ways to jump start labor

My mom's sick and might have cancer so she's getting admitted to the hospital but I wanna have my son before all this happens to be there for her. Any suggestions or old tales to jump start labor?

Tired and it works! Rasberry leaf tea, it does the trick. My midwife recommended it with my first two pregnancies and it really does work. Sorry to hear about your mum really hope all goes well with your delivery. Good luck x

Nothing works unless labor is about to start to begin with.

I've been trying to jump start mine like crazy. 3 days and I'll hit my due date, my sisters say walk like crazy. Even if it hurts, then have sex on top of that. I've been doing these things for weeks and still nothing. Someone also told me spicy foods cause it irritates your bowels and then causes contractions so I'm trying that on top of it. I eat Takis with spicy salsa and hot sauce on everything. I'm contracting more but I have no idea if I'm dilating now, last week I wasn't. Try those and see how they do. Good luck.

Castor oil doesn't always work out.. it could just give you the runs... and sex can help speed up the process cause something in sperm helps thin ur cervix, but honestly it's really up to baby.... my doctor told me today there's really no way, were running in baby's agenda. I hope it works out for you.

Castor oil... I think thats how u spell it. Google it. My friend done it in both pregnancies and it works. Completely harmless and was actually used in the old days to start labor and even recommended by drs. They dont really do it anymore since drs have new medications for that. Ide say go for it.
