Nipple stimulation can be used to induce labor. While the nipples are stimulated the body produces the hormone oxytocin which causes the uterus to contract. Place the nipple between your thumb and forefinger and "roll" it around for about 20 minutes several times a day. Or you can have someone to "suckle" the nipple much the way a baby would while nursing. Be advised not to try this without the advice and help of your midwife or physican.
