How To Induce Labor Naturally And Safe


You're pregnant! And you've been waiting for that special time when your precious baby is born. Does it seem to be taking a little longer than expected for that moment to come? Are you feeling anxious? If so, you may want to to know how to induce labor naturally.

Naturally inducing labor is known as the safe alternative to inducing labor medically. Inducing labor naturally does not cause any adverse side effects. Here are the top for ways to induce labor naturally are:

1. Sex

When having vaginal sex and experiencing an orgasm, a woman produces Oxytocin. This hormone strengthens contractions in the uterus, consequently inducing labor. Also, semen contains the hormone Prostaglandin. This hormone, after entering the vagina through ejaculation, ripens and softens the cervix.

2. Walking

When a woman walks, gravity asserts pressure on her cervix. This pressure can start contractions and cause the cervix to dilate, thus naturally inducing labor.

3. Acupressure

Acupressure can induce labor naturally by locating the pressure points on a woman's body that aid in producing contractions.

4. Nipple Stimulation

Nipple stimulation, like sex, naturally induces labor because the woman produces the hormone Oxytocin, which intensifies contractions of the uterus.

These methods of naturally inducing labor are widely practiced by women around the world. However, you should not try to induce labor if your estimated delivery date has not passed. Doing so can cause complications during delivery. These complications can range from needing a Cesarean delivery or having a very long labor. Attempting to induce your labor naturally when your body isn't ready probably won't be effective anyway because you cannot induce your labor unless the cervix has started to dilate already.

Now that you know how to induce labor naturally, consult your midwife, doctor or obstetrician before attempting to use any one of the methods listed above. Good luck with your delivery.

From what I've learned, the best method is Acupressure. There is a great eBook called Easier, Shorter and Safer Birth that can teach you all about Maternity Acupressure and how to induce labor naturally in a safe way without risking your baby's health.
