How do you prolong labor?

Answer 1

You can prolong labor especially when you want to carry full term. The way to do this is plenty of bed rest. I cant express how much bed rest you have to have. You cant go walking on a treadmill or walking for prolonged periods of time, this will onset the labor. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids, dehydration can also cause contractions which trigger the labor. Another thing is if you have to pee, then pee. Holding it in will cause contractions which again will cause the onset of labor. Top priority I would say is bed rest and not being stressed. Stress is a big one when trying to prolong labor. If something is aggravating you then you have to take it upon yourself to make sure you don't let yourself get stressed.
