I've had friends either swim, walk, or have sex.
Worked every time!
Good luck! :)

My massage therapist said that mint or anything menthol induces labor.
At about 6 months, bath and body went on sale and I bought some rosemary mint shower gel, a few days later I was having some contractions but did not pay attention. The following weekend I went for my massage and my therapist gave me this info. Shortly before I gave birth, I was going for weekly massages with mint in it. She also said that rubbing the back of the neck and the calves causes the uterus to contract and gently encourages labor.
One thing I can tell you though, that baby will come out when it wants to. After having preterm labor, I had 2 false alarms until my son came out at 38 weeks.

Orgasm during sex can cause contractons and increase dilation. I don't know that sperm has anything to do with it. I've never heard that. It is best to wait, though. If it goes on like this, your Dr. will induce labor in the hospital. That is the safest way to do it. You should wait.

that is very dangerous to do on your own but if you are atheletic sometimes it starts with exercise or after you have sex with your husband or boyfriend. so try having sex otherwise your body will go into labour soon enough if you are two weeks past due talk to your doctor about your concerns and he can set up a date to induce labor and help you deliver. as after 2 weeks the placenta starts to shut down and dry up.and the baby will have problems.

I induced labor with my daughter. I had sex with my husband and walked up and down a steep hill a few times. My cousin induced her labor (she was 3 wks overdue) by drinking some castor oil. But it's very dangerous and could have bad results with your baby.

Sex really will help. That is one of the reasons why if people are having trouble when they are in early pregnancy they are told to not have sex until the spotting stops. The sperm and its fluid help soften the cervix..... good luck. DO NOT DO ANY HEAVY EXERCISE!!!! Go for a walk. It might help.

You can't really induce labor on your own , but if you have sex with your husband there is something in the seman that starts labor...good luck

Sex. A mans sperm helps. Seriously. Ask your doctor.

Sex is one of the best ways. Try walking also.
