Good morning doctors in the house, my wife's EDD was 11th april 2013, she's yet to put to bed as @ today 13th april, is there any natural way of inducing labour, she's really eager to see her baby so am I.

Thanx a bunch, been doing just that, I'l continue and thanx for ur contribution.

EDD is not absolute...sure your doctor must have told you that the baby may come 2weeks earlier or later than d EDD...i m sure she ll fall into labour soon..but if by the 18th (making 41 weeks) she hasn't fall into labour let her go to the hospital where she booked or if her next antenatal visit is before then..she may be admitted from d clinic for cervical ripening and induction of labour...relax mr! wish u guys safe delivery.

MAke love to her and ensure u release inside her.The prostaglandins in seminal fluid will help her go into spontaneous labour.Also fiddle with her breast_that will help uterus tt contract-Labour.Above all be calm n commit to God.

How far now? Can't wait to hear the good news

She's yet to deliver, she's been given till tomorrow mornin, once it happens, I'l post.

Thanx

And she has not felt any mild contractions at this stage? I'm afraid she may have to be induced. Wishin her a safe delivery

@call4shola, try out ni-pp-le stimulation, i heard and have read in a couple of places that it works,,,,,it's gently rubbing or rolling of the ni-pp-le manually with the fingers, or suckling of the ni-pp-les and areoles by the partner to encourage contractions and begin labor.

To stimulate the release of oxytocin, a hormone that causes contractions released in the body when the bre-a-sts are stimulated you must mimic the suckling of a baby. When a baby suckles, he does not grab just the ni-pp-le, but actually massages the areola (dark circle around the ni-pp-le).
The areola can be orally massaged by the mother's partner with his fingers or lips.
The mother may prefer to massage her own areola with her fingers. To do this she can rub the areola in a gentle rolling way with her palm or fingers.

NOTE:

•Only massage one br-ea-st at a time.
•Only massage a nip-p-le for 5 minutes, wait up to 15 minutes to see what happens before continuing with the massage.
•Do not stimulate the bre-ast during a contraction.
•Do not use ni-pp-le stimulation after the contractions are 3 minutes apart or 1 minute long.

You can also combine the effects ni-pp-le stimulation with the natural prostaglandin released in se-me-n by encouraging the mother and yourself to engage in intercourse.

All the best.
