Well just like everyone has said, sex , it could be helpful in bringing on the contractions.. but my doctor recommended going to a park or walking trail and just walking , for hours.. do some deep breathing and of course rest when needed. It might not happen immediately while walking , but soon after you'll probably go into labor. Take a shower and then head to a hospital.. Why don't you have a doctor? Good Luck , and best wishes for a healthy babe. :)

Yeah, I've been there! My daughter,s Dr. told her to walk and walk, like around the block. Not real far from home, but walk. I was going to suggest "Castor Oil". some women say it doesn't work, but the women in MY family say it does. But DON'T take castor oil, I just heard that it affects the baby, (I didn't hear WHAT it does.) but they didn't know that back then. Another country tale is to go riding on bumpy roads. but my daughter and I both did that, and it didn't work for either of us, it just made our bellys hurt! LOL! If you are way over due, like 2 weeks or more, then the hospital just don't want to deal with you because you don't have a doctor, and they don't want to accept the risks if something is wrong. Relax, it's not, I'm just sayin' that's how hospitals are. (My mom never went to a doctor when she was pregnate with me, and when she went in to deliver, the Doctor walked away, and I was delivered by an intern.) I do know how you feel though, I felt that way with my last one. Just keep going to the hospital, keep buggin' them, they will eventually do something, induce you or c-section, especially if you are well overdue. But try to keep yourself calm and relaxed, being stressed isn't good for you or the baby. Good luck, sweetie, everything will be okay. God bless, and Congratulations. I just read that one girls answer, and had to come back and edit.... NO! NO!! NO!!! DO NOT DRINK "CASTRO OIL", THAT IS FOR CARS! ....AND I ALREADY WARNED YOU THAT "CASTOR OIL" IS HARMFUL TO YOUR BABY SOME HOW, BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW IT BACK THEN!!!! But yeah, I forgot that simple tip, have sex! If all the tightening activity doesn't help you start labor, at least maybe you'll be relaxed and calmer! (And hopefully had a good time!)

My sister went over by a week and got sick of the "When he is ready, he will come out" line she got from almost everyone. What worked for her was she got one of those exercise ball things you sit on at WalMart (Think hers was pill shaped) and straddled it and sat in front of the television. By the end of the Super Bowl and a lot of bouncing, bingo, the baby dropped enough to break her water and at 1:30 am (just a few hours later) out came baby. Don’t know if that helps any.

Go to the hospital, don't worry about what they will do or say. It's your body and your child and you shouldn't feel about about worrying about you and your child. Oh, and don't belive everything people tell you either. You should have a doctor. Who has been looking after you during your pregnancy? Hope everything works out well for you and you have your baby soon.

I know it's easier said than done, but just be patient! My first son was more than a month over due. It was hell but he eventually came on his own time! Good Luck!
P.S.
If you have a partner, sex works! There is a chemical in his sperm that can induce labor! I can't remember what its called but it's true. Told by my doctor!

due dates can be off up to two weeks. if you are over two weeks over due call a doctor. Why dont you have one? They will probly induce labor. being very overdue can harm the baby, not to mention extra stress for you.

I was actually told that sprem will cause your sac to thin and make your water break.(this was by my doctor) So maybe try that, but really you should have a doctor while you're pregnant. I've heard of people drinking castro oil too.(I think I spelled that right)

Try eating VERY spicy food, than walk awhile and if not try having sex. Also if you press on the back of your ankles, or lower back this should help enduce labor. Good Luck.
