If you are nearing your due date and your cervix is ripe, sex is the best thing for labor induction. You may also try nipple stimulation but don't do this too often as it can cause your uterus to get irritated and put stress on your unborn baby. Walking is great too. When you try sex, lay there for a little while before getting up and let the ejaculate lay against your cervix. This is a natural hormone that causes the cervix to begin to dilate triggering your uterus to contract. You may want to go for a walk after sex too.

You can try Evening Primrose Oil. You can insert it to the cervix and it is supposed to help in ripening. I used it the last few weeks of pregnancy :)
Most home remedies might work but not really guaranteed, since you have to be pretty close to labor anyway to work. Really walking and more activity is probably what will work best.

Hi,
I had the same problem. My midwife and gym trainer told me to go out and buy an exersise ball. They told me to put it on my back and them roll down to do squats. I also sat on the ball rolling it back and fourth. About 1 week later i was dialted and went into labor.

Go for a walk (in the evening if it's too hot during the day) and then go home and eat some spicy food. I recommend spicy fried chicken, that's what did it for me :) Good luck, and congrats

Try going for walks, i found light forms of exercise always sped up my labour, or try having a warm bath or shower, sometimes that helps too, take care and good luck!

sex and waling is your best non-medical things you can do but if you ask your doctor to strip your memberanes at your next check -up it could help i had mine done this last time and 6 hours later i started active labod and 5 hours later my son was born .... Good Luck

Nope the baby will come when he/she is ready believe me I know finally my Dr got tired of hearing about It and induced me.

My daughter was successful using hot showers and walking up and down the stairs.

it may sound funny, but play with your nipples off and on all day. It releases oxytocin, the same chemical they use to induce people.

Have your spouse/other really poke around with several fingers...force the his hands to try and loosen things up...our doc did that for my wife and bam...a day later she was in labor.
