Does anyone know of any tricks/methods to bring on labour?
Im 37 weeks pregnant and have not had a decent nights sleep since I was 20 weeks. I am so uncomfortable all the time and being on maternity leave, so bored with nothing to do. Plus, I keep getting told by everyone that first babies are always late, sometimes upto 2 weeks late.. and I cannot bear another 5 weeks of this..
I’ve heard hot milk with cruhsed almonds is one way to encourage labour, does anyone know of any other methods..?
So even if you use tried-and-proven methods, they will not work if baby isnt ready yet.
Nipple stimulation and orgasm both boost the natural hormone (oxytocin) needed for labor. The synthetic version of oxytocin is Pitocin, an IV medication they use for induced labor.
Less aggressive and less-proven methods include walking and eating spicy foods. Walking is never a bad idea. Spicy foods I'd be wary of lol! You dont want to deal with spicy-puke AND labor at the same time!!
Out of my four kids, 3 were late....(one decided to surprise me and was born in 32nd week) I was always told to walk and climb stairs as much as i can. n btw this isn't really a desi way...as i was advised by my german doctor. And to tell you the truth, i really can't say it made any difference. No matter how much i walked, they always wanted to come late. oh so desi!!! :D
I drank this horrible mixture of milk, desi ghee(n we're talking tons like 2 tbsp) and a pinch of saffron from the 36th week cuz my mom was really persistant...I have no idea whether it helped ornot but I did gain a lot of weight...arghh.. my son did come one week early..n he's my first...also, have lots of pineapple n it's juice cuz apparently it helps to kick start labour...
TMI warning!
It may sound a bit odd but give it a try...sit down with your knees bent like u would on a desi wc ..n push down like u are constipated...
not always first babies r late. mine first was earlier 2nd was 10 days late.
last few days can be hard but man i don't wanna go labour pain n that dreadful delivery pushing thing again. so enjoy ur time.
Boil sawayan in some water, strain that water and drink it for some days (everyday preferably).
I heard this from a woman who recently gave birth and claims this helped kickstart her labor.
my cousins and aunties all said the ame thing, hot milk, ghee,badam, and something else, il get back to you....and drink this one glass daily in last month, and twice a day in the last week....
its sounds disgusting....esp the ghee..ewwwwwwwwwww
but is meant for a hopefully easier labour.....not sure if its meant to bring baby sooner....hang in there....
im 6months..and so far its ok...however i have heard last 3 months are the worst...:
i know some people have tried all types of ways to kickstart their labours. castor oils, drinking pineapples, sex, lots of walking, eating spicy foods etc but nothing worked.
but i guess when baby is ready to come, he'll come.
Raspberry Leaf tea from Whole Foods in the US worked for me. If you are in any other Western country try any helath store. I asked my doctor prior to trying this and she said it was fine.
eastern, how many cups were you drinking, were you late...pls share details ...
I wasn't late just a few days before my due date. I was due on the 17th and I drank just one cup on the night of the 12th. At 4 am I was in labor and delivered a baby on the 14th.
im 6months..and so far its ok...however i have heard last 3 months are the worst...:
If you keep taking milk, fruits and healthy diet then there would not be any problem during the last trimester. I, myself is about to finish my 6th month and not having much problem by the grace of Allah. InshAllah everything will be fine with you :)
my bhabi eat like ½ kg of walnuts when she was expecting her son and same night the labor pain started (as she told us)
and my sil got told that just do the stuff massis do in pakistan so she took over with jharo marna pocha marna and one night she thought to do her husband laundry by her self she sat like u do in those pakistani bathrooms and did the laundy in hand and and same the next day she had a baby boy
