How to start quickly when the due date comes?

When a pregnant woman reaches her due date, she needs to be fully prepared for having a baby, such as adjusting her mentality and preparing the items needed during childbirth in advance. She also needs to have regular prenatal check-ups. Through a series of examinations, she can know whether normal conditions are met. If not, she needs to choose a cesarean section. If labor has not started by the due date, the following methods can be used to help it start quickly.

How to speed up labor after the due date?

1. Take a walk every morning and evening

Proper exercise is beneficial to the physical and mental health of pregnant women and fetuses. Especially in the late stages of pregnancy, some pregnant mothers may become very lazy as their stomachs become heavier and their weight increases. This won't work. Studies have shown that walking is the most suitable form of exercise for pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy. As the weather gradually gets warmer, pregnant women can go out for a walk more often. This can not only allow them to get sunlight and supplement calcium, but also relax the pelvic ligaments and encourage the fetus to enter the pelvis. Especially before the due date, moderate exercise is necessary. The expectant father should accompany and protect the baby and interact with the baby more, so that the baby can sense it.

2. Climb stairs appropriately

Climbing stairs is also one of the ways to stimulate the baby to move. When the due date is approaching, pregnant women can climb stairs appropriately, which can not only enhance their physical strength, but also exercise the muscles of the legs and buttocks, helping the fetus enter the pelvis quickly. But at the same time, you must pay attention to safety, hold on tightly when going up and down the stairs, stop and rest when you are tired, find a balance and avoid overwork.

3. Do squats at home

Squatting exercises are similar to the Maza exercise and are suitable for pregnant mothers to do at home. You can hold the chair with one hand and your stomach with the other hand, spread your legs apart and slowly squat down, then stand up. Repeat this action continuously, which will help stimulate the baby to move faster. If pregnant mothers feel it is unsafe to go out, they can practice this movement at home! But it also needs to be done appropriately, paying attention to personal safety.

4. Stimulate the nipples

Stimulating the nipples can promote uterine contraction to a certain extent. If the pregnant mother's due date arrives but the baby has not been born, stimulating the nipples and areola can induce the release of endogenous oxytocin, causing uterine contraction and speeding up the baby's birth. Pregnant mothers should use a warm, wet towel to gently stimulate the nipples and areola for one hour every morning, noon and evening. Do not use too much force to prevent rubbing the nipples. Alternate between each side for 15 minutes. When contractions occur, you can pause and stimulate again when the contractions disappear.

When the due date approaches, every pregnant mother will be both excited and nervous. She is looking forward to the arrival of the baby, but also nervous about the pain of childbirth. Especially when the baby is slow to move, the mother will surely become more and more anxious. In fact, the closer it gets to the end, the more the pregnant mother should relax. After a long ten months of suffering, it is finally time to welcome the little life. Mothers must relax. Being too nervous and anxious will not only affect the health of the fetus, but also inhibit the contraction of the uterus. Pregnant mothers just need to maintain a normal diet and exercise. If the due date is more than three days, it is best to go to the hospital to check the placenta and amniotic fluid. The hospital will use drugs to induce labor according to the situation.
