I am 39 weeks pregnant and my doctor told me that on friday if i was 2 cm then she could induce labor for me, well I am not there yet, its not friday yet but i prolly wont be there by then is there a way that anyone knows that works to induce labor at home without getting sick/hurting the baby?? I am ready to have her and would love to have some good ideas.

its an old wives tale that a really really hot relaxing bath will throw you into labor, they say its because it the last time you can relax and the baby will know it and come out and make your life a lot of work lol.. and ironically it worked for both my daughter and my son, i gave birth with 36 hours both times...

Well, I've tried the sex, castor oil, spicy food, driving over railroad tracks, etc.
The only thing that even remotely seemed to work is this...there are 2 spots on your legs that if you rub, allegedly help contractions along. One is to rub the spots on your ankles, right under the ankle bone where it's 'indented'. The other is a little more tricky to find. On the inside of your calves, about 6 or 7 inches above your ankle, where your calf starts to curve inward, there's a spot that you can rub. If you know a masseuse or someone who gives pedicures for a living, ask them where it is.
Good luck to you and best wishes for Baby!!!

Sex and walking, but if the baby's not ready to come out htere is nothing you can do. MY last child I was schedualed for an induction (showed no signs of going into labor) the day before my induction I ending up going into labor.
