how to induce labor and Delivery?
Labor induction means actions to start the birth process through either medical intervention or natural methods such as maternity acupressure. The process of medical labor induction is to administer one or both hormones called oxytocin and/or prostaglandin. These hormones stimulate the pregnant womans body to start contractions in the uterus ad help the cervix to dilate. There are non-medicinal, mechanical, techniques to induce labor which include artificial rupture of the membranes and stripping the membranes. Even after stripping or rupturing the membranes it may still take several days acupressure for labor for some women to reach full labor. Inducing a labor either with the synthetic hormones or disrupting the membranes could stimulate the contractions too quickly. If the cervix has not dilated enough for delivery, the baby cant make it down the birth canal. That is why medical labor induction can lead to an unplanned cesarean section. Sometimes the labor inducing agents may not take effect at all and you will have to be admitted for a cesarean section.
