The primary reason why some women want to learn self-induction of labor is in the event that their pregnancy extends beyond the normal 38 to 40 weeks. Pregnancies that go beyond this period result in long, painful labors and the birth of large babies.
Other women do induction methods to promote a faster labor period and smoother delivery of the baby. It is a known fact that many pregnant women dread the painful contractions that accompany labor and birth. By starting labor induction early, it will be easier, less stressful and less painful during the time of the delivery.
It is an unfortunate fact, though, that some women learn self-induction methods in order to get rid of unwanted pregnancies. This is usually performed before the 36th week of pregnancy. However, early induction of labor for the specific goal of aborting the fetus is a very risky endeavor for the mother. There is a significant risk of hemorrhage and infection, which may prove life threatening.
Before learning how to induce labor yourself, evaluate your motives and reasons for wanting to do these methods.

Here’s what Jenny has to say about it:
first of all you don not need to induce labor unless you are past 40 weeks pregnant but from my experience with my daught castor oil worked great she was 2 weeks late and i took this stuff and had her within 2 hours!!! make sure its castor oil not castrol oil castor oil is natural and completely safe my husband and i researched online before trying this method (sex, walking etc didnt work for us) if your baby is not ready youll just get diarialol good luck your little baby knows when to come it does get dangerous for your baby if it is 10 days or more late because at this age the baby will start to release fecal matter into the placenta and if hes in it too long it can poison him
Like I said, results vary from person to person. One method may work for some and not on others. Try what works with you.

Here are some techniques again that may be used to induce labor naturally:
- Walking
Walking during pregnancy can really help bring the baby down or near the pelvic area. This is because of gravity and the movement you do with your hips when you are walking.
Walking can help induce labor naturally or even help with the labor process if you already are feeling the contractions. sf
- Sex
Having sex is also considered an effective way of doing it, but be certain that the water bag is not yet broken else it may harm the baby/fetus. This method works two ways.
Prostaglandins, a substance which can be found in human sper can also provoke labor naturally.
Of course, before sex, nipple stimulation can also be an effective way to put someone who are pregnant and due into labor. When the nipple is stimulated a hormone called oxytocin is produced which in turn helps with the contractions.
- Raspberry Leaf and Evening Primrose Oil
- Food and Oils and others When we say food, we don’t mean fried chicken or fries or anything like that. Also, this is the least one or the last one you should try as this will cause diarrhea.
Maternity Acupressure for Inducing Labor
Acupressure is defined as the application of pressure – using the thumbs or fingertips – to the discrete points on the body stimulated in acupuncture that is used for its therapeutic effects. While acupressure is primarily used to relieve tension and pain, in recent decades, it has become recognized as a means for self-inducing labor.
Maternity acupressure involves applying pressure on key points of the body to achieve certain events that would lead to induction of labor. One desired effect is the strengthening of uterine contractions. In women who have tense and hard cervixes, maternity acupressure aids in softening and ripening the cervical walls, so that it dilates easily, allowing the baby to pass through. Acupressure also promotes the quick descent of the baby into the cervix. Finally, women who are suffering from intense labor pains can find relief through acupressure.
