When will the birth occur? All women who are waiting for the birth of their baby think about this question. In most cases, and this occurs after the 37th week of pregnancy. However, there are also medical conditions in which the birth of a child should take place earlier.

There are cases when labor begins spontaneously, and then progresses more and more slowly, and then stops altogether. This is called weak labor. Therefore, when contractions stop or are not intense enough for the baby to appear, doctors begin to induce labor.

Induction of labor in the maternity hospital

Stimulation or artificial induction of labor must be done very carefully. During the procedure, doctors try to make sure that one contraction takes place in 3-5 minutes and no more. If after 3-4 hours of stimulation there are still no results, and labor does not begin, then you need to do a caesarean section and remove the baby.

Doctors associate a decrease in labor activity with constant disruption of a woman’s menstrual cycle, with the occurrence of endocrine problems and with inflammation of certain organs. There are several methods of modern labor stimulation. An experienced doctor should choose the one that best suits the woman in labor.

If the reason for delayed labor is that the cervix is ​​not ready to open, then prostaglandins are used to “ripen” it. These are hormones that immediately begin to influence labor. The main advantage of this method of stimulation is that the side effects are minimal, and the dilatation of the cervix is ​​quite significant.

When a woman in labor experiences weak contractile activity of the uterus, doctors use the method of amniotomy - opening the amniotic sac. Thanks to this method, an outpouring of amniotic fluid is caused, after which the pressure inside the uterus begins to drop, the baby’s head begins to press on the pelvic bones, the cervix opens - and labor begins. The amniotomy method is also safe for the child and mother; complications can occur very rarely.

However, if even after opening the amniotic sac, contractions do not begin, then they need to be stimulated. For the procedure, doctors use an analogue of the natural hormone that a woman’s pituitary gland produces during childbirth. Oxytocin can be used in the form of tablets or intravenously - this is the most common method. The only disadvantage of use is that the woman will have to be limited in her movements, since she will need to lie under a drip. Oxytocin is used together with antispasmodics - drugs that relax the muscles of the uterus. All doses must be selected individually. Contraindications to the use of oxytocin include the inability to give birth to a child through the birth canal, abnormal fetal position, and hypersensitivity to the drug.

It should also be taken into account that induction of labor is not always justified. Any methods of this procedure have their contraindications. Stimulation is not carried out if:

• the size of the child’s head does not correspond to the size of the mother’s pelvis;
• the baby inside the mother is not feeling well, judging by the readings of the heart monitor;
• the fruit is not positioned correctly;
• Mom has health problems.

The decision to induce labor is made by the doctor. At the same time, he must weigh the pros and cons of such a procedure. Induction of labor is justified only if:

• observed;
• and no contractions after the 38th week;
• there are appropriate medical indications;
• there is a disruption during childbirth;
• the cervix does not dilate;
• contractions stop abruptly;
• the woman is too tired from contractions.

Childbirth after stimulation

No one can predict with certainty how the birth of your child will go. And this does not depend on whether labor stimulation was used. However, the “medical” acceleration of events during childbirth leaves its mark on the process itself, which, according to the laws of nature, should take place without any intervention or acceleration.

In particular, there is evidence (and the experience of women in labor who have gone through artificial stimulation confirms this) that labor with drug stimulation is more uncomfortable for the woman in labor, since the pain due to the use of drugs intensifies and is felt more acutely. However, practice also proves that, among other things, the mother’s fear of pain contributes to prolongation of the labor process. Therefore, you need to calm down, learn to relax and cope with pain. Remember that during childbirth, a woman’s pain threshold decreases, and she is able to withstand any pain without risking her life - this is provided by nature. Think about the child: he now urgently needs your support and help. Don’t forget that childbirth is also a serious test for him, which he passes with dignity!

And do not be upset if labor has to be induced: this is done solely in the interests of the child. Although, of course, it is better to talk to your doctor in advance so that drug stimulation (if suddenly) is resorted to only in case of emergency according to strict indications (alas, labor has been stimulated more and more recently).

However, if a woman is truly overbearing her pregnancy, then she can try to induce contractions on her own - at home, while time allows.

Natural stimulation of labor

Many women begin to stimulate labor without even setting such a goal. They simply continue with their normal lifestyle, going about their daily activities, but some of these activities in late pregnancy speed up the dilatation of the cervix and cause the onset of labor. Sex, in particular, has such properties. Irritation of the cervix during intercourse leads to the beginning of its dilatation. In addition, male sperm contains substances that also affect the processes of labor. And active contractions of the uterus during orgasm further enhance the labor-stimulating effect. That is why there are many cases where women gave birth easily, quickly and simply the very next day after a quality night spent with their husband.

