Patient's question:
I am almost a week past my due date. The doctor said that if the baby doesn't come within a few more days, I will need to have a C-section. I don't want a C-section; I only want a natural birth because it's better for the baby. So, I want to know how to make the baby labor earlier.Doctor's answer:
After the due date, most moms feel anxious and want to see the baby earlier. So, how can labor be induced earlier? One method is to go for a walk, especially in the morning and evening, or you can climb stairs or do squats. Squats can strengthen leg muscles, which in turn promotes the baby to descend into the pelvis more quickly, helping to achieve early delivery. However, when doing squats, it's important to do them in moderation and avoid overdoing it.
