If you are pondering “when will I go into labor?” you are most probably very near to your estimated due date. Especially, if you have passed you EDD and are nearing you 40th pregnancy week, you might not only wonder “when will I go into labor” but be saying “I want to go into labor!”. Perhaps you can take comfort in the fact that heavily pregnant women all over the world are wondering when they too will go into labor.
What the Numbers of Dilation and Effacement Really Tell You?
The numbers of dilation and effacement will give an idea how near your labor would be. Additionally, hearing how well you are dilated and effaced gives you a sense of progress with your nearing labor. It’s good to note, however, that if you are NOT dilated, or effaced, rest assured that you will eventually give birth to your baby! Some pregnant women dilate to 4 cm and are 100% effaced for a full month before they go into labor. On the other hand some expectant women, whose cervix is not dilated at all, can go into full labor and give birth within hours. Each of our bodies are build a little bit differently. Therefore our bodies function a little bit differently in pregnancy, labor and delivery, although the end result is the same – giving birth to a baby.
There is no magic hour or day that coincides with dilation, effacement, and labor. Some pregnant women dilate quite silently without feeling contractions. Other expectant mothers have constant Braxton Hicks contractions for weeks before their labor starts. This is why internal examinations are helpful in determining how much your cervix has dilated and how far you have effaced. However, the internal examination only gives you an idea of what is the situation on the moment of the examination. Unfortunately, it won’t tell you exactly when you will be in labor.
When You Need to Go to the Hospital?
It’s good to notice that although you are well dilated, you won’t be automatically admitted to the hospital if you are not having contractions. There are some hospitals that won’t let you leave if you have dilated to at a certain number, on the other hand there are hospitals that will send home although you were dilated up to even 7 cm but are you are not having frequent labor contractions. Many hospitals feel quite comfortable sending a woman home who is not contracting and is 4 to 5 cm dilated. The reason for this is that you can be dilated quite a bit, and still not go into labor very soon.
And the Answer to Your Question “When Will I Go Into Labor?” Is …
So if you are dilated, and want to know when you will go into labor, there is simply no guessing. If you are NOT dilated, there is no guessing. Neither clearly indicates going early, or going late. Most pregnancy care professionals love to help you out with your labor and delivery questions. The truth is that no one can’t give a precise answer to your question “when will I go into labor?”

By the time your pregnancy is full term, you might consider natural ways to induce labor. Waiting for your labor and delivery to start can make you feel anxious. However, once you are “past due”, not only the wait can make you anxious, but also you OB-GYN, if he or she starts to talk about inducing labor at the hospital.
If you are past due and want to avoid medical labor induction, you probably are eager to try any of the natural ways to start labor. Yet, no matter how impatient or desperate you may be, it is important not to just rush out and try anything. Sometimes, well meaning people may give false advice and you might end up trying something that is potentially harmful when all you wanted was to bring on labor naturally. A great example of this is natural herbs, either in tablet or a tincture form. Many people suggest taking herbs to help promote natural labor, however without knowing the risks or the exact amount to take. Taking herbs in an attempt to induce labor but without good knowledge of what you are doing may cause more harm than good.
Therefore, when it comes to inducing labor naturally or choose pharmaceuticals, such as Pitocin it’s your advantage to educate your self. There are some rare pre-existing medical conditions that could require medical induction in a hospital under a strict control. It’s, however, important to carefully consider the potential risks, as compared to the benefits, that phramaceutical labor induction may have to the mother or the baby. There are many natural ways to induce labor and they could help you to avoid the medical labor induction.
First, you should understand that many natural ways to induce labor are powerful, when used appropriately. Therefore, they should never be used before you have passed your estimated delivery date, and should not be attempted without the approval from your midwife or obstetrician. Secondly, some natural labor inducing remedies may not be as safe as commonly thought. In fact, just because a medicine or remedy is “all natural” doesn’t mean that it is without harm, risk, or side effects.
Natural doesn’t simply always mean safe. However, some methods, such as maternity acupressure, have actually been proven to be safe by modern science and have no side effects.
When you are past 40 weeks pregnant and might need to induce labor, some natural methods have far less risks when compared to drugs like Pitocin. Safe natural labor inducing methods include maternity acupressure, walking (when are in condition that you can walk), sexual intercourse (when your membranes have not ruptured), and gentle breast stimulation. These methods help to start labor through different mechanisms.
Maternity acupressure might be the most studied method regarding how effective and safe it is. A great number of pregnancy care professionals use acupressure for pregnancy and labor because of its benefits and also because it has been proven to be safe for the mother and the baby.
Maternity acupressure has helped great numbers of other pregnant women wanting to wanting to avoid medical labor induction to naturally induce labor.

