Common Questions and Answers about How to start contractions naturally

contractions

I am almost 38 weeks pregnant and I'm 3-4cm dilated. Can anyone give me any ideas to help naturally induce labor or to get contractions started? I've been walking, my husband and I have been having sex, I even tired the milk and orange juice thing... Abutting else? My belly feels so tight just no steady contractions.

^_^ good luck!.. well the best I heard is sex helps because the sperm has I forgot what in it that can start your contractions.. some fresh pineapple helps! If you walk a lot and go up stairs it can help open your cervix and hips more..

ve walked, went up and down stairs, had sex and squated for days now and nothing happens. My Dr wants to induce but I want baby to come naturally and I think I cant wait much longer. The pain is very annoying and I don't feel good at all! What do you ladies recomend?! Need something urgently!

I had sex abt 1hr and a half ago. Wasn't tryin to start contractions but I'm getting them three min apart right now.

I would talk to your doctor also. They might be able to tell you ways to naturally start labor. Walking, sex etc.

Im trying walking sex and evening primrose oil everyday...just started a few days ago my next apt is for 39 weeksTuesday so ill find out if anything has changed since 37+6.

Im in the same boat told myself I wouldn't go to l&d unless I cant handle contractions anymore, water brakes, I start to bleed. If not id be going everyday.

re due date is an estimate and you may go over. Its best to just let it happen naturally as trying to self induce can be dangerous if your body isn't ready.

So, I'm 38 weeks along. I am SO ready to meet this boy. I'm having contractions so frequently, but they're so irregular I know they're not "real" labor contractions yet. Anyone have any tips to induce the real thing instead of these frequent, painful, but irregular contractions?! Haha I know they say sex, but seriously- that's the last resort I'm hoping for this far along :) ha! Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Just curious, did u have any idea labor was about to start? Any niggly pains beforehand? And how far along were you when it happened?

37+5

I'm 40+6 weeks and have another sweep tomorrow morning. But if this doesn't work then I'm being induced on Tuesday. How bad is the pain compared to naturally going into labor.

Chances are dangerous when you're water breaks, if you don't start labor naturally. Didn't think losing your mucus plug increased chance if infection. ?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows how to naturally jump start labor. I'm currently 50% effaced but haven't starred to dilate.

I wanna know how bat it really is to be induced compared to naturally going into labor on ur own??? Is it really strong n hard contractions right away and do they always have to break ur water???

It's hard for me not to stress. Always things ony mind. Worry about money, OH bday next week n his present I ordered wont make it in time anymore as they emailed me saying the stock computer has a fault and do not have what I want. N I'm worried about labor itself :/ dear me. I need a spa!
