I only have 30c not 200 of the caulophyllum and 6x pulsatilla would I just take the amount recommended on the bottle in the same way?

Ps I am 39 weeks, taking epo and raspberry leaf tea. I am just trying to help my body prepare, not force anything. I will do acupuncture and chiropractic if I go over 40. Until then just trying to help. I went to 42 weeks with my first and ended up with a medical induction. I want to avoid that this time.


Answers:

Caulophyllum 200 X is best used in the last few days before labour and during the event itself to strengthen weak contractions and speed up the opening of the cervix. 3 days - 3 doses then one does twice weekly.

Caulophyllum produces mild contractions; use in the last weeks.

Pulsatilla 200X: 3 days - 3 doses then one does twice weekly.

You may also take Evening Primrose Oil and Red Raspberry Leaf Tea

Neither will actually induce labor. While some lay midwives will argue that statement about the Evening Primrose, which is the reason it is not recommended until 36 weeks or "full term", almost all sources with experience agree that it does nothing that the body was not ready to do on its own.

Red raspberry leaf tea is a uterine tonic used by Native Americans for thousands of years. It tones your uterus by helping to "focus" your Braxton Hicks contractions. Think of its job as helping your uterus do more effective exercising while you are pregnant. It does not "cause" contractions and can be safely used throughout pregnancy. It is contraindicated for those having complications "just in case",

It helps to tone the uterus after delivery as well, shrinking it back to size more quickly and reducing bleeding.

Arnica 200X: whilst it will not induce labor; itwill definitely help in controlling the bleeding and will alleviate labor pains. Dosage: 3 days - 3 doses then one does twice weekly.

Nipple Stimulation to Self-induce

This is a practice often recommended by midwives when a woman is long past due or when labor is stalled. Nipple stimulation causes the release of oxytocin, the same hormone that causes uterine contractions. Many women report, however, that the contractions produced from this method are much stronger and more painful than natural labor, but are not any more effective. Please note: In order to use this method for induction, you must stimulate the nipples for long periods of time. The usual recommendation is 15 minutes of continual stimulation on each nipple each hour for several hours. So, the amount of stimulation you may experience during intimacy, while nursing an older child, or while pumping your breasts while pregnant will not cause you to go into labor. The general recommendation on these activities is to abstain from them when your condition warrants doctor recommended pelvic rest. Please check with your practitioner before trying this.
