Papaya is also a rich source of fiber and vitamins which are needed by pregnant women during the final months leading up to childbirth.

 

Green Papaya is considered t be a rich source of papain enzyme, its leaves contain a compound known as “Latex”, which is a substance that acts as both as a Prostaglandin and Oxytocin which stimulates womb contractions and consequently labor, facilitate and speed up natural delivery, as it is considered the preferred way to give birth for both the mother and the child.

 

How can you obtain papaya for papaya enzymes in order to stimulate labor?

Papaya can be eaten either raw/ fresh or enjoyed in many recipes, or can be consumed in the form of capsules and chewable tablets (supplements) containing the papain enzyme. These supplements also contain beneficial supplements that help promote natural delivery and induce labor in pregnant women.

 

Fruits and herbs that help soften and open the cervix:

There are several fruits and herbs that are recommended for pregnant women to incorporate into their diet during the final month of pregnancy to facilitate and speed up childbirth, stimulate uterine contractions and promote labor, such as:

  • Pineapples: Pineapples contain bromelain enzyme, which is known to help soften and open up the cervix in pregnant women and hence stimulate labor and stimulate smooth muscles, while also strengthening them to start uterine contractions. This is why many pregnant women increase their consumption of pineapple in the weeks leading up to delivery.
  • Red raspberry leaves: red raspberry leaves are helpful for all women, especially pregnant women, which is why they are also known as the “woman’s tea” or “woman’s herb”. Red raspberry leaves contain “fragarine”, which is a substance that works on stimulating and increasing uterine muscle contractions, which aids in the process of natural delivery, shortens it and stabilizes it. Red raspberry leaves also help in reducing bleeding after delivery, and have a number of other benefits for both pregnant and non-pregnant women.

Pregnant women are seeking other effective methods besides nutrition that help relieve, facilitate and speed up the pain of childbirth, these techniques include:

  • Exercising and daily walks: helps strengthen and relax the uterine muscles, long walks help get the baby into the right position for delivery, which helps begin labor.
  • Using warm water: helps ease the process of delivery, as well as alleviate the pain that accompanies uterine contractions
  • Massages: massages help increase the hormone oxytocin, which helps stimulate uterine contractions and promote delivery.
  • Intercourse: during the final months of pregnancy, intercourse helps speed up the process of natural delivery, increase uterine contractions, as well as increase the secretion of oxytocin which is the hormone responsible for inducing labor
  • Nipple stimulation: the process of nipple stimulation is done by massaging the nipples in a circular motion to release oxytocin which promotes uterine contractions and stimulates labor
  • Acupuncture: one of the practices of alternative medicine, which helps induce labor and natural delivery, and ease the pain that accompanies delivery
