coffee potty?

I couldn't sleep as usual so I decided to surf the net in hopes of boring myself to sleep instead I found a "wth" natural way to induce labor. It's called coffee potty... I have never heard of this and it is an extremely bizarre way to try to induce labor. Definitely not something I would ever try. Here's an excerpt of what read....

Steaming coffee grounds is another of the more unorthodox ideas out there. You place a plastic bowl in the toilet, put some ground coffee into it, pour hot water on top and, according to one commentator on an internet forum, “squat over the bowl and steam your hoo-ha for about 20 minutes.” Could there be anything in it? “Caffeine’s a stimulant, but it’s usually taken orally,” says Hannah. “I can’t imagine it’d have any impact externally. It may be that the warmth of the steam is relaxing for the woman. This method probably doesn’t work, but it won’t hurt as long as you’re careful not to get scalded by the steam!”

Am I the only one who thinks this is just a bit overboard? Has anyone else heard of this? Tried it?

Sorry this sounds absolutely ridiculous. Lol but I guess some people will try anything. The name too... /:)

I know right. Funny because women are seriously trying this I seen someone mention on what to expect

That's dumb.

I sometimes wonder if people write these things just to see if anyone is ridiculous enough to try them.

Do it and let us know how it turns out. Just don't squat too close to it or get it too hot because a steam burn on your vagina sounds pretty unpleasant.

What in the WORLD?!?! Just because coffee is a stimulant that doesn't mean it can stimulate labor...

I cant even make coffee for myself let alone my hoo-ha..... But should baby be stubborn... I just may try!

When I first saw this title I thought it was going to be about inducing labor through coffee enemas. So I'm oddly happy about what this turned out to be about

I definitely don't think I'd be one to try this.... I don't even see how it could logically work.

Putting a bowl in the toilet is already gross enough to me.
