Would like to go into labor the beginning of the week or they will break my water for me, and induce me farther if things don't progress naturally, which I did'nt have for my first one and don't want for this one. I have been working non-stop and my job is physical (CNA) and so far nothing! My first one came fine and I did'nt have this, I had her 1 week early. Anyone find anything that helped them go into labor?

Yes my doctor made me walk around the hospital over and over it will help you dilate when you walk. Having sex helps. Doing excersises helps. If you have other kids chasing them around all day help

Well in the old days, the women would use "Cod-Liver Oil" but, I dont know how safe it is. I had my youngest son late., and I was desperate like you, to have him! In fact, my son liked being in the oven, so much, he wouldn't turn, for 11 hours, then on the 12 hour he finally turned with a little help from the nurses, otherwise he'd of been breech, and I'd of probably had to have a c-section. However, your doing all the right things, exercise, is so healthy for you and your baby. Plus its suppose to make the whole delivery much easier. Just what ever you do dont poke anything around.. Not that you would but I've heard of women trying to break their own water, and thats so dangerous! So, either "Cod liver oil", or just be a little more patient. Because, I asked my doctor, to enduce my labor, because my Mom came in, from out of state, and had to go back, home, to take care of her yards. And I was afraid to have the baby without some sort of moral support, so I asked him to enduce, what a mistake that was! I had thee most painful delivery, of them all (I have 4 kids). And I wouldn't recommend this procedure, to anyone, unless, there's Medical reasons, that they have to enduce, for. Otherwise, I'd just let Nature do its thing, and just ask God for "Patience" and have your baby, the way God intended you too. If you do the Cod liver oil, ask around before doing it,,to see how safe it is first. You dont want anything to harm you, or your baby. Good-Luck, and Congratulations! Enjoy, your soon to be, "Little Bundle of Joy!" Smile, he/she, will be here before you know it !!

I am 40 weeks today and I can't make myself go into labor. I have tried castor oil 4 times and walking. Try sex. I know how you feel.

Lots of sex. Plain and simple, and it worked for number 2. Also take time off from work, relax. The stress in your life and do a number on you and the baby.
And lots, LOTS of sex. Even if it does not work, the time will go by faster, and more enjoyable.

Semen is one of the best things for softening the cervix. Have your husband ejaculate inside of you as often as possible and that should speed things up. You may also want to enlist the help of a couple of your husbads buddies since one guy can only produce so much. Just think of it as them trying to help alleviate your medical condition, no different than donating blood or bone marrow really.

My friend went into labor on her own doing squats. Basically you squat until you feel pressure from the baby's head and then you push down. That helps dilate and efface the cervix. Good luck.