The time period after your baby has arrived is, again, a very special one. Anne Williams of the Urbanbaby & Toddler magazine told a different kind of a story about “the month after” …
‘Doing the month’: Ancient tradition meets modern motherhood
When Urbanbaby & Toddler publisher Emma Lee asked me to write about birth traditions, I expected the end result would be an amusing article about long-forgotten rituals of motherhood. Certainly none of these rituals would be relevant today. Then I received another email from Emma. “I just spent a month in confinement,” she said. “It would be great if you could talk to other mothers about it.”
Confinement? What is that? It sounded primitive, if not downright barbaric.
It turns out that the ancient practice of confinement, or ‘doing the month’, is alive and well on the Lower Mainland – and despite its primitive-sounding name, is not nearly as barbaric as one might think. Where did confinement come from, and how do mothers safely honour a tradition whose basis was formed long before modern medicine?
Zuo Yuezi
The Chinese tradition of Zuo Yuezi (Cho Yuet in Cantonese) dictates that for 40 days from the birth of their children, mothers must stay inside and avoid bathing, washing their hair or brushing their teeth. They must cover their heads to prevent chills, keep the windows closed, and remain in bed for as long as possible.
Zuo Yuezi – which loosely translates into doing the month – also requires mothers to avoid all forms of stress, including crying, shouting and talking for an entire cycle of the moon. While ‘doing the month,’ mothers can’t eat ‘cold’ foods such as cool drinks, ice cream, fruits or vegetables. Instead, they must load up on ‘hot’ foods like boiled eggs and chicken and fish soup. Along with the tradition is a famous Chinese postpartum ‘decoction’ known as Shenghua Tang – an herbal cleansing and purifying remedy.
Origins in Chinese Medicine
Medical writings about Zuo Yuezi can be traced to the Qing Dynasty (1644 – 1911). According to Yi-Li Wu, associate professor of history at Albion College in Michigan, early Chinese medical writings described conditions such as eclampsia, maternal tetanus and other postpartum diseases that are still deadly today if left untreated. Essentially, ‘doing the month’ was a primitive form of quarantine to prevent postpartum complications.
If you analyze Zuo Yuezi in an early medical context, many of the practices made sense. The avoidance of bathing and teeth-brushing was a way to prevent water-borne illness; staying indoors helped women and babies avoid exposure to communicable diseases, and covering the head protected new mothers from catching a ‘chill.’
Food-wise, the proteins and iron found in eggs, meat and fish provided mothers with strength and muscle repair. Rest and heavy consumption of hot soup helped prevent dehydration, kept moms warm and was believed to promote the production of breast milk. Most importantly, the legendary herbal decoction of Shenghua Tang was thought to purify the female body and help slow vaginal bleeding.
The Power of Superstition
‘Doing the month’ wasn’t only a product of Chinese medicine. Without scientific explanations for the phenomena of the times, many ancient cultures developed devout beliefs in the supernatural.
For example, some of the fear of leaving home in the first month after birth had to do with evil spirits seeking to steal babies. More common was the belief that spirits and pregnant women were out to steal breast milk. Out of these superstitions came the avoidance of expectant mothers and strangers during Zuo Yuezi.
Baby snatchers were the reason that the Chinese did not give first-born children their official names until ‘doing the month’ was over. Instead, a newborn was given a little name or nickname to trick the evil spirits. Many parents continued to use the nickname throughout their children’s lives.
Zuo Yuezi Today
Whether or not you believe in Chinese medicine or superstitions surrounding ‘doing the month,’ there is no doubt that belief plays a significant role in one’s feeling of health and well-being.
That’s why maternity hospitals such as BC Women’s Hospital in Vancouver try to accommodate different cultural beliefs. Pam O’Sullivan is the director of BC Women’s Birthing Program. “We are accustomed to serving a population that is of approximately 30 percent non-Caucasian origin. We try to listen to everyone’s requests and accommodate them as best we can, as long as there are no safety issues.” O’Sullivan offers a few examples. “We have a policy of keeping moms and babies together as much as possible, regardless of culture. As well, we will push beds to the far end of the rooms to accommodate extended families, and supply boiled water to Asian mothers who like to drink it to avoid stress. Although hygiene is very important, we will allow sponge bathing for women who traditionally avoid bathing and showering around births.”

Dear Lena, Your booklet is quite comprehensive, even from the point of view of a former LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), such as myself. I especially thought the section on breast feeding especially helpful. Thanks for all this information that I can share with my clients.
Sincerely,

The book was very informative since most of the prenatal classes focus on labor and what to do with the baby once they are here that they forget about what mothers will experience after labor. ~Maria Duvall
