Your pregnancy has been going very well without any complications but now you are overdue. Your doctor is afraid that your baby will grow too big and your placenta might start failing so he suggests to you that if you don’t go into labour soon it will have to be induced.
Since you don’t really want to be given drugs to induce labour you try to induce labour yourself using methods such as sexual intercourse, walking around, nipple stimulation, eating spicy food, drinking caster oil, etc. but there is still no sign of labour. Don’t give up yet because there is one more very safe and effective method to try.
Do you know that acupuncture can induce labour in a natural way? There are a number of acupuncture points that can cause uterine contractions. Unlike inducing labour using a drug such as synthetic oxytocin, acupuncture helps your body induce labour naturally and is highly effective and very safe. It could take as little as one treatment of acupuncture to induce labour.
