Risks Of Medical Induction

If you want the very best for your baby and yourself, you probably know you should avoid medical induction if possible. There are many medications used today to induce labor and they come with risks and side effects that you may not want to endure or risk for your child. On top of that it could still take days for labor to begin. In some cases it doesn't even work.

Before you consider medical induction, it is important that you are informed about the risks and side effects of the medications. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, labor should be induced only when it is more risky for the baby to remain inside the mother's uterus than to be born.

Bear in mind that the choices you make about drugs during labor will affect your baby, just like the choices you make about drugs during pregnancy.

The bottom line - medical labor induction should only be done for medical reasons or as an emergency.

Other Natural Ways To Induce Labor

Besides acupressure, there are several other ways to start labor naturally, but many of them don't work or can be harmful. At least Blue Cohosh and Black Cohosh have been strongly linked to serious bleeding during labor and cardiac problems in newborn babies.

Castor oil is also quite commonly used, but sometimes the diarrhea it results in continues through the whole delivery.

Nipple stimulation is another potentially dangerous induction method. Although this method causes the release of oxytocin, witch can bring on contractions, there is a risk of over-stimulating the uterus.