A good and safe provocation of labor is nipple stimulation, which can be performed not only by a partner during sex, but even by the woman herself if she begins to carry her pregnancy to term. Irritation of the nipple area leads to the production of the hormone oxytocin, which is necessary for the birth process to occur.

Any physical activity can induce the onset of labor naturally: be it a long or intense walk, gymnastics, or cleaning around the house. If a woman is already pregnant, then in any case she can give birth within a few hours after such activity.

Some people advise taking a fairly warm bath to speed up the onset of labor. But you should be careful with this method, and if your water has already broken, then you shouldn’t use it at all.

There are other ways to lure your baby into the world. Among them there are also some that are quite amusing: for example, shining a flashlight in the lower abdomen, attracting the child’s attention and directing him to the “exit.” Meanwhile, they do not help everyone.

Do not forget that the baby may linger in the tummy for a reason: perhaps the time has not yet come. Or maybe it’s time to let doctors act if examinations confirm that the baby is not doing well in the womb. In any case, remember that a positive attitude is one of the most important factors in this matter. Be prepared for the best, and know that there are safe methods that will help you give birth to a healthy baby!

Especially for- Maryana Surma

The last weeks of pregnancy always seem to be the most difficult for a woman: her belly is already so large that it is difficult for her to move, she suffers from insomnia at night and shortness of breath during the day, and is also overcome by other “charms” - heartburn, swelling, etc. Therefore, the desire to give birth as soon as possible, and, therefore, it is quite natural to cause contractions. The impatience of the expectant mother increases when the obstetric due date has passed, and labor has not begun. And since a post-term pregnancy can have a bad effect on the child’s health, sometimes a woman is overcome with real anxiety. But don't rush to panic! In this article we will talk about how natural methods can stimulate labor and thereby speed up the meeting with the baby.

How to induce labor at home (natural stimulation)?

If you are tired of looking for signs of the onset of labor, and you do not want to carry your baby to term, then we recommend that you use one or more of the above methods of natural stimulation of labor:

All these methods do not have scientific proof, however, they have been tested by women for many years and therefore have the right to exist. If you have tried any of the above methods of stimulation and it did not suit you, do not be discouraged! Every woman’s body reacts to the same method differently, so try it and find your own!

Weak labor

If you still managed to induce contractions at home, but they turned out to be very weak, then you urgently need to take some measures to stimulate labor. Here's what might help you:

• Long walk
• Walking up and down the stairs
• Washing floors by hand
• Colon cleansing enema

After the start of contractions, you should never take any painkillers, such as No-Spa, etc. They only help well if you are at risk of premature birth - they calm the muscles of the uterus and prevent it from contracting. On the contrary, you now need to stimulate contractions. So give your body a chance to cope on its own.

All women eagerly await the onset of childbirth. But what to do when forty weeks are already behind you, and there are still no contractions? From this moment on, the pregnant woman begins to worry, because contractions did not begin on the day prescribed by the doctor. But don't sound the alarm right away. After all, doctors are people too and they tend to make mistakes. And in order not to spoil your nervous system, you must first acquire information about how you can induce contractions at home and how they do it in the hospital.

Is there a need to speed up labor?

There is probably not a single pregnant woman who has forgotten her estimated due date. But it is also worth remembering that labor can begin earlier or later than expected. From 38 to 42 weeks. If the baby is born during this period, it will be considered full term. Therefore, it may not be worth interfering with natural processes unless necessary. If there are no complaints about your health, then it may not be worth taking any measures to start contractions. But to be completely sure of this, you must be examined in a hospital. For example, in order to find out how the baby feels in most cases after 38 weeks, doctors do CTG. If there is even the slightest suspicion that something is wrong with the child, the attending physician may prescribe an unscheduled ultrasound. In most cases, women who are over 40 weeks pregnant do not want to start labor with drugs. Then they begin to look for ways to stimulate labor without leaving home. There are several proven and highly successful methods of home stimulation.

