I ate spicy foods, taco bell to be exact. We went for a long walk...which really got things moving. And sex...every night. :D
Please don't do the castor oil thing, do you really wanna be having the runs and labor pains at the same time? My doc said that it's really not a good idea for you or the baby.

Physical exercise, like walking - or even sex- is the best way and probably what you doctor will tell you to try. I've triggered labor with my first 3 kids on my own by walking. And yes, I did try the castor oil in orange juice (BLECH!!!!) but cannot confirm if it did work or was just coincidence. But there is NO 100% effective way for you to start labor on your own. The baby wil come when it's ready.
If you are past your due date or terribley uncomfortable, you might talk to your doctor about inducing labor. Mine did, and my healthy baby boy was born May 10 this year - right on his due date! Good luck and congrats!!

I watched The Money Pit and laughed so hard I went into labor 3 weeks early. Really!
What does your doctor say? They have ways to induce you.

If you are to full term you can try pushing lightly/gently on the upper part of your belly downwards if the baby is head down.
Walking wasn't enough for me I had to walk up and down stairs. I did this and pushing very very lightly on my tummy for about 4 hours and went into labour.
What I would say works is ;
1)excesses
a)Sex is suppose to be a good one.
b)walking
c)swimming
These are all low impact and are suppose to help!
2)Eating spicy foods
3)Warm baths I heard also helps! Helps to relax you which in turn can start labour
4)Taking a bumpy car ride I heard also helps
Good Luck!!!

There is an acupressure point on your lower leg about 4 inches up above your ankle bone on the inside. It is to induce labor. Get an acupressure or even acupunture practitioner to do them for you.

You are almost there, the last 2 weeks feel longer than the whole nine months!
Let mother nature take its course, I know it is tough but put your mind on something else if you can
