These methods may help ripen your cervix-making it soften, efface and dilate.

Just try these



* Sex

* Food

* Nipple Stimulation

* Herbs

* Castor Oil

* Acupressure



Sex

You've heard it said before, but at nine months pregnant, you might not be as excited at the prospect as the man in your life.



Food

OK, now that we've tackled the big question, let's discuss something much easier to accomplish. I'm sure that at some point you've probably heard of this way as well.



Nipple Stimulation

This is one of the natural ways to induce labor that you may never have run across. Oddly enough, it is one of the most effective.



Herbs

Historically, the next topic on our list has been used worldwide by pregnant women. Before things like pitocin and cervidil were invented, midwives knew that certain herbs induce labor.





Castor Oil

Along the same lines as herbs, many oils can be used for inducing labor naturally. Some are taken in pill form whereas others are applied topically or swallowed in liquid form. Foremost among these is the practice of using castor oil to induce labor.



Acupressure

this next method is by far the most relaxing, comfortable one to try. If it doesn't work, you'll still be glad you tried.





The last idea I'd like to mention is a method that you are using every day without realizing it. Every time you walk, you are using one of the natural ways to induce labor. Yes, that's right. Walking is a time-honored method of speeding labor. It uses the forces of gravity to aid in ripening the cervix to prepare for the birth of your new baby. With every step you take to the bathroom, remember you're one step closer to labor

oh yea...duh... rub your boobs while you walk!! rub them puppies til you got popeye arms!!! hahahaha
Reply:first off, don't try anything until you are past you due date! second, nipple stimulation is a proven method. try using a breast pump for about 15 minutes, wait 5 minutes, and do it again. keep that up for a few hours, and if your baby is ready, you'll start contracting! good luck!
Reply:I didn't try that but I did try rasperry leaf tea. And that didn't work at all for me. And I ate pineapple and spicy foods. And I walked everyday, long walks, and I don't think that did anything for me either. Pretty much, he just came when he wanted to... which was 4 days late.
Reply:the only safe and fairly reliable way that I know to induce labor is nipple stimulation, and then only once you have reached 40 weeks. I have several friends that used breastpumps ( under a midwife or dr care), to naturally induce labor.
Reply:well i do squats, hott baths but relax while in the bath, up and down 5 flights every day, walk aleast around your block twice a day and cinemon tea try all these youll feel some type of contraction trust me i feel little contractions right now but im not ganna quit ima go exserzise good luck...
Reply:Its doesnt help your cervix to dilate, it helps to soften your cervix making it more favorable for dilation and effacement to occur.
Reply:Try good ol sex! We had sex one night and my labor pains started at 6:45 the next morning and my daughter was born @ 9:56! I believe in it and will be trying it again this time! :)
