Is It Safe To Induce Naturally?

Many mothers are averse to taking any for of drugs during their pregnancy and end up asking the question 'Is it safe to Induce Naturally?' Natural methods of induction are becoming more and more popular. But which ones are effective and safe to use?

Maternity acupressure has been proven to be one of the safest and gentlest methods whilst still being one of the most effective ways. Not only is maternity acupressure safe for you and your baby but it is probably the only method of induction out there that is one hundred percent, guaranteed safe.

It has been proven to be safe by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), among other reputed research institutions. There are no drugs, no side effects, no risks, and nothing that forces your baby to come before he or she is ready. It is no wonder there are so many doctors, midwives, doulas, and woman worldwide who have adopted this technique and swear by it.

93% of women go into labor in just 48 hours and some in just 25 minutes simply by stimulating these pressure points. It is also known to shorten the delivery time by more than 2 hours in most women. As it is a very simple technique that only involves gentle pressure applied by your thumb or finger, maternity acupressure is a very safe and effective way to induce naturally.

Not only does acupressure assist in inducing labor, it also plays a major role in pain relief during labor. Unlike pain relief medications such as epidurals, acupressure does not slow down the labor process hence reducing the risk of complications to the baby. in 2004, The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine published a study showing that stimulation of one single pressure point can reduce labor pain significantly.

This is a simple hands-on technique that can be learned by yourself or your spouse. It is basically applying pressure to a key point on the body for a moment. Anyone can do it, and it can be done anywhere!
