How to induce labour naturally

Overdue and trying to induce labour naturally?

1. Go for a long walk

1. Go for a long walk

Walking can help bring your baby's head down into your cervix.

2) Drinking raspberry leaf tea

This helps to strengthen your uterus.

3. Eat curry

Eating curry helps to stimulate your bowels, which might kickstart labour

4. Tweak your nipples

Nipple tweaking for over 20 minutes can help release oxytocin, a labour inducing hormone.

5. Love-making

Uses both oxytocin and prostaglandins to stimulate contractions and potentially induce labor.

6. Relax

When you relax, your body opens up which means the baby will just come out with ease.

Remember that not all of these techniques work for everyone to naturally induce labor. If your body isn't ready, even a labor induction is often ineffective.

Get ready for the baby’s arrival by adding your due date.
