Help baby engage to induce labour naturally

There comes a time in every pregnancy when you’ve simply had enough. You reach that waddling, uncomfortable and completely-over-it stage and declare “it’s eviction time baby!” I’m positive this is biological function. I think we have to reach that point where we’re willing to sign up for labour, just to end our discomfort.

Engagement is important for labour because your baby can’t move through your pelvis if they don’t first move into your pelvis! Helping your baby to engage (by moving your body into certain positions) is a good first step towards encouraging labour to start.

While engagement doesn’t necessarily ensure labour is about to start, you’re unlikely to go into labour until baby engages. (Of course there are always exceptions and some babies won’t engage until labour.)

You can help induce labour naturally by encouraging your baby to engage in your pelvis. Certain yoga poses and positions open the pelvic inlet which creates space for baby’s head to enter the pelvis. If you’ve been experiencing stop start contractions and are feeling frustrated by all the false starts; then this video is for you.
