Alternative induction measures to avoid pitocin labor augmentation!

“You would need an extreme amount of semen to create the same impact as a vaginal orgasm, once again we socially center the penis, and men’s arousal”

- Birth videos! Watch happy birth videos together to encourage oxytocin

- Nipple stimulation with your fingers, or a pump, or with running water over them in the shower!

- Orgasm, either solo or with a partner

- Miles circuit gets things going, do this for at least 30 mins a day if you can https://www.milescircuit.com/uploads/4/8/1/4/4814341/miles_circuit.pdf

- Herbs https://www.amazon.com/Gentle-Birth-4oz-Childbirth-Support/dp/B004NG2OVA This is great for encouraging shorter labor!

- Acupressure! (have a partner or friend do these on you) https://youtu.be/86UBOLR5gFY?si=SzLRpkydE68lzIqv

- Guided meditation will be wonderful at getting your body and mind aligned with intention! https://youtu.be/hPUU4y9LDJM?si=NrRBhknT6yjF4IvY (maybe listen in the shower with low lights and do some nipple stimulation while you listen to get that oxytocin flowin!)

- Side lying release This is one of my favorite techniques as well for giving baby the most room to use by adjusting hips and pelvis which can encourage babies descent https://youtu.be/-e4EXjcN7yE?si=oUl7ghKC7pl7mPXB (have hubs help you with this too)

- castor oil induction method! https://youtu.be/XWEIK7Ols3U?si=8r0w_muM_RgDORsn

- I would try things in this order, from least intense to most and just listen to your body afterwards, if you start having a ton of contractions just pause and get water and rest.
