Initiating Labour Naturally

If a baby is overdue, doctors may attempt to initiate pregnancy by Prostaglandin E gel on the cervix to ripen the cervix, then attaching the mother to a Pitocin I.V. drip. This can be a painful and traumatic to the mother and can cause the increased need for labour drugs (such as epidural), raise the need to use a caesarian delivery and can cause technology related heath problems including death. Many more pregnant mothers today are preferring to have a more natural birth, avoiding the use of chemical painkillers and using more natural methods such as water birthing.
There are many things that can naturally induce pregnancy such as…
Sexual intercourse – It may feel like it would be the last thing you’d want to do, but sex can help encourage your pregnancy. Male sperm contains prostaglandin (the chemical we mentioned earlier), this ripens the cervix stimulating the uterus to contract. You don’t need to have full penetrative sex, masturbation (for the woman) can also help induce pregnancy as the female orgasm releases oxytocin, a hormone that stimulates contractions.
Visualising an opening rosebud – This can help in between each contraction as it allows your mind to relate to the opening of the cervix.
Hypnotherapy - It is deeply relaxing and effective, and allows your mind and your body to work in harmony, the way nature intended. Hypnotherapy allows you to be able to control and completely relaxed at the same time.
Kinesiology – This involves a method of analysis that uses muscle tension to evaluate nerve function.
Walking – Easy exercise like this can be ideal for pregnant women to be able to keep active. Walking uses the forces of gravity to encourage to baby and swing hips side to side may help to bring the baby to the right position for birth. But, ensure you don’t over exercise as this can cause body chemicals which are bad for the foetus.
Hot and spicy foods – Foods such as curries and chillies can stimulate and can irritate the digestive system. This causes dehydration, which has been known to causes contractions within pregnant women. Spicy foods also may encourage prostaglandin production, which ripens the cervix.
Raspberry leaf tea – This can strengthen the uterus and is a uterine tonic. Doctors recommend this in not drunk until week 34 (or later) of pregnancy.
Evening Primrose Oil – When used vaginally, this can help soften the cervix. The capsules can be inserted into the vagina and this can be done at bedtime. The usual dosage is two capsules per day, increasing to three or four after the 38th week.
Naturally initiating a pregnancy can avoid the need for harmful drugs, and can ensure the pregnancy goes smoothly. Although, Not all of these methods will work for everyone, and if the baby is not prepared to be born then even a labour induction will be ineffective. Unless there is a medical reason, you will both benefit from waiting until you are both ready.

Did you know that this is the case?
How is dilation and evacuation abortion (D & E) performed?
A D & E abortion is performed in the second trimester (12-24 weeks) and is usually a 2-3 day procedure. At this stage of pregnancy, the fetus’ tendons, muscles, and bones are more developed. The cervix has closed more tightly and must be dilated enough to remove the larger fetus.
To aid in cervical dilation, laminaria (dried seaweed sticks) are inserted into the cervix. The dilation process can take 1-2 days depending on the size of the fetus.
Once the cervix is sufficiently dilated, the laminaria are removed. Forceps are inserted into the uterus to forcibly dismember the fetus. The skull is then crushed and removed. A suction aspiration is then introduced to remove any remaining fetal parts, the placenta and uterine lining.
How is a partial birth abortion (D & X) performed?
The D & X abortion is used in late second and third trimesters (24-36 weeks). As with the D & E, the cervix must be dilated using laminaria.
Forceps are then introduced into the uterus to grasp the baby’s legs. The baby is delivered breech while the head remains inside the birth canal. Using blunt-tipped surgical scissors, the base of the skull is pierced and a suction catheter is inserted to extract the brain. This causes the skull to collapse and the dead baby is then fully delivered.
Sometimes, while the child is partially delivered and still alive, the organs are removed and sold for fetal tissue experimentation (an illegal practice).

How is a live birth abortion (prostaglandin) performed?
A Prostaglandin or Live Birth Abortion is done in the second or third trimester. Prostaglandins are naturally occurring chemical compounds which assist in the birthing process. For the abortion procedure, artificial prostaglandins are injected into the amniotic sac which induces violent labor and leads to the birth of a child usually too young to survive.
Often salt or another toxin is first injected to ensure that the baby will be delivered dead, since some babies have survived the trauma of a prostaglandin abortion and been born alive.
How is a chemical abortion (RU-486) performed?
RU-486 is a chemical (rather than a surgical) abortion, performed up to 56 days gestation. RU-486 requires at least three visits to the doctor’s office or clinic.
At the first visit, the woman is given a physical exam and is administered mifepristone. RU-486 blocks the action of progesterone, the natural hormone vital to maintaining the lining of the uterus. The embryo starves as the nutrient lining disintegrates.
At a second visit, 36-48 hours later, the woman is giving a dose of artificial prostaglandins, usually misoprostol, which initiate uterine contractions and usually cause the embryo to be expelled from the uterus. Most women abort during the four hour waiting period, but about 30% abort as many as five days later—at home, work, etc.
A third visit about 2 weeks later determines whether the abortion has occurred or if a surgical abortion is necessary to complete the procedure.
Yes.

,I am aware of these monstrous acts, but thank you for your detailed accounts of them! I would really hope that the people that support abortion would read them thoroughly, unfortunately they all are brainwashed by the liberal baby killers!
