This may not sound too tempting to you but your partner may disagree, especially if your nipples will be off limits for him once the little one gets born. According to midwives one of the methods of start labor on your own is to have ounces of castor oil. You might want to add it to milk to make it tastier. This is the right way to go if you want to speed up early labor. Castor oil will make things move in the intestines and this may cause contractions in the uterus as well.
Although some people swear that this one of the ways to induce labor on your own really works, the specialists are really skeptical about it. Dates are a proven way to help with dilatation and effacement.
Say Aloha to pineapple as it is said to induce labor and has some science behind it. During a study- doctors have found that pineapple can cause uterine contractions as well as the ripening of the cervix.
You can try fresh or frozen pineapple and even pineapple juice! Cohosh is an herb commonly used to promote effacement and contractions. This herb is usually found as a liquid supplement, and a few drops every day will supposedly bring on labor.
Many midwives recommend cohosh for inducing labor naturally, but you should check with yours specifically before trying it out. Castor Oil has been used to induce labor for decades. It has proved to be a very successful method to induce labor, but can be dangerous.
Doctors or midwives will commonly tell patients about the indicator. Some women completely miss the contractions and can be in active labor when their water breaks.
Be sure to tour your birthing center or hospital and take a test drive- timing how long it takes you to get there. Preparation is key and knowing where to go beforehand will sort of help ease the stress of labor! Make sure hospital bags are packed and that the car seat is installed. You will do great!

Several women swear that after one or two nights of inserting capsules near their cervix, they went into labor. To use EPO, you can break the EPO capsule and rub the oil on your cervix at nighttime, or you can insert the capsules vaginally before you go to bed.
The moist environment of the vagina will melt the capsule and disperse the gel throughout the cervix. Be sure to wear a pad or have something under you while you sleep since it can leak. Another option is taking it orally. Let me first say. I am not a big fan of castor oil. It is a major controversial induction option. The reason is castor oil has a high content of ricinoleic acid, which, when ingested, is absorbed in the intestine and causes intense intestinal cramping, vomiting, and diarrhea because it acts as a strong laxative.
It also tastes disgusting. However, many people believe that castor oil induces labor. Some pregnant women say that it gave them nothing but a bad case of diarrhea. No fun. This one can be quite uncomfortable. This is something that your doctor or midwife could do at one of your prenatal visits. What happens is your doctor or midwife will do a vaginal exam , and they will reach to your cervix to check your effacement and dilation. Once they can feel that you have had some progress, they will run their fingers around the edge of the amniotic sac and the uterus.
Then, they will gently try to separate it from your uterine wall.
