare you for what to expect. Even if things don’t go as planned - which happens sometimes so prepare for it.

Write a birth plan and go over it with your doctor or midwife. Make sure to be flexible and open to the possibility that you may have to change a few things. This way you will know for sure what actions will be taken once labor hits and there will be no surprises. Leave room in the birth plan for the unexpected too - such as emergency cesareans.

Give all this advice some thought and try to relax. Mentally go over your big day in your mind - going over all possible situations - this will help to prepare for the “what-ifs.” If your childbirth class does not include a tour of your hospital or go over hospital procedures (if you plan on giving birth in a hospital) then make arrangements to tour the labor and delivery unit at your hospital and ask the nurse to go over all the things that could possibly happen with you once you are checked in. This will help to familiarize yourself for the big event and help you to better visualize the big day.

Above all, talk to your doctor or midwife at length about any concerns or questions you may have. Don’t be afraid to find out all you can - as fear is the base of stress and stress can make the labor and birth hard. Knowledge erases fear. Look forward to the day with confidence and assurance that you are as ready as can be.
