| 27-5-2008 - A list of things to try! | My mood while writing this blog:ok |
Strategies have emerged that are aimed to stimulate labour, with varying degrees of success. Here are some of the commonly recommended strategies:
Sweeping membranes – during a vaginal examination the midwife or doctor gently separate the membranes from the opening of the uterus. ( This is tomorrow!) | |
Sexual activity – A woman’s orgasm causes oxytocin to be released, as does nipple stimulation. Oxytocin is the hormone that causes the uterus to contract. Semen also contains prostaglandins, which can help soften the cervix.(tried this hasnt worked yet!) | |
Acupuncture or acupressure – consult a qualified practitioner( Dont think i will get round to this one!) | |
Homeopathic remedies – consult a qualified practitioner | |
Herbal preparations – consult a qualified practitioner | |
Walking ( tried this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) | |
Good hot bowl of curry( does korma and tikka count hehe!) |
Avoid using castor oil. Castor oil can cause cramps, nausea, vomiting and spasmodic contractions of the uterus. Basically it is down right unpleasant. ( dont fancy this either!)
