OK -- I am 38 weeks, dialated to 2, 60% effaced and baby's in posistion 0. This is baby #5 and I am MISERABLE. Any unique (and safe) ways of getting labor started...
I know all the "traditional" ways and have tried those, except for castor oil which I will never try. I need something original that will work.

well i dont think you sound quit ready, you can lose your mucous plug weeks before your ready, and you can be dilated for weeks. just walk a lot. i mean for like hours! maybe even go dancing. but really if your not even showing pre labor signs, no matter what you do you will probably no have the baby in the next 24 hours... most labors have at least 24 hours of contactions (tho they are not as painful in early labor) i mean some women have weirdly fast labors but i wouldnt risk it, not at 37 weeks. your baby will come when shes ready, there really isnt much you can do. and if you have to force her that isnt good for the baby. i say just weight. you might even have another month (sorry!)

Nipple stimulation can put you into labor..seriously give that one a try. It goes hand in hand with the more traditional answer, having intercourse. I know your miserable but the end is in sight! Maybe instead of focusing on how to go into labor, you should just put your feet up and try to relax. Good luck!

Black cohash and blue cohash are both herbs that are used frequently by many midwives to induce labor naturally. Just run out to the local 24 hour pharmacy and pick some up. If you can't find them, Dong Quai (Chinese Angelica) can also be used. Good luck. :)

Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk!! When I was pregnant I sat on here looking for ways to induce my own labor. I did try the castor oil and was stuck in the bathroom for quite a few hours with no success of delivering my baby!! LOL Walking does help though. Good luck!!!! Bless you and the little one!!

Castor oil is it unfortunately. However, if you hold your nose, you will not taste it. Wash it down with juice.
Cannot taste without smell.
But be careful and always check with the doctor before doing anything!

Sex.
Castor Oil.
Nipple Stimulation.
It could be soon, or not at all soon.
I was 3cm, 100% effaced for THREE WEEKS before finally giving birth.
