Post Dates Treatments

Post Dates Treatments

With nearly 1 in 3 of all births being induced artificially for a variety of reasons, women are understandably anxious to avoid induction and go into labour naturally.

There are many reasons that women are offered Induction of labour, one of which is for postdates pregnancy, or being ‘overdue’.

I am not anti-induction; as a midwife I know there are many maternal and fetal reasons in which induction of labour is absolutely the right choice. But many women who are being offered induction for being overdue, with otherwise healthy pregnancies, are keen to avoid this intervention and look for a more natural way to encourage labour.

Aromatherapy

Using certain Aromatherapy oils, which are known for their stimulating and tonic action on the uterus, alongside specific reflex zone points on the feet, post dates treatments can gently encourage the body to labour in it’s own time.

Contraindications

This treatment may be contra-indicated for some pregnancy related conditions and, as with all sessions, a thorough consultation will be necessary to ensure this treatment is safe for your pregnancy.

Women often come during pregnancy, and mothers and their babies for problems associated with difficult births. Letting go of tension and fear held in the body enables both mother and baby to settle into calmness.

The practitioner has an in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology and may work at different places around the body while you are fully clothed. In pregnancy, depending on your trimester you may be lying on your side, or comfortably sitting on a birth ball, or leaning forward onto the couch. It is a deeply relaxing and gentle therapy, which promotes a sense of safety in the body, which allows for healing on many levels.

As a therapist, I hold space with empathy and calm. I bring a whole-person perspective into every session—understanding that healing and adjustment in the postnatal period is not just physical, but deeply emotional and energetic as well.
