Pregnancy Labor - Self Induce Labor

Your Doubts Cleared on Self induced Labor

What the Doctors Have To Say About Self Induced Labor

There are methods of inducing labor yourself. However, please remember that it is not safe to induce labor pain yourself, without first consulting your medical practitioner. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists also say that you should never, repeat never, induce labor yourself before 40 weeks of pregnancy are over.

You Should Do a Thorough Research before Settling On a Method to Self Induce Labor

Here are some methods, which have been used by women to induce labor in the past. You should do a thorough research about these methods before settling on any one of them. Read reliable information, including good books, magazines and surf the net.

The Use of Pineapple to Induce Labor

Pineapple contains bromelain that is a proteolytic enzyme. Pineapple actually helps in digestion of proteins in food. If however it is taken before meals, its medicinal properties begin to act on the stomach.

Bromelain found in fresh pineapples causes the connective tissues of the cervix to bring about natural labor. Bromelain is present only in fresh pineapple and not in canned pineapple, so you must use fresh pineapple.

Mango and Papaya Have Similar Properties

Mango and Papaya are two other fruits that can also be used during the labor stage to induce labor

The Use of Prostaglandin to Self-Induce Labor

Prostaglandin can be used to dilate the cervix. It should either be taken orally or applied on the cervix directly. Prostaglandin is present in evening primrose oil and you can take 500mg everyday. Be sure not to hurt the membranes in the vagina while applying it. Do not use this method to self induce labor, if you have been diagnosed with placenta privia. You may also have the capsule of primrose oil inserted into your vagina.

We wish you a safe and healthy pregnancy and lots of baby dust.
