Coping With Stalled Labours
Examine any fears or expectations that may be holding your labour back.
Deal with any interruptions to your labour eg. find a carer for your children, ask visitors to leave etc.
Try relaxation techniques. Remove people or yourself from situations that are hindering you.
Take 5 calcium lactate tablets to aid relaxation and normal labour.
If not adverse to alcohol consumption, take a glass of beer or wine and have some quality time with your husband or partner.
10 drops of Liferoot tincture can re-establish labour. Take doses at 30 minute intervals.
If you can obtain it, chew bethroot/birthroot. It immediately begins contractions again.
10-20 drops of blue cohosh in a glass of water, repeating hourly as needed also helps with stalled labours. This herb does not cause irregular contractions or cervix clamping down and is used by many midwives.
