Labor Without Drugs – Induce Labor at Home

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was determined to have a natural birth. In fact, I chose a birthing center instead of a hospital because of the difference in prenatal care and birthing options. My due date came and went and I was anxious to have my baby. I was looking for ways to induce labor.

I tried castor oil. I just spent a lot of time in the bathroom. I tried vigorous walks. I just got winded. It wasn’t until I tried acupressure to induce labor that things started happening. I had my husband work on me and within a few hours, my contractions were so strong I nearly passed out. A few hours later, our daughter was born.
