DONT DO CASTOR OIL, unless you want abdominal cramping and the runs sorry but its true...it only creats the illusion of going into labor because of all that...wifes tale...lots of sex and lots of walking and a possible pre-natal massage...and yes playing with your nipples helps too, but dont ever attempt this early on you should not rub or pretty much do anything to your nipples until you are at least 37+ weeks...my daughter was 3 weeks overdue, so i asked LOTS of Questions and read just about everything there is to read about trying to go into labor...

This is gross, but I learned in Nursing school that there is a chemical in Semen that helps to soften and dilate the cervix....so have lots of great sex!

I wouldnt try the castor oil. I read its not good for your kidneys or something. With my first pregnancy sex worked. With the second baby it just put me in the hospital with bad contractions and no baby like EMY said. I believe the baby will come when its ready no matter what.

Keeping in mind that it will ONLY work if you body is ready to be induced ~ Sex and things that allow gravity to assist will help better then anything ~ so sex as often as you can, walking often and squats to help open your pelvis. The added key in sex is also to make your uterous contract so nipple stiumulation and the big O :)

We tried sex and all it did was put me in the hospital with severe pain and contractions...no baby. Ended up getting induced 2 weeks later. I truly believe the baby is going to come when he/she is ready!

Well, I wasn`t trying to induce myself, but I do believe I caused my water to break early at 38 wks. I picked up one of my kindergarten students and the next day I had a leak of fluids. That caused me to go into labor. At 38 wks though, I was happy, but I wouldn`t recommend lifting something too heavy during pregnancy. It was a dumb thing to do!

i went walking, and found that to be the easiest way for me. my husband didnt feel comfortable with me going walking around our neighborhood in case (unlikely:D) i went into a very fast labor and couldn`t get home! so i walked round and round our yard for 45 mins-yes the neighbors must have thought i was crazy-but i didnt care, because it worked!

The hottest curry you can stand, freash pineapple as much as you can eat throughout the day, lots of sex, walk as long as you can and something to make your bowels open, i used all of these, my waters broke with my 3rd baby but i had to be indused 2 day later, they worked with my first baby, also i had a pint of cider while i had contractions every 15 min and that got things going faster and had my baby 12.30 the next day. Good luck to you.

I used Sex,walking and nipple stimulation..The nipple stimulation is what brought on my contractions,but you have to keep it up if it doesn`t work right away/...
