Nipple Stimulation

Ok so I've herd that nipple stimulation can help bring on labor. Has anyone ever tried it and been successful and if so what exactly do you do lol. I know it's a weird question but I'd like to get things moving I'm almost 39 weeks

Tha doesn't work....neither does sperm. Contrary to what everyone on here will tell you. And if you have sex while your cervix is open, the sperm can cause an infection.  I layed these rumors to rest after I talked to my dr. Dont listen to anyone else but your dr.

In order for nipple stimulation to work it has to be done an hr at a time several times a day and thats why most dont bother. Also the bigger the breast the longer you have to stimulate since larger breasts nerves are spread out and not as sensitive as smaller breasts. Nothing works unless your body and baby are ready. You can find tons of proof of that.

Ive read that once in labor nipple stimulation helps with labor but to bring labor on. If i remember right sorry been a while since I read the book it helps with contractions and dilating I guess. I have heard ppl believe it did help them. Another thing to do weeks prior to labor and during is have your partner rub your perineum orcdo it yourself it helps refuce need for episiotomy and reduces natural tears. :-)

I've heard you use your fore finger and thumb and gently apply pressure to the nipple and roll it around for 15 minutes and then move on to the other breast and do that for 15 minutes keep going back and forward between breasts for an hour, if no contractions have started then either continue doing it for another hour or rest for half an hour and start again :) you can also use a breast pump if you have one

The sperm helps as well. I heard the stimulation helps. I was told use a pump 10 minutes on and off for a little while. But I dunno if it works, haven't tried it yet.

Orgasms contract the uterus. So. .. maybe sex or masturbation? Lol idk about the nipple stimulation. Also bouncing on a ball... walking, stairs, etc.
