Postdates treatments

With nearly 1 in 3 of all births being induced artificially for a variety of reasons, women are understandably anxious to avoid induction and go into labour naturally.

There are many reasons that women are offered Induction of labour, one of which is for postdates pregnancy, or being ‘overdue’.

I am not anti induction, as a midwife I know there are many maternal and fetal reasons in which induction of labour is absolutely the right choice. But many women who are being offered induction for being overdue, with otherwise healthy pregnancies, are keen to avoid this intervention and look for a more natural way to encourage labour.

Using certain Aromatherapy oils, which are known for their stimulating and tonic action on the uterus, alongside specific reflex zone points on the feet, post dates treatments can gently encourage the body to labour in it’s own time.

This treatment may be contraindicated for some pregnancy related conditions and as with all sessions, a thorough consultation will be necessary to ensure this treatment is safe for your pregnancy.
