It’s advisable to speak to your doctor or midwife about inducing labor at home. Home-based alternatives are mostly not supported by science, and there’s a good chance you’ll be setting yourself up for disappointment. There are safe medical procedures to induce labor, and your doctor, who knows your health history and that of your baby, will be in the best position to guide you to make the best decision. Until you have confirmation from your doctor, consider home-based alternatives as unsafe.
