Try to Relax
Sometimes relaxation is all you need. As much as exercise can help, it is very important that you learn to relax. If you took a childbirth class, you’ve likely learned at least one method of relaxation and may already know which works best for you.
You can also try getting comfortable and visualizing your labor beginning. This will help reduce tension, even if you find it doesn’t do much to start contractions.
Eat Something Spicy
Hot peppers and spicy meals are foods said to help induce labor. This is because some spicy foods can trigger the release of prostaglandins as you digest them.
It’s not just spicy foods that some pregnant people swear by to start labor. Everything from pineapple to licorice to Chinese food has been credited with getting the ball rolling.
But remember, unless you’re used to eating these foods, it’s probably not the best idea to introduce something new into your diet just to try starting labor. You can discuss with your doctor on which food to add to your diet.
