How Do I Induce Naturally

How do I induce naturally? Are you in your final stage of your pregnancy or are you overdue? Either way, the thought of inducing labor is something that enters every pregnant mothers mind.

You are only advised to induce labor naturally if you are overdue. There are many herbal concoctions and remedies out there to induce naturally, but are they safe?

As with any food, anything that is digested can potentially not be tolerated by the body and you could end up with diarrhoea, constipation, bloatedness and nausea. These are really not great options if these are exactly the symptoms you are trying to avoid in the last stage of your pregnancy. So if you are not already an avid comsumer of say for example pineapple then it probably is not a great idea to start eating platefuls of it now!

Maternity Acupressure is the only method that has been proven 100% safe by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). There are no adverse side effects to mother and baby.
