How early to self induce labor?

Question

How early can you safely self induce labor? Like at what week? And what are some safe effective ways to induce labor on your own?

Answer

Your baby will come on its own. You shouldn't self induced without a doctor's consent.

Answer

New standards don't have you as full term until 39 weeks. You are considered early term at 37 weeks (the old benchmark for full term). Unless your body is ready to go into labor, self-induction methods will likely do more harm than good. Most food-based induction methods are just old wives tales. Sex, walking, birth ball, squats can help to soften and open your cervix. I wouldn't try anything prior to 39 weeks.

Answer

I got induce at 38 weeks because I had high blood pressure and they was scared I was 2cm when they kept me I was having contractions back to back when I first went in I was just a finger tip and then 30min pass I was 2cm so they induce me ended up having a c-section so try to not get induce just work out and get that baby moving lol

Answer

After 37 weeks is when my ob said I could! I bounced, danced, did squats, had sex, and lots of walking!

Answer

39 weeks is full term. Anytime you go into labor before that, your baby is not 100% ready to be out. That said there's a difference between self inducing and just encouraging labor for your body- methods like castor oil and herbal inductions are not safe, and really should only be used when you are facing a medical induction because you are 40, 41+ weeks and you are trying to avoid pitocin. But walking a lot, using a yoga ball, sex, squatting, nipple stimulation, etc are all completely fine to be doing at 36, 37 weeks because they won't make you go into labor, they just work with your body to progress labor and make your body more ready to go into labor when it's time.

Answer

I wouldn't until your 39th week.

Answer

Try the labor dance. YouTube it lol it's fun and effective.

Answer

It's never going to effective unless your body is ready. 
And it's not safe honestly. 
Yeah, the last few weeks of pregnancy suck, but they're major for baby's development.
