Hi,
Does anyone know or has tried the nipple stimulation to induce labour? How effective is it?
Do you think it is more effective than sex?
I've read about it on few websites and some say it is quite dangerous if not done by a health care professional...others explain more, but there is not a consistant information about how exactly to do it...
For the past 2 nights me and my husband are doing the along with nipple stimulation (I explained him to imagine he is a breastfed baby and to cover the areola as well when doing it). I didn't have ANY success, no contractions, no BH. I am thinking maybe the pressure is not enough or the time in not long enough (1-2 mins at the time, pause 1-2 min, repeat)- sorry if TMI...
Please let me know what are we doing wrong or if we should do something else...
