There are several fruits, vegetables and food items that influence pregnancy and delivery. Some foods influence the health of the mother and unborn child by supplying the daily needed vital nutrients while there are other food items that are capable of stimulating the contractions and thus, inducing the labor. In some remote villages, people still use some fruits and vegetables to terminate unwanted pregnancies. This proves what some food items are capable of.

Clubbing some physical activities along with the intake of the food items described above can activate the contractions even faster. Some of the physical activities are:

Wish you a happy delivery.
