How Relaxation Can Help Induce Labor Naturally
Are you wondering how to naturally encourage labor as you approach your due date? In this video, we’ll explore how relaxation techniques can help your body prepare for labor, the science behind it, and even how to support labor if you’ve had interventions like a membrane sweep or Foley bulb.
We’ll break down:
• Why relaxation helps release oxytocin (the “labor hormone”).
• How stress can delay or inhibit labor.
• Evidence-backed relaxation methods to promote cervical ripening and contractions.
• Practical tips for staying calm, even after a sweep or Foley bulb.
Whether you’re hoping to avoid medical induction or just want to feel more in control as labor approaches, this video will provide you with actionable advice to help create the best conditions for labor to start naturally.