1. Walking. This method has always been very useful for a pregnant woman. In addition, it is completely safe, and increased activity of the mother can speed up the onset of labor.
2. Sex. Probably few people know that male sperm contains prostaglandins. These substances may be administered to a woman in the hospital for stimulation in the form of drugs. They help soften the cervix and cause contractions. Plus, orgasm also causes strong contractions of the uterus. Therefore, sex is not only a safe, but also a pleasant way of stimulation.
. This is also a good option with which you can not only induce contractions, but also do a lot of housework. The main thing in this matter is not to overdo it and not to forget that a heavy load can harm the child.
3. Warm bath. This method is contraindicated for those women whose blood pressure increases greatly. In addition, you need to be very careful, because if the water is too hot, it can cause unforeseen complications during childbirth.
4. Food. If other methods seem very dangerous to you, then you can try to eat more food rich in fiber. Thus, the intestines will work more actively and thereby force the uterus to contract.
5. Aromatherapy. This method cannot be called very effective, but there are still cases where odors contributed to the onset of labor. But do not forget that essential oils can cause allergies.

Stimulating contractions with medications in the maternity hospital

If you are afraid to start stimulation yourself, then it’s okay. This can be done in the hospital using various medications. They are selected very carefully. After all, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the pregnant woman, because the body simply may not accept some of them.

Whatever stimulation method you choose, don’t worry. After all, the baby will still be born exactly when he is completely ready. Therefore, despite the strong desire to give birth as quickly as possible, it is probably not worth interfering with the pregnancy until the last minute.

The due date is individual, but there is a preliminary date, the achievement of which becomes the goal, and the mother focuses on it throughout the pregnancy. If labor does not begin, and the body is ready to release the fetus, in 10% of cases, induction of labor at home is allowed.

It is unacceptable to draw conclusions about untimely labor based only on the PDR (preliminary date of delivery). After 40 obstetric weeks of pregnancy, there is a reason to speed up the onset of labor at home. Without an examination, the conclusion of post-maturity cannot be made. Biologically, diagnosis is possible only after 42 obstetric weeks.

Before deciding to induce labor, procedures are prescribed: ultrasound, CTG, blood tests. This assesses the readiness of the fetus for childbirth, the quality of the placenta, the dilatation of the uterus and the general health of the mother.

Proponents of artificial stimulation remind us of the risks of postmaturity. At a period of 40 weeks or more, the child is physiologically ready to be in the outside world, but due to the thick walls of the membranes, the bladder does not burst in time. As a result, complications arise, so timely stimulation is worth the risks.

Opinion in favor:

1. the child does not receive nutrients because the placenta wears out and ages;
2. there is a risk of asphyxia due to leakage of amniotic fluid, inferior placental tissue, pressure on the head;
3. For the mother, the risk of a caesarean section increases.

It is allowed to hasten the birth at home only for a period of 40 weeks or more, after examination by a gynecologist and an ultrasound scan of the fetus. If a woman decides to speed up the birth of her baby, only because she thinks it’s time, there is a danger of giving birth to an underdeveloped child.

Opinions against

1. the uterus is not ready;
2. birth ruptures;
3. surgical intervention.

Obstetricians are inclined to induce labor at the scheduled time. Since this is one of the ways to avoid complications. No more than 3% of women carry a fetus longer than 42 weeks.

Indications for stimulation

There are clear indications when labor can be induced. In critical cases, the procedure is prescribed only within the maternity hospital. But it is recommended to start preparing at home, which will reduce the risk of cesarean section and other complications.

Indications:

• pregnancy from 40 weeks;
• if the size of the fetus exceeds 4.5 kg;
• multiple births;
• gestational diabetes;
• thyroid diseases;
• renal failure.

If there are no concomitant pathologies, it is permissible to help accelerate labor. But with abundant leakage of amniotic fluid, stimulation and support of labor takes place only in the maternity hospital. It is unacceptable to induce labor at home if the previous delivery was by caesarean section, and this time the natural route is planned.

Contraindications:

• scars on the uterus;
• malposition;
• discrepancy between the circumference of the child’s head and the pelvic ring;
• sufficient uterine activity according to CTG, with normal fetal condition.

In these cases, stimulation during postmaturity is carried out using medications (oxytocin) under the supervision of a doctor. If labor begins at home, the risk of complications is 90%.

Obstetricians and gynecologists recommend taking stimulant medications with special caution. Incorrect dosage calculation and inattention to contraindications will harm the baby.

Use with caution:

1. injections;
2. pills;
3. dropper;
4. acupuncture.

