How to induce labor?

The opposite of premature birth before the end of the 37th gestational week is if the pregnancy lasts even after the 42nd week of pregnancy, it is a so-called transferring. However, the induction of labor can also have other causes, which must be assessed by a doctor. If it is a carrying pregnancy, it is important to monitor the condition, because after the 42nd week, the placenta stops fulfilling its functions that ensure the nutrition of the baby in the abdomen. Inducing labor in the 40th week of pregnancy is normal and even desirable in such a case. There are certain tips, tricks and recommendations that should contribute to the natural induction of labor.

Doctors, but also mothers, recommend for example a hot bath with a temperature of around 40 °C. You can add fragrant essential oils or herbs. Exercises and increased physical activity are recommended. For example, sitting and slow movements on the fitness ball, circling the hips. It is important to have your legs wide, so that the birth canal is easy. You can also try the "cat" position - you kneel on your knees, put your hands on the floor and slowly switch your pelvis, while you can add rocking forward and backward. Pregnant women are also recommended to massage the breasts, nipples, abdomen or perineum. By stimulating the nipples, oxytocin, the hormone that causes contractions, begins to be released.

Some mothers were helped by the recommendation of walking up the stairs or more substantial walks. An interesting method is sex to induce labor. Although sex - sexual intercourse with a partner is often the last thing on a woman's mind at the end of pregnancy, male sperm can cause contractions thanks to its components. Certain foods or lavender tea, containing cinnamon or raspberry leaves can also help. Some mothers recommend the consumption of castor oil.

A doctor can also lend a helping hand, with the help of Hamilton's touch. It is a medical method that can be performed after the first due date is passed. This procedure is decided exclusively by the doctor who performs the procedure. It is an intimate touch, which is related to a combination of touch, or due to adequate pressure on the upper abdominal wall and disruption of the membranes in the uterine wall. The doctor uses a finger to break the membrane of this bag through the vagina and thus induce contractions of the uterus - labor contractions. This method is slightly painful and relatively uncomfortable. However, it does not always have to work effectively. There are also birth-inducing pills, the therapy of which is again determined exclusively by the doctor.
