I recently had this conversation with a client and it prompted me to make this little PSA….
Let’s clear something up about “natural induction.”
There is no such thing as a truly natural form of induction.
Birth unfolds naturally when the body and baby are ready.
Anything we do to try to start labor—whether it’s pharmaceutical, herbal, or a home remedy—is an intervention.
Just because something doesn’t come in a pill or an IV bag doesn’t automatically make it “natural” or risk-free.
🌸 True natural labor begins when your body and your baby initiate it.
🌸 Everything else is a form of induction, no matter the source.
🌸 Informed choice means understanding that interventions—whether medical or “alternative”—still carry effects, risks, and benefits.
The goal isn’t to scare or to shame, but to remind you: know the difference, ask questions, and choose what feels right and safe for you and your baby.
