Inducing labor with acupressure? When you think of being induced you always imagine something unpleasant with powerful drugs. But if you have to induce then using labor acupressure is the best and nicest way.

Acupressure is a magnificent technique to be used anyway during birth. Apart from using acupressure to induce labor it is very useful for helping with contraction pains, back pain, relaxation and fighting off nausea and vomiting.

For these reasons alone labor acupressure should be used by every person giving birth.

Using acupressure to induce labor is an ancient system which has been used for thousands of years in the East. The West has been studying it for decades now too and the World Health organization (WHO) and the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) have demonstrated it to be safe.

Acupressure induced labor is used more than you imagine and is a well recognized technique used by many pregnancy professionals and mothers.

Acupressure points for inducing labor help the cervix dilate, speed up slow early labor, help your baby to descend, and encourage labor contractions.

Labor induction within 48 hours in 83% of women using labor acupressure; that's pretty impressive. In some cases it has even been shown to induce labor within 25 minutes! And even science has proven labor acupressure to be effective.

Inducing labor acupressure is a very simple hands-on practice. It involves putting pressure on certain points on the body, anyone can do it. You don't need any special training or qualification.

The actual technique is just about putting pressure on the acupressure points. If you press your thumb into a spot on your body then you can do acupressure.

You can press the acupressure points yourself or get your partner to do it.

Studies show that the baby is calmer when labor acupressure is administered. Not only that, your labor is easier and shorter and no medical intervention is required.

With no side effects and no drugs the benefits of labor acupressure are very apparent. Acupressure is a natural way to induce labor; it speeds up a slow labor, gives you pain relief and is safe for both you and the baby.

Women who use labor acupressure have a delivery time of 2 hours less than those who don't. Research has shown this.
