To choose whether or not to induce labor, you must consider whether induction is more likely to benefit or damage you and your baby.
âInducing labor entails coercing your body/baby into doing something it is not ready to accomplish. Be prepared for the complete package, i.e. all the processes, prior to consenting to be induced. You may be fortunate enough to avoid one stage, but once the induction procedure begins, you are committed to doing whatever it takes to deliver the baby, since consenting to induce implies that you or your baby are at risk if the pregnancy continues. Induced labor is not physiological labor, and you and your baby will be regarded as high risk – just because you are. — Rachel Reed, MD
10. KD 1K1 is positioned on the sole of the foot and is the starting point of the Kidney Meridian or the site of entrance for Qi or vital energy.

Dr. Jonathan Schaffir, an Ohio State University clinical assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology, did a research on labor-inducing folklore. He examined over 100 pregnant women and asked them about the ten most prevalent misconceptions regarding inducing labor. The findings were as follows: walking, making love, intense exercise, the use of castor oil, nipple stimulation, eating spicy foods, fear, hunger, and having an enema. I'm not sure how fear, malnutrition, and an enema would help. What about you? Are you going to give one of them a try?
