Induce Labor

There are many ways to carry out induced labors. Normally, women deliver babies in the period between 37th and 41st weeks of pregnancy. Sometimes there may not be any false labor or contractions till the 41st. Also there may be lack of chance for delivery after 37th week, though the baby is trying to push. In these circumstances, the term “induce labor” arises and you should consult your doctor first about the matter. Following are the usual ways for inducing labor.

1. Acupressure

This is the most sought after method. You first consult an acupressure practitioner or doctor and find out the acupressure points. Then have warm bath and use aromatic candles just for relaxation. Your mind should be in a calm mood and no stressful feelings should be there. Stimulate the acupressure points gently and the immediate effects could be traced out within 24 to 48 hours.

2. Massage

Massaging with herbal and essential oils is really a wonderful option. Stomach, breasts, abdomen and lower back are the body parts to be massaged. Breast massaging causes production of a hormone called oxytocin, which has a prominent part during labor.

3. Selected food materials

It is said that if you have a lavish and spicy meal, labor will be induced. Fruits like mango, pineapple and kiwi have a potential to do the same. Some foods don’t really induce labor but help by softening the uterus. Raspberry leaf tea is one among them.

4. Simple walking

This is the easiest way for the purpose and a profitable approach too. Walking helps your muscles move and thus stiffness is reduced. Climbing the stairs also does a favorable thing by opening the cervix. It really helps to place your baby in a healthier spot.

5. Sex while pregnant?

Yes. Having sex while you are pregnant has a positive effect by producing the hormone Oxytocin. The hormone helps to contract the uterus and smooth the labor process.
