When your doctor is inducing labor, he will try one or more of these 5 different methods:

  • A finger inserted to separate the amniotic sac from the cervix. This causes the body to release prostoglandins and induces labor.
  • Your doctor may give you synthetic prostoglandins to get labor started.
  • A plastic balloon device may be inserted into your cervix and then filled with water to ripen the cervix.
  • Your doctor may insert a plastic hook into the cervix and break the amniotic sac to help induce labor.
  • You may be given the drug Pitocin to strengthen your contractions.

My favorite things to write about are topics that have to do with pregnancy, weddings, saving money, living green, and life with dogs. When I’m not writing, I love to spend time with my husband, read, create 3D artwork and Native American beadwork.

About Us

AvatarI’m a new mom. I work from home and I write — mostly about my outdoor adventures, DIY projects, newly discovered products, and helpful tips as a first-time mom. I also like to share details about the alternative choices I’m exploring as I enjoy this journey called motherhood. My family includes a toddler, 2 stepchildren, 1 dog, 1 cat, and a wonderful husband. My pre-pregnancy life was full of freedom and adventure, so I have a fresh new perspective when it comes to walking away from a career to become a full time stay-at-home Mama.
