Accepted Answer

Castor Oil: No harm, however I am not aware of any study that shows it helps.  Do not feel guilty, I have not talked to any woman at 38 weeks who does not want it to be OVER!
Best of luck, and remember you are near the end. I hope your delivery is smooth.

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

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

Question 8

could pineapple induce labor at 34 weeks?

Accepted Answer

No: Pineapple does not induce labor. Food Poisoning or Urinary tract infections can give you some contractions and may lead you into preterm labor.

Question 9

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 10

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.
