Head start on labor?

Question

I'm just wondering if there's a way to get a head start on labor? I'm 37 weeks pregnant and I'm not saying for NOW, I'd just like to what worked for you? Walking every evening? Spicy food? Sex?

Answer

You cant safely start labor yourself.

Answer

Nothing unless you are ready. I walk all the time (demanding job), sex at least 5 times a week, spicy food is something I crave, and am eating dates (doc recommended because of my complications last pregnancy) and I’m 34w with no sign of labor. Your body will go when ready as much as it sucks to hear that

Answer

I tried absolutely everything and I mean EVERY safe home induction method there was starting at 37 weeks. Nothing worked. I got to 40+6 and went walking for 3 hours around a shopping centre and I started having contractions during the night. Delivered her at 41+1. Although, I was overdue so I probably would of gone into labor anyway despite the walking 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Look up pressure point SP6.  I went to my doctor on a Friday at 39w and my doctor said I was no where near going into labor. She scheduled me for an induction for the following Thursday.  That Sunday afternoon I found out about the pressure point, my husband put pressure on it and rubbed in circles on and off for about an hour and I started having contractions less than 6 hours later.

Answer

Evening primrose oil taken orally and vaginally May help some aspects of labor.

Answer

Sperm helps to soften your cervix but it won't put you into labor if you're not ready. Nothing else works except a sweep.
