The fact that you are dialated does not really mean that you will deliver soon… My friend was dialated 2 cm and she didn’t deliver for another 4 weeks! Anyway, the traditional methods of trying to induce labor include, eating FRESH pinapple (not the canned kind), walking a lot, and having sex… Some people will say use Castor Oil, but that can make you really sick and can be bad for the baby.
You can also talk to your doctor about not wanting to be induced. Request that he/she try stripping your membranes. This works for a lot of women. It worked for me… I went into labor the same day my midwife tried it! If you don’t want to be induced and they agree to strip your membranes also request they do a non stress test to make sure the baby is fine so that they know there is no reason to induce.
Walking, sex, and sitting on a large inflated ball and bouncing gently.
Have sex, or masturbate to an orgasm, many times during the day. That is about as natural as I can think of.
some people say sex works you could try that lol
you do know if you don’t want them to induce you don’t have to, you are in charge of your pregnancy, they can not just decide for you.
tell your doctor your not comfortable with being induced and be prepared to go a lil over you due date.
do squats, walk, have sex, do pregnancy yoga to help you relax and encourage your cervix to open.
edit,
i don’t encourage allowing them to induce you if your trying to do natural, the drug pitocin that they give you to speed your body along causes contractions to be more painful and it is hard for alot of women to get through a natural labor with that drug in their system.
and just so you know, Pitocin is a drug we gave to sows on our pig farm to induce their labor before they ever started using it on humans…
good luck
walking! sex! having your man cum in you! eating pineapples and nipple stimulation, good luck
nipple stimulation…..have sex like everyone else said…but make sure the the guy comes inside you…..it’s the semen that helps ripen and soften the cervix to move things along…..so he can really help and have fun doing it!
When I was ready the 1st time I took a long drive, it was about a 2 1/2 hours going, and coming back. Next day hospital.
The second time, my water brke, and they had me walking for 8 hours. That was not fun. I would take the car ride.
walking and having lots of sex!
I had my first son 2 weeks early and my second son right on the due date and that’s what i did.
walking, sex, nipple stimulation
