Nipple Stimulation.
So upon reading a bunch of stuff I stumbled upon nipple stimulation. This doesn't make sense to me. How does this even help with labor? It sounds so odd!
It seems irritating though. Nipples are probably already sore as is. I don't think this helps lol. Has anyone tried it?
Nipple stimulation to induce labor releases oxytocin which is a labor hormone. Oxytocin makes your uterus contract.
It helps bcuz it mimics breastfeeding. It causes ur body 2 produce oxytocin. This is linked to uterine contractions.
