My gosh never heard of this but it does sound strange.

I dunno why mums just don’t sit and wait and let nature take its course

I’ll never understand why some mums want to speed up labour, baby will come when baby is ready. Surprised to see it on MoMs actually, while you say you don’t endorse it, just putting it out there for mums to try is dangerous

First time I have heard of this, never used it personally.

stupidity and boiling water, not a great mix. Passing a baby through a burnt vagina, real clever

What a dangerous phenomenon! Especially when heavily pregnant and it’s hard to see past your bump and dealing with scalding hot water. If you’re that desperate to start labour probably best to speak to a medical professional about induction

Sounds like a great way to burn your vagina! Do people not realise your lady bits are sensitive and steam is hit?

one of mine just started natural and the other child I was admitted to hospital and induced chemically – I wouldn’t try this method at all, I think it would put me off coffee for life! and with two busy kids I need my coffee!

  LOL! I hear you – coffee is for drinking!

Wow this is new to me but it’s to know about this method

I’ve never heard about this method before.
I was given oxytocin to induce labour.

I wonder if there are women our there who actually really use this method ? I can imagine the risk of scalding. Not a wise practice to induce labor.

I did not try anything to induce labour and could not stand the smell of coffee when pregnant!
