Inhale. Exhale. You’ve conceived a beautiful baby. Now, you’re waiting for the day when he’s finally born. Is that moment taking a while to come? If so, and it’s past your estimated delivery date, you may consider learning how to induce labor naturally.
Inducing labor naturally can be a healthy alternative to inducing labor medically since it does not cause unwanted side effects.
The most popular four ways that women induce labor naturally are:
1. Sex
When she has vaginal sex and has an orgasm, a woman she produces Oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone that strengthens contractions of the uterus and stimulates labor. Plus, semen contains a hormone called Prostaglandin. When inside the vagina, semen induces labor naturally by softening the cervix, causing it to ripen.
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. Acupuncture
Acupuncture can naturally induce labor because it locates the pressure points on a woman’s body that cause it to produce contractions.
4. Nipple Stimulation
Similar to sex, nipple stimulation can naturally induce labor by causing the woman to produce Oxytocin, which strengthens contractions of the uterus.
Although naturally inducing labor is safe, make sure that you only attempt to induce labor if your baby is not past its estimated delivery date. Inducing labor before you are expected to give birth can lead to complications during delivery such as the need for a Cesarean section or an excessively long labor. After all, trying to induce labor naturally when your body isn’t ready will usually not work. You cannot induce labor unless your cervix has already begun to dilate.
You have just learned how to induce your labor naturally. Make sure you visit your obstetrician or midwife for consultation before using any of the methods mentioned. Good luck.
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.
