Talk to your midwife, obstetrician, or maternity care provider before trying anything to induce labour
Wait for medical approval if you have placenta previa, bleeding, reduced fetal movements, high blood pressure, diabetes, preeclampsia, or any pregnancy complications
Walk regularly if your care provider says it is safe
Change positions often and stay upright when possible
Use a birthing ball for gentle bouncing or pelvic rocking
Have sex only if your provider says it is safe and your waters have not broken
Try nipple stimulation only with medical guidance
Rest, hydrate, and eat small balanced meals
Use relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, warm baths, or meditation
Consider membrane sweeping only if offered by your care provider
Avoid castor oil
Avoid herbal remedies or supplements unless specifically approved by your care provider
Avoid unverified induction methods
Go to urgent care immediately if you have bleeding, decreased fetal movement, severe pain, fever, or your waters break