A child who, according to the results of CTG, develops fully, does not require outside intervention. Delivery will occur when the mother’s body is completely ready. Only 4% of women give birth according to the preliminary due date, and only 6-8% need stimulation.

Stimulation methods

The main goal of stimulation techniques is to accelerate the dilatation of the cervix at home, by increasing the body’s production of oxytocin or prostaglandins. Hormones affect the softness of tissues and increased muscle contraction, which leads to contractions.

How to induce labor at home:

• nipple stimulation;
• sex with orgasm;
• acupressure;
• kelp seaweed;
• candles;
• hot bath;
• spicy food;
• herbs;
• pineapple;
• physical activity;
• intestinal stimulation.

Nipple stimulation. You need to massage your breasts, twist your nipples, and press on them for about 10-20 minutes. Oil or softening cream against microcracks is first applied. Actions stimulate the production of oxytocin, a hormone that effectively helps stimulate labor at home.

Sex. During sex, the walls of the uterus are affected, orgasm causes frequent rhythmic contractions, and an influx of oxytocin is felt. Contractions begin within 30 minutes; if no signs of labor appear during this time, there is little chance that contractions will occur later.

Acupressure. The point on the membrane between the thumb and index finger is intensively massaged by pressing for 1-2 minutes, with a break of 30 seconds. A similar effect should be applied to a point located above the ankle joint, at a distance of 3-4 cm. Repeat 5-7 times a day.

Laminaria. Thick sticks, the size of a tampon, are made from the stems and leaves. The stick is inserted deep into the vagina. The plant, under the influence of secretion, produces prostaglandin, the cervical canal expands, which allows birth to begin at home.

Candles. Used: Buxopan (rectal), Papaverine, No-shpa. The drugs stimulate blood flow, soften the walls, and increase elasticity. During childbirth they help to avoid injuries and ruptures.

Spicy food. To digest complex food, more intense contractions of the walls of the stomach and other components of the gastrointestinal tract are necessary; contractile impulses are transmitted to the uterus. The method should not be used by women with stomach diseases.

Herbs and oils. It is useful to drink raspberry tea with lemon or an infusion from the leaves of the plant (brew 2 tablespoons of boiling water, leave for 1 hour). Take drinks warm, add ice to tea.

Primrose oil in capsules, at a dosage of 500 mg, is taken 3 times a day. Flax oil is added to food (salad or porridge) 1 teaspoon 2 times a day. The action is based on the production of prostaglandins.

Pineapple. Can be taken in the form of juice, smoothie, pure pulp. The allowed rate is up to 500 ml of juice per day or 500 g of pulp. The substance bromelain is similar in action to stimulating hormones.

Hot bath. Increases blood flow to the pelvic organs, stimulates the tone of the uterine muscles. The bath should be warm, water temperature up to 37.8. The indication is relevant only if there are no problems with blood pressure. Add 3-5 drops of lavender to the bath; this helps open the cervix and has an analgesic effect.

Physical activity

Exercises and other physical activity will not only help strengthen the muscles of the back and pelvis, but also stimulate blood flow in the uterus. There is no need to practice an excessive load, the lesson should not end with heavy breathing and shortness of breath.

1. gymnastics;
2. squatting;
3. bending forward;
4. walking;
5. going up and down stairs;
6. swimming in a warm pool;
7. fitball exercises;
8. Kegel exercises.

Fitball exercises. A fitball is a large, lightweight ball used to load muscles and stimulate labor. Sit on the ball, raise your straightened leg to a distance that does not cause discomfort. Hold in this position for 2 seconds. Repeat with the other leg. One approach 5-7 times in the evening is enough.

Gymnastic exercises:

1. lie on your side, tighten your gluteal muscles, straighten up, lean on your elbow. Lie for 10 minutes, alternately on each side;
2. raise the pelvis, place it on a pillow, at a distance of 15-20 cm above head level, lie for 10-15 minutes, several times a day;
3. walking in place with high knees, just enough to avoid discomfort;
4. squatting, keeping your back straight. Exercise time is 5-7 minutes, possible every 3 hours;
5. bend forward, 6-8 times, 2 repetitions, 3 times a day. Mopping floors and picking up objects, great analog action.

Walking, stairs. If the fetus is in the correct position, during the step it moves its head down and presses on the cervix. The production of oxytocin increases, muscles contract more intensely. Stairs act similarly to walking, but the physical load is greater, so you need to monitor your blood pressure.

