Just wait until the baby is ready to come out.

Man some of these suggestions are off beat.. I especially like the guy who's like "be sure to have an orgasm" Dude if you were 9+ months pregnant and miserable would you be able to get off that easy?!? prolly not.. anyway I digress
Don't try Castor oil it is not safe at all and will just give you the runs. Sex will help but only cuz sperm attacks your cervix. Walking just keeps your legs strong for when you do go into labor. After labor starts walking will improve the effectiveness of your contractions and help you dilate.
The only natural way I have heard is to drink raspberry tea, or eat raspberry jam, or just eat a raspberry.. Something in the fruit seeds induces the chemical to start labor. (I am not sure this is true though I'm going to try it tonight I'll let you know).
Other than that all we can do is just wait.. and wait...and wait.. I know it sucks..
GOOD LUCK!

alot of the suggestions are old wives tales so be careful. Sexual stimulation can give you contractions which may or may not put you into labor unless you're going to anyway naturally, but if you are comfortable enough you could try it. If you drink "oil" specifically castor oil, you will definitely get the runs and be crampy but most likely not go into labor, andif you do , it will be a labor- with-diarreah that will be messy and more painful so I wouldn't if I were you. Try not to think about it and dont wear yourself out trying to walk/jump/bump/squat/whatever yourself into labor, it will come when ready or your midwife/Dr will induce you. good luck

I really had had enough with my second baby so I went for a long 4wd and then came home to half a bottle of castor oil and OJ and I went into labour straight away. Castor oil is like a liquid laxative and the cramping in your bowel is meant to start your contractions. It might not work for everyone, and it can be very aggressive, but it did work for me. They also say sex because of a natural chemical in sperm(but I also heard it is better to drink it) I guess it depends on how desperate you are.

When her doctor really believes that she is full term there are all kinds of medical approaches that will start labor. Hang in there until the kid is really ready.

There are a few herbs that will stimulate labor, as well as acupuncture points. Stress will tend to delay labor. Walking can sometimes stimulate it. Chemicals in semen can also start labor.

I have actually heard that sex can help. My doctor told me that there is something in a male's sperm that can assist with indicuing labor. But the fact is, when baby is ready, baby will come! Congratulations!
