really? Whats wrong with letting nature take its course? I know from experiance what the last few weeks are like & then to be overdue would be a pain but wouldnt you rather be uncomfortable for a while longer than risk anything happening to your baby? If the doctors see there is a serious need to induce you they will, otherwise, perhaps your baby isnt through "cooking" yet.

Nipple stimulation: Roll the ball of your nipples between your fingers. Do this for about an hour, taking a break of an hour between. Stop if things get too intense as it can bring on strong contractions
Sex: Semen contains prostaglandin which is the same hormone your body makes to ripen your cervix. Plus orgasm increases oxytocin which makes your uterus contract.
Go for a good long walk and then sit backwards on the toilet to put lots of pressure on your cervix and open your pelvis.
Remember to eat lightly and drink lots.
Make sure you get lots of rest too so that your body is relaxed enough to go into labour. Good luck :)

Relax, no amount of sex or walking will start labor if your bub is not ready to be born.
I know it is uncomfortable now, but within days or weeks you will be holding your precious newborn, enjoy the last few moment of being so connected to your little one, you will never be this close again.
Happy birthing

The sex thing didn't help me with my first one. On my second one though I was squating down talking to my daughter and my water broke (on April fools day no less).

sex, nipple stimulation, walking, enemas & castor oil, eating spicy foods,massage, and climbing stairs are all rumored to jump-start labor. They may or may not work for you.
Don't worry - your little baby will be here soon!

At home you can try sex, walking, nipple stimulation. Some doctors may strip the membrane of your cervix.