Kegel exercises:

• squeezing and unclenching the perineal muscle, with a delay of 2-3 seconds. It is worth checking that the anal muscles are not involved;
• hold the muscles, step by step, imagining that you are climbing up the floors. Thus, you need to go through 5 floors and also, stopping, “go down” back;
• quickly contract and relax the muscle, repeat 15 times, in 3 sets.

All exercises are done during any current activity: cleaning, mopping or watching TV.

Bowel stimulation

The uterus is located in close proximity to the intestinal canal, so when muscles in one system contract, the stimulation is transferred to the other. If you cause excitement and a laxative effect, the uterine canal will also begin to contract rhythmically.

• castor oil;
• enema;
• laxative suppositories;
• liquorice.

Castor oil. The oil perfectly cleanses the intestines and provokes spasms. You need to take 2 teaspoons in the morning and at lunch.

Liquorice. Active intestinal peristalsis is caused by licorice (licorice) and suppresses luteotropic hormone. If used in large quantities, it causes diarrhea. Sold in capsules and dry root form.

Enema. If the taste of castor oil is not acceptable to the mother, a water enema is used. It is not a homemade pear that is used, but a large volume product, at least 1-1.5 liters.

Candles. Glycerin suppositories have an effective effect on the intestines and are used rectally. The medicine quickly dissolves inside and begins to irritate the intestinal walls, causing feces to be released. The urge from the drug is very intense, so you don’t need to move far from the toilet. Common products: Glycelax, Glycerin, Microlax (similar action).

Complications

Even if there are no pathologies, it is not recommended to count on an easy home birth; stimulation can be done independently, but the birth should only be in a medical facility. The consequences of starting labor at home can be dire. The risks boil down to the fact that, being far from the hospital, the obstetrician will not provide timely assistance.

For multiparous women, childbirth takes place in 2 hours; in some cities, during this time it is impossible to get to the maternity hospital even by ambulance. Therefore, stimulation is carried out only at a suitable period, if there are no complications, the fetus is positioned correctly in the womb and there have been no operations in the last 5 years.

Consequences:

1. allergic reactions;
2. premature pregnancy;
3. oxygen starvation;
4. birth injuries;
5. fatal for the baby.

The method of emptying the intestines is fraught with dehydration; if the baby is not ready to be born and labor does not begin, the condition will be painful for the mother. Blood pressure drops, weakness and drowsiness appear. If a woman uses medications without prescription, focusing only on the instructions for use, an overdose and death are possible.

Allergies to lavender, pineapple and other products are found everywhere. Therefore, before using the folk method in large quantities, you need to make sure there is no negative reaction. This threatens edema, hypertension and birth complications.

In order for the birth to go smoothly, there is no need to rush nature. If a mother wants to see her baby as soon as possible at 37 weeks and believes that she is already ready for childbirth, this is not a reason to stimulate the dilatation of the uterus. Only after examining the fetus and post-gestation for more than 40-41 weeks, artificial influence on the development of events is justified.

Each child has his own unique character: one is a fidget who cannot be stopped, and the other is a lazy “old man” who cannot be forced to move or tense up. These features of a child’s body are laid down long before birth, even in the womb. Expectation of a baby, according to obstetricians-gynecologists, lasts from 38 weeks to 42. After the fortieth week, doctors note a prolonged pregnancy. However, the baby is born when he is ready for it. As professionals joke: “Not a single woman in an interesting position has ever remained pregnant for the rest of her life.” Nature is wise, giving the baby time to prepare for the mystery of meeting the outside world.

Artificial stimulation of labor should only take place in a hospital setting and for medical reasons! It is prescribed if:

• the pregnancy period has “crossed” the waiting threshold of 42 weeks;
• the child, according to ultrasound examination, is large in size;
• multiple pregnancy in the womb;
• the expectant mother suffers from hypertension;
• the woman in labor has problems with the kidneys and thyroid gland;
• umbilical cord prolapse, weakening of labor or fetal hypoxia were detected.

The decision to perform stimulation is made only by the doctor, and the procedure is carried out only in his presence!

However, due to the whim of some mothers or due to life circumstances, they want to quickly bring the date of meeting the baby closer. Arguments for such acceleration may be:

• desire to give birth on a holiday or under a certain zodiac sign;
• the pregnancy period has mentally and physically exhausted the woman; she wants, regardless of the due date, to give birth quickly;
• Mommy has an interesting job, a good career, or everyday circumstances have developed such that an early birth is a way out of the situation.

