4 things you can do to help prepare you and your body for your impending labour and birth.
✔️ Drinking raspberry leaf tea multiple times a day has been shown to help strengthen the uterus & help improve labour outcomes.
✔️ Nipple stimulation has been shown to assist in uterine contractions and getting the body prepped by releasing oxytocin.
✔️Incorporating regular exercise ball movements helps relax my pelvis and pelvic floor muscles which will hopefully assist in getting bub into a great birthing position. Daily walks are also great they help to get the bubs head low in the pelvis.
✔️Squatting has been shown to help get bub into a good position & even promote dilation.
There is so much you can do in those final weeks when you are waiting for bub to come. And thankfully most of them are very fun activities 😉
Below are some more tips and tricks you can use that are great to help prep the body.
✔️Slowing down and practicing more meditation, gentle breath work, stillness & mindfulness. This will help with production of oxytocin as well as great preparation for labour.
✔️Deep diaphragmatic breathing is one of the best breaths you can utalise. It helps relax the pelvic floor which can allow for an easier passage for bub.
✔️Sex, it can help produce oxytocin. As well semen has a high level of prostaglandins in it which can help soften and “ripen” the cervix.
✔️Eating a hot curry (pretty sure this is an old wives tale, but people swear by it) I personally could never face this one as I had horrible heartburn.
✔️Acupressure and acupuncture
✔️Exercise, stair walking, curb walking, walking in general. Deep lunges all these are amazing at opening up the pelvis.
💡Lastly, for those mummas who are in these final stages waiting for your lil one to arrive. Please know that you can do all the tips and tricks “to bring on labour” but ultimately bub will come when they are ready. Don’t be hard on yourself about being overdue. Your body and baby are incredible and they know exactly what to do.
And please know that what works for one mumma may not work for the next. So hang in there always speak with your doctor, midwifes and healthcare providers before doing any of these techniques.
Mostly, enjoy those last few moments with your beautiful bump. You will be holding your baby soon.

In order to start labor, there has to be a chemical connection between the baby and the placenta. Im in week 38, been doing all those things since week 22. If the oxirocin receptors are not ready you could be jumping every day and still be pregnant. Plus, be careful with some teas during pregnancy.

Or just wait and let nature take care of itself 🤷‍♀️. I had 7 kids 4 of them natural birth and the most I did was walk. We need to stop complicating things if it is not necessary.

Drank the tea with my first pregnancy knowing full well that it didn't trigger labour, but it's been known to help shorten labour (anecdotal, not evidence based). What triggered my labour was the miles circuit. I did the circuit before bed, my water broke the next morning. Also, dates help to soften the cervix (some, but limited medical literature) which can shorten labour.

@angela3kds Ай бұрын

It took 2 membrane sweeps for my first at 42 weeks but had painful, ineffective fundal dominance and eventually stalled. With my 2nd, I had a single treatment of cervical acupressure from my midwife and the baby was born at home that night at 41 weeks. My third is due in 2 weeks and I’m hoping to go sooner.

I tried squats with my 1st at 40+4 and i cause a leak and because of the worry about infection, I had to be induced with the drip, my body wasn't ready and I had an emergency c sec 48 hours later for failure to progress. With my second I'm now 39+4 7th Dec, and booked for a catheter induction 18th December because of my previous c sec. I might have to have another c sec. Personally I believe if I had never done squats in the first place, my birth may have been different.

Pinching your nipples/nipple stimulation has been proven to not work. Baby will come when baby wants. Best thing you can do is curb walk or hike.

@ShadesofSage 9 ай бұрын

Nipple stimulation does indeed work because it can cause uterine contractions. That’s why moms who are breastfeeding while pregnant are often advised to stop breastfeeding if they are considered high risk, to prevent preterm labor. I know many moms who have induced successfully this way. Again, nothing really works unless baby is ready though ☺️!

@user-ju9pd3pi5h 3 ай бұрын

This is more likely due to the fact that you’d given birth a little over a year ago and it was not your first than to nipple stimulation. Babies won’t come until ready, everything else is just a theory. I’ve been doing nipple stim, sex and orgasms, ball bouncing, I worked out through my entire pregnancy as a powerlifter, started jogging, took castor oil, did acupuncture/acupressure and massages, tried esv to get him to turn from transverse, tried every fruit known to ripen the cervix and all the teas, have had prodromal labor every night for a week and half lasting up to 8 hours, lost my mucus plug and am 3.5 cm dilated 70% effaced for over 3 weeks, I’m still being induced to avoid going past my 42nd week lol. We even tried bringing over a baby while I was pumping for extra oxytocin.

@user-ju9pd3pi5h 3 ай бұрын

They advise against it more or less though because it’s a theory rather than a proven fact. If any of the sorts actually caused labor, OBs would do that in the hospital rather than try prostaglandin and pitocin. Nothing except hormones are actually proven to work, and sometimes you just don’t excrete enough on your own for it to work. Not every pregnancy was meant to make it to term from a biological standpoint so not every pregnancy is possible to be au naturál and requires intervention.

@@rachelgrace3771I had read a dietician doc's book, She had written according to her reasearch that these techniques work only when your body gets enough calcium and selenium, and does not suffer from iron deficiency anemia Calcium and selenium are what help in muscles, contractions, and bone and pelvic functions that is uterine exhaustion , placenta troubles efc. Are deficiencies of calcium and selenium. Also, anemia should be prevented Researchers have found that the oxytocin receptor requires magnesium to function properly, and magnesium increases the action of oxytocin at the receptor Vitamin C is a cofactor in the production of oxytocin, and the synthesis of oxytocin is dependent upon Vitamin C Research shows that oxytocin is directly activated and controlled by Vitamin D And note that these vjtamins only help in absorption of calcium , selenium, magnesium. Etc. Researchers also know that chamomile naturally increases oxytocin and lowers cortisol Exercise, not just as a drama for last 3 months, but your exercising lifestyle should be right from before gwtting pregnant, most sedentary women are deificient in enough hormonal balances. As simple as breathing exercises in yoga and walking in outsude sun or light jogging daily can keep estrogen healthy Also, study what foods and exercises make estrogen levels balanced as estrogen regulate oxytocin Vitamin B to cure anemia, as it can cause long labor too And practise daily mindfulness, meditation or laughter exercise for at least five mins,yoga and morning walks, write diary of 'Gratitude', where you write whom are you grateful to daily, do something that makes u euphoric eg. Listening to romantic song reading books or going on dates with ur husband or simply telling ur near one or fam member to massage ur belly daily while also singing songs, imaginary conversation with child in stomach etc. Throughout pregnancy. It has roots in psychology, 'When u are happy', ur oxytocin n dopamine is balanced, u are stressed amd sad , cortisol wipl go high hindering onset of contraction at right dates. Follow food and diet and exercises according to your individual situation eg. If you have diabetes during gestation u need to follow diff diets or exercise plan. Talk with ur healthcare specialist And yes lastly, if you follow all good nutritional plan and active lifestyle and calm mind right from start of pregnancy or at peast from second trimester , itbwill be more beneficial then rushing to try techniques at 8 or 9th months. Alao, even after doing so many things. Labor is not happening , you can try MILES CIRCUIT exercise by talking to ur gynac, if its not too late past due date
