what is curb walking

Curb walking is a technique used to induce labor. It involves walking with one foot on the curb or sidewalk and the other on the road, creating an uneven gait that forces the person to shift their weight from side to side. Theoretically, the uneven walking pattern created by the curb causes the pelvis to open and allows the babys head to descend, which can help induce labor. Curb walking can encourage the baby to move farther down in the pelvis, which can help them better apply pressure to the cervix and stimulate contractions. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of curb walking in inducing labor, and it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before trying any labor induction techniques.