Is it worth putting the baby’s health and life on the line to solve such problems? Stimulating labor with folk remedies is a very dangerous activity! Even harmless at first glance, useful medicinal herbs can have a very negative impact on the process of the timely appearance of your baby. Parsley and sage can cause premature contractions of the uterus and “pushing out” the baby from the mother’s bed. What if the doctor’s lack of professionalism allowed the deadline to be set incorrectly? Is it worth the risk?

In any case, if you decide to learn more about natural induction of labor, consult with an experienced health care professional.

You can ignore “grandmother’s” advice about washing floors by hand and jumping. When caring for your child, do not allow mechanical impact on your body and the child.

And now for the good stuff...

The only correct advice related to physical activity: after 40 weeks, stop lying on the couch often and protect yourself from the slightest movement. Walk, walk, go up and down the stairs, breathe fresh air - this will saturate you and your baby with oxygen, give you a lot of pleasant emotions, and may also have a slight stimulating effect on the birth process. Active walks, according to doctors, contribute to the child’s “correct” position in the prenatal uterus.

If the doctor has not categorically prohibited having sex, then this natural method of stimulating labor can be used. According to scientists, semen contains substances (prostaglandins) that have a softening effect on the cervix, helping it to “ripe” faster for painless and rapid dilation. However, try to do this without fanaticism: the position should be comfortable, sex should only be pleasant and not too “active”. Orgasm, the final act of love, will allow the body to release oxytocin - the “love hormone”, which is an excellent natural stimulator of the birth process. Its artificial analogue, synthesized by pharmacists, is used in maternity hospitals as a medicinal stimulation method.

This method of inducing labor can only be used if amniotic fluid is preserved. After they leak or pour out, the risk of infection of the woman’s genital organs increases. Under no circumstances should you use this method if you are diagnosed with placenta previa.

Sometimes doctors advise using soft, delicate stimulation of the nipples and areolas (the dark circles located near the nipple). We massage three times a day, 30 minutes on both breasts (15 on each). This action can serve as a “push” to start labor.

The next method, which is often used in a hospital setting, is an enema. Esmarch's mug is filled with water at room temperature (plus 20 or 25 degrees). Contraction of the intestinal walls causes the same contraction of the muscles of the uterus, which can have an effect on accelerating the birth process. At home, this method can cause a rapid process, which can negatively affect the outcome of childbirth.

The laxative substance castor oil has a similar effect. Midwives sometimes recommend taking (also in a hospital!) 100 ml of this product, mixed half and half with orange juice. Such an extreme method can cause a gag reflex due to the too unpleasant smell and taste of castor oil, and also contribute to severe intestinal upset and dehydration of the body. Although sometimes you can come across this advice: take 30 ml of castor oil before meals and wash it down with 200 ml of water with lemon. At home, both methods are too dangerous!

To increase tissue elasticity, you can successfully use the following advice: take 1 tablespoon of olive oil with meals (for example, in a salad) three times a day for a slight laxative effect and prepare the cervix and perineum for childbirth.

Another very good way to stimulate labor is to have a pleasant conversation with your unborn baby. A story about how mom and dad are looking forward to his (her) arrival can convince the baby to leave his warm and secluded place. Medicine has long proven that the child hears his parents’ voices and reacts to them even in the womb.

Traditional medicine in Russia and obstetric practice in the USA use a recognized method of inducing labor without using medications: they brew tea or prepare a decoction of raspberry (red) leaves. It tones the muscles of the uterus and pelvic organs. After 40 weeks, expectant mothers drink 400-600 ml per day of the prepared decoction, which softens the ligaments in the area of ​​the birth canal and significantly reduces the risk of ruptures.

Stimulation of labor with folk remedies can be carried out using homeopathy. Doctors in this industry claim that Pulsatilla and Caulophyllum help stimulate labor. Before using such drugs, be sure to consult an experienced homeopathic doctor. Only considering the harmlessness of these drugs can they stimulate contractions.

In the East, contractions are accelerated using acupuncture. In China, throughout pregnancy, expectant mothers can consult a specialist about early toxicosis, gestosis or headaches. The finest needles, acting on certain points that are known only to the master, can speed up the birth process, as well as normalize irregular or too weak contractions.

Stimulation of labor using folk remedies is possible only in consultation with the attending physician! Online forums and articles about this sacrament are only reference material, not instructions for action. A healthy and strong baby is a reward for your prudence.
