How do I Induce Labor Naturally?

Some ways to induce labor is through nipple stimulation, acupressure or some women will try herbal things like red raspberry leaf tea or by using castor oil.

"There are no proven non-medical ways for inducing labor naturally," says New York midwife Elizabeth Stein, CNM. The only safe and reliable methods for starting labor involve medications given at the hospital. Most other techniques are rumors, unlikely to help at best and potentially harmful.

Only a couple show any promise, and the jury is still out on those. Acupuncture might help bring on labor, but it's too soon to say. In parts of Asia, it has been used for centuries to jump-start labor.

One small study at the University of North Carolina found that women who got acupuncture were more likely to go into labor without a medical "push." The study included 56 women who were 39.5 to 41 weeks pregnant. (Forty weeks is full term.) Half of the women got three acupuncture sessions, while the other half did not.

Seventy percent of the women who got acupuncture went into labor on their own, compared to 50% who received standard care. The women who got acupuncture were also less likely to deliver by cesarean section -- 39% compared to 17%. "We had almost a 50% reduction in the C-section rate," says researcher Terry Harper, MD.
