Get labor started

in June 2012 Moms

I just talked to my doula who is also a certified midwife about various things I can take to encourage labor. Obviously, you should all ask your doctor/midwife/whoever before trying this, but I felt it would be remiss of me not to post it here. Also I apologize if someone else has already posted this. We all know about EPO and raspberry leaf tea, but I was just given this regimen to start today:

Saturday - Arnica

Monday - Caullophyllum

Wednesday - Cimifuga

Friday - Arnica  (Wash rinse repeat until baby comes - basically every other day take one. They shouldn't conflict with the tea or the EPO)

They come in these little tubes and she said either get 3 c or 6 c. I just took my first dose and I'll let you know if anything happens. Good luck!

    Those are homeopaths, right?  Is the Arnica, Arnica Montana?

    Yes to both questions. Have you heard anything about it?

    Not for labor.  I use homeopaths for other things.  But I did look it up after I read this and it said that arnica is a labor inducer.  I'm glad I haven't taken any throughout this pregnancy!

    The list of herbs that could be labor inducing was so long that once I got pg I gave up herbal tea completely just in case I forgot one.

    Natural food stores generally carry them.
