How to accelerate childbirth?

This question, exciting for many future mothers, was asked to myself two times in my life and myself. The first time he was particularly acute, because it was already 43 weeks pregnant, and I did not observe any signs of approaching births. In that case, there were exercises to accelerate childbirth. My second child was born by the end of 41 weeks of pregnancy. Not without accelerating childbirth, of course.

Why do not they start?

Let's find out why some women spend weeks in a tiring wait for the long-awaited meeting with their baby, while the pregnancy of many others involves the threat or fears of giving birth sooner.

Very often the whole point is in the wrong definition of the preliminary date of delivery. An error can occur for a number of reasons:

1. Ovulation in a woman with a cycle of 35 days will occur on a later day of the cycle, rather than a woman with a cycle duration of 24 days. In many cases, "women" who have a long cycle "retool" their children.
2. A fertilized egg needs some time to get to the uterus and attach to its wall. Sometimes it takes 5-9 days.
3. Determining the date of birth by moving is a very unreliable method. It really was the movements of the baby or did we just really want to feel them? It is sometimes difficult to sort out.
4. The preliminary date of delivery for the first ultrasound is more reliable. However, do not forget that it calculates its car by averaged indicators, and your child can simply be larger than their "peers."
5. Obstetrical delivery date often does not coincide with embryonic, and even more often - with own calculations of women who know the date of conception.
6. Do not throw away the fact that the doctor from the women's consultation that leads your pregnancy will sleep quieter, knowing that you are in the hospital under the supervision of medical personnel. Accordingly, having given you the date of childbirth earlier, he and the burden of responsibility for this pregnancy will dump from himself faster. But the birth of this prematurely does not come.

The tendency to long-term bearing can be inherited by you genetically. Perhaps your female relatives also gave birth on week 41-42, and your time just has not come yet.

How can I accelerate childbirth?

If you are sure that the term has come, from thoughts, how to speed up the date of birth, lost peace and endure no more strength, you can try one, several or all of the ways listed below. It will not be about magic tablets to speed birth, but about reliable and proven by me personally "grandmother" methods.

1. Firstly, I note that sex can be simply indispensable for accelerating childbirth. In male sperm are prostaglandins - physiologically active substances that penetrate the woman's blood through the vaginal mucosa, and can contribute to the acceleration of childbirth. During sex, the blood in the pelvic region begins to circulate more actively, which is also useful.
2. Secondly, you can increase your daily exercise - cleaning the apartment, washing floors and windows, walking in the fresh air, charging. However, I recommend the approach to this issue without fanaticism, so as not to get injured or overtired, because the very process of delivery will also require physical effort from you.
3. The third method I would call stimulation of the nipples, because it reflexively causes uterine contractions. I recommend doing this while taking a shower, directing the stream in the measure of hot water to the waist area.
4. Personally, I give the palm to method number four - castor oil to speed birth. Castor oil is harmless to the mother and child, an inexpensive laxative of plant origin. Castor oil is almost colorless and has no taste. Some people do not like its smell, but this oil allows you to accelerate birth almost always. Two tablespoons is enough. The intestine begins to contract in about 1-2 hours, affects the nearby uterus, which begins to contract in response. If it's not time yet, nothing will happen. Many obtained from the second time a few days after the first attempt.

How to help yourself in the process?

Now that we have found out how to accelerate the onset of labor, it is not superfluous to note how to speed up the process of delivery. It is very important to remain calm, staying in harmony with your own body and child, to perceive childbirth as a natural process and not to panic. If you are tense, then the cervix of the uterus is strained, which prevents its opening. Walking in the ward, rotational movements of the pelvis, breathing exercises, even if they do not accelerate the birth, then distract you in any case. And if you contact the medical staff with the question: "How can you accelerate childbirth?" - You may be offered to use a gel to speed delivery, with the content of prostaglandins, but it is prescribed only according to the doctor's order.

So everything is in your hands. Optimism to you and, of course, easy delivery.
