When it comes to giving birth and inducing labor, women of today would mostly want to choose the natural and safe ways and avoid drugs in any way. Of course, there are ways that you can do to help you have an easy childbirth, and if you need a little induction, you can also find some ways on how to induce labor naturally.

Inducing labor prematurely is not a wise thing to do. The old saying many women grow to know and hate - 'your baby will be born when ready' - does contain some truth. Some women, even though they feel ready to literally pop at 38 weeks, might require a few more weeks before the baby will be ready to be born.

First is through sexual intercourse. Most women are afraid to have sexual intercourse because they are worried that it may cause abnormality to the child or may affect the delivery of the baby. However, it is the exact opposite. The truth is during sexual intercourse, the woman's body releases hormones that will help stimulate labor. These hormones are called oxytocin. Also, the sperm or the semen of men contains prostaglandins that can also help in the softening of the cervix.

You may not feel the ill effects of these chemicals right away but they can accumulate in the body and can cause serious sickness or organ damage later on. This is the reason why wanting to know how to induce labor yourself is a good thing and you should be commended because of it.The use of chemicals is not really necessary because there are many natural labor induction methods to choose from.

Another way to induce labor at home is to eat spicy foods. It has been shown that eating something spicy helps to speed up the systems of your body, including labor. Your body will self induce labor and you will get the relief that you have been looking for.

Many mature women, who've already had their children, often have pearls of wisdom to share when it comes to how to induce labor yourself. A common approach that they swear by is to give the baby a jolt. This means you want to shake things up a bit to get labor moving in the right direction. Two very simple ways to do this that are also fun are to take a car ride down a bumpy street. If you live in the city you'll likely have to venture out into the country to find an unpaved road to drive on. Don't attempt this alone though just in case you do go into labor.

Another method to try if you've been wondering about how to induce labor on your own is to indulge in a meal filled with spicy foods. If you've been craving a spicy enchilada or quesadilla, now is the perfect time to enjoy it. It's believed that some spices can cause contractions to start. It's a great idea to make it a fun evening out with your partner. That way you two can relax and take pleasure in a nice meal before your new baby arrives.
