Overdue And Frustrated "A Sure Way To Sart Labor Naturally"

Being overdue when your pregnant can be so frustrating and upsetting. Your excited for this baby and when your doctor say this is when your due, you kind of count on that. Besides the fact that you are so done with having heartburn, swollen feet, itching stomach, aching ribs, etc. Not to mention being so exhausted you just can't take another step and feeling as big as a house. Everyone thinks they are being sympathetic when they ask, "Haven't you had that baby yet?" You just want to say, "Well I did, but then I accidentally swallowed a turkey."

I remember being overdue with my first baby. I was willing to try almost anything. Maybe do some running or try some caster oil. WARNING: Don't try this at home! Trust me! But there is something you can do to help you start labor that is safe and natural. It's called maternity acupressure. This is great for naturally starting labor. It will make your labor easier and shorter. For those of you who have had the experience of pitocin, this is a natural and so much less painful alternative. And for those of you who have not tried it, I hope you never do!

Not only is there acupressure that can start labor, but it can ease your labor pains to make them bare able. This is excellent for those who want to have their baby naturally without any pain medication, but it is also great to use for the labor pains you have before you receive your epidural.

Most women do not want to have a cesarean. Did you know that statistics show, women who are induced have a higher chance of having a cesarean. When using maternity acupressure, it naturally starts labor and helps to open your cervix, so your chances are no higher than if you went into labor on your own and.

Some times the babies head is not turned in the correct position. This is a very painful and difficult delivery. There are simple acupressure techniques that help a baby in a posterior position turn into an optimal anterior position for easier delivery. My sister delivered all her babies posterior. She could have benefited by using maternity acupressure if she had known about it.

Transition is the time, during labor, when the babies head moves down. It is the most difficult part of labor and delivery. It can last anywhere from 2 hours to 5 minutes depending on the person. Acupressure can help get you through it and also shorten the time it takes to get through transition.

Maternity acupressure is a terrific way for the soon to be dad to be involved and know how to help you with your labor. They just want to make you more comfortable, but heaven knows they need some help sometimes.

So whether your looking for help to start labor or just to help you through it once it's started, maternity acupressure may just be for you. To learn more about maternity acupressure:
