Natural Labor Induction

Effective Methods of Natural Labor Induction 

1. Acupressure
   This is a non-invasive natural labor induction method that has good results. Even if it doesn't put you into labor, it's a great relaxation technique.
2. Herbs
   Another effective method of labor induction that works by toning the uterus rather than actually starting contractions.
3. Nipple Stimulation
   This is one of the most effective methods. It works by stimulating the production of oxytocin, the natural hormone that causes contractions. This is also a great method for regulating contractions during early labor or if labor slows.
4. Sex
   Although probably not the top choice on your list at nine months pregnant, the prostaglandins released help the cervix to efface and dilate.
5. Castor Oil
   Definitely the least-appetizing of the natural labor induction methods. Castor oil is disgusting but can help stimulate intestinal contractions which in turn stimulate uterine contractions. This is definitely a last resort.
6. Foods
   While many women will swear that those spicy enchiladas put them into labor, the jig is up! There is no statistical evidence to prove that foods induce labor.
