ugh....I get so sick of these posts. THERE ARE NO NATURAL WAYS TO INDUCE LABOR!! The baby initiates a cascade of hormones by releasing surfactant from their lungs. That's how labor starts. Not by eating pineapples or spicy food or curb walking or any of the other things. Be patient! Wouldn't you rather your baby's lungs were fully developed before he came out?? Because guess where those early babies go when they can't breathe properly. The NICU. Not cool.

🚨 MSDH has declared a public health emergency in response to Mississippi’s rising infant mortality rates.

“Too many Mississippi families are losing their babies before their first birthday,” said State Health Officer Dr. Dan Edney. “Every single infant loss represents a family devastated, a community impacted and a future cut short. We cannot and will not accept these numbers as our reality. Declaring this a public health emergency is more than a policy decision; it is an urgent commitment to save lives.”

MSDH is launching new strategies to improve maternal care, expand prenatal access, strengthen community programs, and educate families on safe sleep practices — all with one goal: to give every child the chance to live, thrive and celebrate their first birthday.
