Can massages induce labor?

Many pregnant women wonder if massage can induce labor. They fear that premature or unexpected labor could harm their baby. The good news is that research is consistent: There is no evidence that massage can induce labor unless combined with other techniques that dilate the cervix and thus help induce labor.

However, massage is beneficial for pregnant women – it relieves muscle tension, reduces stress, and alleviates lower back pain, which can be very helpful. Regular massage during pregnancy helps improve blood and lymph flow and reduce unnecessary stress hormones. This can make labor easier. Therefore, midwives often recommend professional massage to mothers during the last few months as part of their preparation for labor.

Nevertheless, caution should be exercised – abortion or labor-inducing techniques should never be used without medical supervision. While massage is unlikely to induce labor on its own, you should consult your doctor or midwife before attempting any type of massage and seek advice.
