Sick and tired of being the size of a house? If you've gone past your due date and can't wait any longer to see your new baby, why not try some of these ways to help speed things up and bring on labour.
These natural methods aren't scientifically proven, but have helped mums-to-be in the past. You shouldn't even think about trying to induce labour unless you've gone full term or are overdue. The last few weeks of pregnancy are essential for your baby to learn to breathe on its own, so try to let them come out in their own time.
To be extra safe, talk to your doctor or midwife before you try to induce labour with any of these methods, particularly if you've had any complications during your pregnancy.
