What is Inducing Labor?
As you near the end of your pregnancy, you are probably very eager for your baby to make an entrance into the world. By now you are constantly tired from lugging your pregnancy weight around and all you want is for this baby to come out. If your due date has come and gone, then you will definitely be feeling frustrated and uncomfortable. Keep in mind that your due date only serves as a guideline and may be inaccurate. Try to be patient because at the end of the day it is your baby who decides when it is ready to arrive and when your body is ready to give birth. However, there are a few simple but safe ways that can be helpful to induce labor and giving nature a nudge. These methods should only be used if you are past your due date and it is very important to consult with your obstetrician, midwife or doula when trying them.
