Does anybody know of any old wives tales about labor that actually worked? I've walked my butt off and had sex. Castor oil is a no- go as well...

What about eating spicy food. I went into labor 3 hours I had a spicy chicken salad from Applebees. It had salsa and guacamole. My friend went into labor the same night she had spicy tacos.

Good luck. I have been walking the past week. I have went from 1cm dilated 2 weeks ago to 2 last week and 3 this week. I have had sex only once because it hurts. I just ate some curry chicken I am hoping that this will work. But I would really hate to throw it up when I am in labor lol.
Also I have been soaking in the tub for about thirty minutes a night for the past week. My son has a four wheeler I am tempted to ride it.

Sex is the best option, however for it to work according to the tale, you must climax. The orgasm stimulates the uterus to contract which will hopefully get labor going.

I think everyone is different, your dy will do it when its ready however my childbirth instructor swears by nipple stimulation. try it, cant hurt unless your too early
