6991914 tn?1405466946 Ok so I've herd that nipple stimulation can help bring on labor. Has anyone ever tried it and been successful and if so what exactly do you do lol.
Avatar f tn Do not do it for 45min each side!!!!!! Nipple stimulation realses oxytocin, and like pitocin the synthetic version it causes contractions.. often used to progress labor or when the baby latches irritable breastfeeding to help the uterus go back to size. However!!! You are not supposed to do more then 15min a side, it causes contractions you can but you baby into distress. If your going to do it set a timer, do it for a min on one side and stop if you get a contraction.

Avatar f tn You do it till the contraction starts then stop and wait out the contractions. Once the contractions stop you start it again and again pause once contractions start and keep repeating til the contractions keep coming. It can take less than an hour to all day of continued cycles. My Dr told the midwife to have me use a breast pump and she informed him I was still nursing my toddler, he said to have me pump between nursing to keep cycles repeating.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone has tried nipple stimulation? Does it work? Did it give you contractions?
Avatar f tn has anyone done hand nipple stimulation to help induce labor? Please help ladies, if so how did you do it? Is colostrum supposed to come out? If it does does that mean thats how its supposed to be done?
Avatar f tn Have anyone ever tried nipple stimulation? How many weeks do you have to be to try this?
Avatar f tn So I'm 38+1 and I'm doing nipple stimulation w. My automatic breast pump . I erect the nipple then place pump on for 4 minutes . then rest 4 minutes . erect the other nipple and place pump on for 4 minutes . then rest 4 minutes . after about a total of 16 minutes on both breast I rest for 30 . and I can actually say its been giving me more braxton hicks than what I've been having .
Avatar f tn I've read that nipple stimulation can start your labour is this true and has anyone tried it if so how often do you need to do it and for how long??
Avatar f tn Nipple stimulation releases oxytocin, which cause uterine contractions. It's also one of the reasons breastfeeding is recommended asap after birth - to help you deliver your placenta and make your uterus shrink back to normal. So yes, it can start labor. I had a friend lay on her couch and play with her nipples to get her labor started. She said it took about two hours. But depending how ready your body is, it could be shorter or not at all.
10369646 tn?1418193617 While at the hospital I did nipple stimulation to try help with my labor it gave me contractions but caused my daughter's heart rate to drop every time I had a contraction so I had to get an emergency c section.

Avatar f tn Okay thanks! I've tried nipple stimulation.. it gives me contractions but not regular ones and I stop when they get too intense , if you do it while watching tv or use a breastpump it may not turn you on..
Avatar n tn Sex. The oxytocin released when you are stimulated, same with nipple stimulation, induces contractions.
6498330 tn?1389709379 Nipple stimulation brings the oxytocin out to help the contractions and your just massaging your nipples with your fingers. That is all I know.
Avatar f tn ve never tried it but to answer the question. Nipple stimulation is one of the many ways to achieve an orgasm. Orgasms can trigger labor.
Avatar f tn I tried everything and I mean everything. Sex nipple stimulation red rasberry leaf tea walking squating bouncing on a ball capsules inside acupunture acupressure point massage nothing worked. The dr did a membrane sweep I went into labour about 14 hrs later. Third birth and it went fir over 40 hrs....I believe it went that long because she wasnt ready and my body wasn't prepared but the sweep forced my body to start. It was long n painful but worth it. .... good luck with all that u try.

Avatar f tn You can try to milk yourself manually. My midwife suggested nipple stimulation. Obviously your milk won't be in until bub arrives but you should get some colostrum.
