Answer 1

Walk...and walk a lot. It sounds dumb, but it helped my wife a great deal. Go to the mall and do some shopping. keep your cell phone with you, and choose a mall near the hospital where you plan to have your baby. Good luck, and congratulations in advance!

Answer 2

I induced myself in labour at 39 weeks with my daughter on the advice from my midwives. First i took Oil of evening primrose capsules 1200mg a day for 2 weeks to ripen my cervix, had some sex also to ripen my cervix. Both semen and oil of evening primrose contain prostaglandins that ripen the cervix naturally. Then i ate fast food, and took 2 tsp castor oil to loosen my bowels early in the afternoon and man did that work!!!! Stay close to the bathroom if you try this!! Then i started taking Black cohosh drops mixed with water as per the instructions on the bottle. You can buy these at the health food store. Please dont over do it with these it can make for a very intense and painful labour if you take too much, that could stress the baby out. I started taking it every 15 minutes in the evening from about 5pm to 10pm and i felt my first contractions around midnight. I also stimulated my nipples several times over the evening(be careful cause this also causes intense contractions) I had steady but managable contractions all night. by 9am I was in hard labour but only for about 1/2 hour and delivered my daughter with ease.

Answer 3

walking helped I walked a mile and the next day I had my daughter. Also an old wives tale. Eat some thing spicy I did that also a couple of hours later I was in Labor. But walking does help things move along alot quicker.

Answer 4

you may want to attain 10 cm before the child comes. once you get to 6 cm then it is going swifter. i changed into dialated at a million cm for 40 8 hours. walking is continuously a tremendous component to attempt with someone by using your area. also having sex can help you. The substance of the ejaculation interior the vagina promotes exertions. good success and take care.

Answer 5

Buy a small bottle of Castor Oil and drink it. Best to have half an orange close by to bite in case you try to gag it. I just swallowed it and never had any problem. Used it twice. My Ob/Gyn told me it only works when you're ready to deliver. Works fast too. You'll have contractions in about 20 minutes to half an hour. Congratulations Mama!!!

Answer 6

If your water hasn't broken yet and you're not in horrible pain (full labor) there is no reason to rush off to the hospital, but stay moving, as soon as you get to the hospital you're done moving! And then they bring in the pitocin...inducing stuff, you don't want that!

Answer 7

I had sex at 38 weeks, 3 days and my daughter was born the next day.

Answer 8

There was a study done saying none of the "traditional" stuff (walking, exercise, spicy food, sex) can put you into labor. It just happens. Supposedly, castor oil works, but nobody knows how much, so they say don't do it.

Answer 9

Hi i was a week over due with my daughter and was trying everything. For me nothing worked i had to be induced but, these are things people told me would help.

having sex
drinking raspberry tea
running up stairs
jumping in place

good luck and congrats!

Answer 10

Please don't do the Castor oil thing or anything like that.Yes it works,but causes other side effects.Taking walks with someone with you is great,but a sure fire way to go into labor is to get on your hands and knees and wash the floor.If it doesn't work...lol.at least you get a really clean floor!Congrats and Good Luck!♥
