What are the things that induce labour?

Here are some natural ways to induce labour: Spicy food Eating spicy food may irritate the intestines and causes the uterus to contract. While there had been no studies to ascertain its effectiveness, it seemed to be a better option as compared to another common method, which is consuming castor oil. The latter is believed to have the same effect but may bring about nasty side effects such as nausea, a bad case of diarrhea and dehydration. Walking Walking is also another method that is relatively safe though, like eating spicy food, there is no guarantee of any results. It is believed that walking may help draw the baby down into the mother’s pelvis with the help of gravity and movements of the hips. The pressure of baby on the mother’s pelvis may then aid in inducing labour. Acupuncture Acupuncture is believed to be able to help stimulate uterine activity and nudge the baby into action. These are three methods which I felt are relatively harmless.

For induction purposes, eat a small bowl of red bean and barley soup made with Chinese rock sugar three times a day. In Chinese medicine, red beans are prized for their health benefits, specifically for improving blood supply and circulation — of benefit to pregnant women. And barley, especially the water in which barley has been cooked, is a natural diuretic that can help with fluid reduction — especially swelling in the legs, a common issue during pregnancy. clinical studies in China have shown that barley water is effective in helping to induce early labour. But as its anti-fluid retention effects are powerful, do not consume in large quantities without first obtaining medical advice.

I think most of the things are not scientifically proven - the only two I know that is based on science is the playing of breasts and nipples - as this mimics breastfeeding and causes uterine contractions and sex - as semen contains ingredients that are found in labour inducing medications!

I heard from my relatives that eating dates can induce labour. Apparently studies have shown that women who ate 6 dates a day for the 4 weeks leading up to their due date were significantly more dilated and had shorter labour processes.
