Will stress induce labor?

Question

I’m 39+2 weeks pregnant and have tried sex, walking, bouncing on a ball, and pineapple to induce labor, but nothing has help because I’m still not dilated any. Today the heat went off in our house and our landlord is not wanting to pay to fix it. My husbands attitude also isn’t help so I’ve been extremely stressed all day.

Answer

Labour will start when baby is ready to be born ☺️ Stress might not be helpful though, ideally you’ll want to go into the birth process as calm and relaxed as possible. Being tense and stressed would only hold things up more I imagine. The body doesn’t feel safe to birth.

Answer

Stress actually inhibits labor. Labor is driven by the hormone oxytocin, which doesn’t like the stress hormone, cortisol, at all.

Answer

Yes it can but your so late in the game it wouldn’t be worrisome if you did
