Move over Pitocin...Pomegranate Extract Stimulates Contractions!
Scientists have recently found that pomegranate extract can stimulate contractions. God has placed so many things in nature, such as pineapples (ripen the cervix), red raspberry leaf (tones the uterus), and so much more, to help prepare a woman's body for labor and afterbirth. I guess I will be reaching for a pomegranate, next time I am "overdue".

Hey, that's great to know! I am pretty much ALWAYS *overdue*.
Oooh, glad to know this! I've been induced with pitocin at 38 weeks because of big babies the last 3 times and was really hoping to not have to do that again this time. Maybe some pineapple and pomegranate will be in order instead.
