DO NOT DRINK CASTER OIL!! It is not healthy for you or your baby. It's an old wives tale. Yes, sex and walking can help, also get a pedicure and let them massage your pressure points in your ankles, it helps induce labor. Also, start your breathing exercises, that helps getting the process started. If your baby is being really restless and you are in a bit more pain than normal it probably means that he/she is on his/her way out. If your Dr really wants to wait, then you can always tell him that you don't want to. He can induce, but it's not worth it. The extra week you are pregnant will be less painful than being induced. Things will be fine. Good Luck!

I am past my due date too. I was suppose to have this baby on tuesday... I feel the same way. I am ready to get this baby out. I have tried nipple stimulation, walking ( just went yesterday again ) , doctor has stripped my membranes twice now. I have nothing. Im at 3cm and all the way thinned out. She told me 48 hours I would have it and still nothing. I just have tried stuff too... Im scared to try castor oil because I dont want to have problems while in labor if it does work. How embarrassing. Well to me at least. Just wanted to share my personal experience. But I totally feel you on this one! If you want contact me.

I tried EVERYTHING!!! We walked, had sex, drank those nasty caster oil milkshakes, did jumping jacks and squats, bought baby balm and rubbed on my belly, nipple stimulation, you name it, I tried it. I was still a month overdue! The doctor had to induce me and after 26 hours of labor I had a c-section. When the doctor saw how big my baby was (10 lbs 4 oz) he said "oh, wow if I knew I would have given you a c-section a month ago"!!! My son had some pretty serious problems because he was so overdue. I urge you to please go back to your doctors and tell him you aren't leaving that hospital unless you are holding your baby in your arms!!! Good luck!

Caster Oil worked for me, I've had 3 kids and used it for every one...worked 3X's anyway.
I did get scared after using it the 1st time and phoned dr, he just said if the baby is in position it'll help it along...if not, you'll just get a bad case a' da' chits.

hey dont forse your self to have the baby let her/him come out on its own if u try something at home you could hurt your baby and im sure you really dont want to do that so please listen to your doctor your doctor knows what he/she is doing so just go with the flow ok and congrads and i hope the best for you just please dont try anything at home and plus it must not be quite time for the baby to be born or the doctor would have said so i can not have kids but i have always been told to never try any home remedies cause it could cause a birth defect

My friends Doc told her to use Evening Primrose pills. you can get them at any health food store. You are suppose to poke a couple of holes in the capsules and stick it in your vagina. It worked for her. She went into labor the next day.
