I am Yoruba and live abroad. Not my first baby but want to do things differently, I have always had my water broken to start labour and it always end with CS due to being over 40 weeks.

So I need help from people with traditional experience using well tested herbal remedy. Not fetish medicine , HERBAL medicine ewe ati egbo.

PS; NO MEDICAL ADVICE PLEASE, THIS IS FOR TRADITIONAL REMEDY.

What could be the reason for wanting a herbal care?

Talk to a Doula over there of what your options are or could be.

Don’t gamble with your life tho.

Already doing that. Just want to tap into our root too. But its seems like it is fading away which is sad.

Forward ever.

Mother and child alive is what we pray for.

Some do the ewe and agbo in Nigeria here, they still loss their babies and undergo Cs to bring out the still babies, to save the mother's life.

Herbal is not backward. Ewe and egbo is not why people have loss their babies . Intervention is necessary when needed, I personally believe in balance. We seriously need both. If you hear ridiculous reasons why they offer CS you will be amazed. But I am putting that aside.

Just wanted people who are enlightened and experienced and bold with herbal remedies to share.

Op, most people that do purely traditional are in the village.
Most educated folks combine both traditional and modern just in case.
Let me tell you my story.
When I was pregnant, I had low PCV, one expensive drug was prescribed, I used it but it didn't work so I had to call Grandma.
She told me to get one leaf (ewe ogbon; I don't know the english name), wash it to get the juice and drink with peak milk first thing in the morning.
I did as instructed and it worked. The next time I went to check my PCV, it increased greatly.
I was still going to the hospital and taking normal modern medicine.
When it was time for baby to turn, he didn't turn. So I was told I will do CS.
I called grandma again and she sent some herbs through a driver. I took the herbs and baby turned.
Doctor asked me what I used, I just told him prayers worked.
2 months to delivery, grandma instructed me to start blending Ewedu leaf(I don't know the english name) and drink without cooking.
I was doing it consistently.
In my family, we have history of newborns having jaundice at birth so grandma told me to get unripe pawpaw, soak for some days and drink so i can pee everything out.
Thank God I had a smooth delivery and the baby never had jaundice.
What I am trying to say is that, you don't depend on only traditional method. You combine both. If modern doesn't work, use traditional.
That's what I did and thats what people I know did too.

Forgot to add, the purpose of drinking Ewedu leaf is to ease child birth. To make delivery easier.

Thank you so so much, God bless you. These are the types of stories I wanted women to share. As I mentioned in my post I Believe in balance. I believe strongly we need both traditional and medical for birth and many other ailments in this world. And sadly lack of it, is making people have unnecessary MAJOR surgery or spending their last kobo/borrow money for medical solutions.

Many women abroad are now pushing homebirths and discovering herbal medicines from other countries to help ease labour. Our doula's (birth assistants) are recommending herbal medicine from other part of the world for us to buy cos that is what they know.Me that I am from Africa (Nigeria) will still now source Herbal from Brazil or Mexico because they are the only ones available in the online market. I feel that is not right, hence why I came on here. Most people I called in naija are forming educated (oyinbo brainwashed) mentally for me.

Oyinbo Don show me pepper for hospital ....

Thank you once again.

Thank you, I will start this 2 months to delivery. A cup of ewedu blended daily should do right? Did you religiously drink it every day?

Please if you can help me ask grandma what someone can use to induce(bring on) labour after 40 weeks . I always go over up to 42 weeks which causes me to give in to medical intervention.

Grandma is no more.
I don't drink it everyday.
Once in a week is okay.

I understand you perfectly. The thing is that most people no longer do traditional. They are all forming woke.
It's sad that we have allowed the westerners to make us forget our roots.

May she continue to rest in perfect peace.
And thanks once again for the info.
