Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Hi guys! I know a woman who has gone one week past her due date, and she would like to give birth SOON! Do any of you know which herbs I can give her for this, and how to prepare them? Also, do you know which herbs to use to ease the labor/birth? I'm not at home at the moment, so I can't look anything up in my books! Thanks in advance, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Personally, I would let it go full term. There are some herbs that will in fact induce labor, but I believe that it is best to let nature take her course unless there is a problem with the pregnancy. They say that 2 weeks after the due date is normal. A due date is just a guesstimate. The baby will come when he is ready, lol. Take care and keep us updated!!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Hi Kim! The reason she wants to give birth now is that she is visiting here in Copenhagen from further away in Denmark, and she wants to deliver her baby in Sweden, which is ½ an hours drive from here. It's not as complex as it sounds, LOL! But she is only here for a limited time.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Normally you don't want to play with this, but you can safely use Castor Oil (1 tablespoon) and if it turns it on, it's time. If it doesn't, it wasn't. ;o) Love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington - Chris Bartenbach <optimist.chris herbal remedies Sunday, December 29, 2002 10:30 AM [herbal remedies] Herbs to induce labor?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Hi Chris Get her some red raspberry leaf tea and have her drink strong infusions, 1 cup everyday and 2 cups when labor begins. Also, have her partner massage her nipples (I know gettin darn personal here LOL!) Make sure her midwife or hospital is nearby though, cause she could go very fast.
