Natural Ways to Induce Labor

Ways your licensed physician might suggest to induce labor

  • Your licensed medical doctor might medicinally induce labor by prescribing medicine that helps soften and open the cervix.

  • Your licensed medical doctor might try to create an opening with a thin piece of plastic if the amniotic sac is still intact. This process is not painful, however, patients usually feel a warm gush when the sac opens.

  • Licensed medical doctors sometimes prescribe a synthetic version of hormone that the body produces in higher levels during active labor.

    A common idea is to manually stimulate the nipples because it may release a hormone called oxytocin which is produced in the body during labor. Be extremely cautious and consult your physician before attempting this exercise because this practice may result in dangerous contractions.
