Maternity Acupressure - How To Naturally Induce Labor
I remember all too well the births of my 4 children. They were all born 1 to 2 weeks before my due dates and all were natural births. As what usually happens, the first one if the hardest and longest labor. I was sure I would never conceive another child, but when it is all over you forget about the pain and start planning for the next baby. Labor and giving birth usually gets easier and faster after each child. Would I have tried Acupressure had any of the children not have been born before their due dates? You bet I would have. Now I will be recommending it for my grandchildren when they start having babies!
Even though we live in a world of modern technology, medically inducing labor is still not as safe as maternity acupressure. When a first time mother has been medically induced, many times it can result with her having a cesarean section.
Acupressure is a very easy and safe procedure. You just apply pressure to the designated body points and that's all there is to it. I think you will agree it would be a lot better than trying to induce labor by eating spicy food, trying sex, jumping up and down or any of the other ways women have tried to induce labor.
Here are just a few of the things you will discover in using the Maternity Acupressure method:
*How to induce labor at home and avoid the risks and discomforts of chemically labor induction.
*The Acupressure points that help your cervix dialate and decrease your chances of a cesarian section.
*How to help your baby descend better into the pelvis and help him or her to make the most important journey into this world.
*Unlike acupuncture, it only involves the use of the finger tips and thumbs on the pressure points instead of needles.
*Two simple acupressure techniques that help a baby in a posterior position turn into an optimal anterior position for easier birth.
*Acupressure is very helpful in relieving pain, especially in the lower back area.
*Acupressure tactics that calm you and give you relief from anxiety and nervousness before and during labor.
Anyone who has been pregnant for 9 months will begin to feel a little anxious in finally being able to produce that little bundle of joy. If you go over your due date, you begin to really feel anxious. Finally your doctor may decide it is time to medically induce labor because your baby is becoming too large. It is a good idea, if you have been planning to do acupressure in case your due date comes and goes, to tell your doctor of your plans. Your doctor probably already knows about acupressure and will let you know that most doctors do approve of maternity acupressure.
You should never try to induce labor before your due date. That also means you should avoid using any pressure on your hands, feet and abdoman after your first trimester because you could accidentally start labor.
It is a good idea to have someone else, your husband, family member or a friend, do the procedure for you. When you are pregnant it is a bit difficult to touch your toes. That same person should do some practice sessions on someone who is NOT pregnant because it could permaturely start labor. Before you begin, make sure you have taken care of all the necessary things to be done while you are away and that you have your bag packed. Chances are you will go into labor quite quickly and probably will have your baby in a day or two.
Above all, do not start acupressure on any pregnant woman before they have been told by a doctor that inducing labor is safe. The only other time it would be safe to do acupressure is if the mom to be has already started labor. Doing acupressure would just help things along.
