What are some home remedies to start labor?

Answer by  naturalmom (211)

Its really not a very good idea to try to start labor on your own. Your body knows when it's time to start. One method that is used in hospitals to induce labor is walking. I would say that is really the only method I would even remotely (and only with a doctor nearby) although there are others.

Taking long walks can help. I have also heard that massaging your nipples can help to get labor started. Many of my friends drink raspberry leaf tea to start contractions.

Doctors suggest walking, eating spicy foods and going on a ride in the car. Do not worry your baby will come when he or she is ready, I know this is an uncomfortable time but do not rush nature.

Common remedies to start labor consist of walking, having sex, and remaining active when possible. Although there are herbal remedies, these are not as safe as many may think that they are.

The biggest one is sex. They say the hormone released in the semen could help jump start labor another one along those lines is nipple stimulation, but from what I ready this needs to be done for several hours each day. Walking is another less risky natural remedy. Something about gravity and the baby.
