nipple stimulation

[chrissymccann23]

I am currently 38 weeks and at my doctor appointment she said that at 39 weeks i can try to naturally induce labor using nipple.stimulation. This is my 3rd baby and i am in so much pain and so uncomfortable that i am counting the days. So my question is who has used this technique and had it work.and how did you go about it? How long did it take? Was it a good or bad experience? If anything else worked for you what was it? Thank you allin advance!

Nipple stimulation worked for me. I did 15 minutes on each nipple the night before I went into labor.

I'm 38weeks been told that nipple stimulation helps 4mins on each nipple or try using a breast pump bc its supposed to cause contraction I've tried the breast pump, pineapple, raspberry leaf tea, sex, evening primrose oil tablet, hot bath and nothing happening yet :( think they will just come when they are ready x

I haven't tried nipple stimulation, but I did try the pineapple juice. I ate pineapples with the natural juice from 36 weeks had my baby boy at 39+1 weeks
