Question 1

what home remedy can induce labor at 41 weeks with being 3 cm and 50% infaced? if any...

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately none: Your best bet is to keep active and take walks.  Talk to you obstetrician and if you are seeing a midwife, you might want to consult with an obstetrician now.  Your obstetrician can induce labor medically if desired.  The risk of fetal harm increases a lot after 42 weeks.

Question 2

can you tell me how i could induce labor at home?

Accepted Answer

Let your Body decide: Your Body and your baby knows best when to make an entry into our beautiful world. Only if you have some medical conditions or are more then 41 weeks we consider doing an induction of labor.

Question 3

what are some safe ways to induce labor at home ?

Accepted Answer

Labor: If you could bring on labor then the secrete would be out there and women would love it.  Always remember the baby is part of the equation and sends a signal to the mom when it is time to come out.  Part of the increase in Cesarean section rate is from inductions when it is not time.

Question 4

Question 5

i am pass due and i wanted to no what induce labor from home cause i don't want a c section ?

Accepted Answer

Labor: I would consult with your OB about this. Babies come on their own schedule. Best of luck to you!

Question 6

how can i naturally induce labor?

Accepted Answer

Wait until 39 weeks: After 39 weeks, you can encourage contractions in a uterus that is ready with sex (semen has natural hormones that gently stimulate labor) or gentle nipple stimulation. If the uterus is ready, it might work. If it doesn't work, it's probably not ready for labor. Your doctor can sweep membranes. The baby is developing it's brain and lungs and other organs right up to 40 weeks, so don't rush nature!

Question 7

what are some ways to induce labor?

Accepted Answer

Several: You can use prostaglandins like cervidil.  You can use pitocin (oxytocin).  You can use extra-amniotic saline infusion.

Question 8

does kayro syrup help induce labor?

Accepted Answer

No evidence: Karo corn syrup has never been studied as an agent to induce labor and likely never will. I would not recommend attempting labor induction at home without consultation with your provider. Karo syrup will likely just cause elevated blood sugars and i would avoid it, in pregnancy...And in life, really.

Question 9

what does it mean to "induce" labor?

Accepted Answer

Cause labor to start: Medications are administered to the mother orally, intravenously, or vaginally that cause hormone changes in the uterus.  These medications enable to the uterus to start contracting causing the cervix to open and labor to start.

Question 10

are there natural ways to induce labor?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Nipple stimulation is one way.  It can cause powerful contractions so it is not something you should do without talking to your doctor.
