Labor Pains
Are there any alternative approaches that you feel uneasy about?
There are a variety of herbs and natural medications that some women use and we don't have good safety records on these things. Some may affect your blood's ability to clot or induce labor and some are dangerous. The same is true of some of the enemas women use as a natural way to induce labor. Another thing that is not a good idea is using sexual intercourse to induce labor. There are some reasons why it might work, but for some patients, this is not a good idea, especially if your membranes are ruptured or there's any sign of infection.
