Pregnant - Inducing Labor
I also have six children, two c-sections, the rest VBACs, most at home. I was induced for first pregnancy because doctor was going on vacation, ended up with an emergency c-section when the baby's heart stopped beating. Many women have abnormal reactions to pitocin - it is a powerful SYNTHETIC hormone and if you are committed to natural health - stay away from it! Let your baby come on his or her own time table. Sometimes rubbing your "belly" with castor oil and putting a warm cloth over it will induce contractions. Your husband may be able to start your labor by giving you his natural form of stimulant (sperm). After some long, painful childbirths, I learned Bradley childbirth and learned to RELAX and had my best birth at 40, giving birth to a 10 lb., 11 oz. baby - naturally, 12 days "overdue" by the gestational chart, but right on time in God's plan. So, eat healthy, get lots of rest, walk every day, and look forward to holding that precious baby in your arms!! Please don't let the doctor dictate your baby's arrival. -Sharon Grimes |
