When you go over your due date, it’s easy to feel under pressure to do something to start labour and to begin wondering what you can do to bring labour on, especially if you want to avoid induction.
Here’s what’s helpful to consider if you want to start labour…
● walking, using your birth ball, and being mindful of how you sit on the sofa can be helpful for the position of your baby
● resting and eating well
● relax and deal with any tension or worries
● be patient, there’s no rushing any of this
● look into your options around induction so you know more about it and whether you feel comfortable going beyond 41 weeks
