If you're past your due date, it is high time you started thinking about labor induction.
Although there are medical ways to go about it, many people prefer naturally inducing labor instead, and avoiding unnecessary drugs or medical procedures.
To begin, you first need to decide which method you're going to use.
One of the most common (and undoubtedly the most enjoyable) is sex.
Semen contains substances that can actually ripen the cervix and by doing so helps bring on labor.
Also, orgasms have been known to cause contractions to begin since having an orgasm releases oxytocin.
Along the same lines, another top method to try would have to be nipple stimulation.
Just massage the areola in a circular motion and see if that works.
Admittedly, there are quite a few other popular methods of naturally inducing labor.
However, most come with side effects that you'd probably rather not risk.
One however does not - acupressure.
By stimulating various pressure points located on your body, acupressure has been known to help bring on labor.
One of these points is located in the webbing between your thumb and forefinger, and massaging that area has been known to cause contractions.
There are other spots too, such as the one between your ankle bone and Achilles tendon (above your heel).
Frankly speaking, acupressure is fast becoming the most popular method of naturally inducing labor - and for good reasons.
As you can see, it is easy to perform, fast, and has no side effects to speak of.
Not to mention, its something that you can do wherever you are (unlike sex)! Now that you know your options you should be well prepared if you ever need to induce labor.
