Natural Ways to Induce Labor




Labor is a scary enough prospect–it gets even worse when you are waiting longer than you have to for it to start. There are several ways to start labor inducing and many reasons why you would want to. The most common reason is that the baby is overdue. If the baby is extremely overdue, you will want a doctor to medically induce you. However no inducement should be attempted without a doctor’s permission.

Taking Castor Oil can do it. It is not so much the oil itself as it is the muscle contractions in your digestive system. Since your digestive system is so close to your reproductive system, any contractions in that area are good–they could lead your uterine muscles to follow suit.

Spicy food has also been known to do the same thing. This may be convenient, as spicy food is a common craving for many pregnant women. Just be sure to check with your doctor that it is safe for you to eat. There are many factors in a woman’s diet that one must consider.

An enema is a gross, but effective, way to also stimulate the digestive tract. It makes sense, since so many excrete during labor due to the close proximity of vagina to anus–the contractions affect both areas. It is natural, therefore, that it would work the opposite way. Once again, you must be careful and get a doctor’s permission.

The tried and true method seems to be intercourse or other forms of stimulation. Some women are uncomfortable when they are that heavily pregnant and do not wish to attempt intercourse. This is why breast or nipple stimulation also works, since breasts have a direct physiological connection to the uterus and clitoris. Some women are more sensitive than others, but one’s breasts tend to become very sensitive anyway during pregnancy.

Any one of these could work or none of them could. With a doctor’s permission you can try them all, perhaps over and over again. However there may be no other course but to sit and wait until the baby is ready. A doctor will induce you if you go on too long, but your discomfort for a few days is nothing compared with delivering a child safely.

Labor inducing is not something that women look forward to, especially when it is done by medicines. However, you can induce labor naturally through acupressure.
