Inducing labor at home is the process of initiating uterine contractions before they occur naturally. It is typically done in cases where the pregnancy has gone past its due date or when there are medical reasons to deliver the baby sooner.
There are a variety of methods that can be used to induce labor at home, including natural methods such as nipple stimulation, walking, and eating spicy foods, as well as medical methods such as taking medications or using a cervical ripening agent.
