All you have to do is a lot of walking. Depending on the weather you can either walk outside, or if its cold keep going up and down stairs. I promise you if you do this your contractions will start coming. My baby was born in FEB so I walked up and down the stairs for hours and the next morning my contractions started

i know when i had my daughter i was like 37 weeks and just couldn't take it anymore. her feet where up in my ribs and i barely slept for more than 3 hours at a time for the last month or so of my pregnancy. i kind of induced my own labor and i was so happy i did too. here is how i did it, i had my daughter on a wednesday and starting trying to induce on a monday morning when i had barely slept the night before. i read a lot of articles on the internet that gave me safe ways to try to induce naturally. one was to eat lots of spicy foods cause if it makes you poop then you abdominal area will contract and push on the baby, also have lots of sex cause when you orgasm that will do the same type of thing. on monday night i started having contractions about 5 - 7 minutes apart. then they stopped. so tuesday i went and walked around the two different malls which took almost all day long and then ate more spicy foods and had sex that night as well. by 6:15 wednesday morning my water broke and my little girl was on her way. i hope if you use any of these methods that they help you as well. good luck and enjoy the new baby!

You can have sex, eat spicy food, or walk on a curb. You place one foot on the curb and then the other foot goes all the way to the ground so that you are rocking the baby back and forth over the cervix and this makes your body think that the baby is ready and can make you go into labor. You could take castrol oil but when I did it made me sick to my stomach and when I went to the hospital they broke my water and I ended up having to have a c-section.

You may not be able to do anything to help your water break but you can do a few things to help your contractions start. You can be in active labor without your water breaking and sometimes your water may have to be broken later. To help start contractions you can drink Raspberry Leaf Tea. Exercise and intercourse can also help. Exercise naturally helps and intercourse stimulates the uterus.
These tips may help, but overall a baby is ready when it's ready. But, some of these have helped others. Hope it helps.

Your water really doesnt have anything to do with labor. You can have your water broken a week before and nothing will happen other than causing serious germ risk to you and the baby. Having sex inserts a hormone that will get the contractions going.

It's not just the sex that is important, having an orgasm is important as that helps to release oxytocin which will cause contractions. You can also stimulate your breasts by expressing colostrum as this also causes the release of oxytocin. Lots of walking can help as well.
My Mother said in the 'older' days women often took castor oil as it would stimulate your intestines and can irritate the uterous. But I don't think that is a good idea.

The best thing to do is to wait until the baby is ready. But walking works well along with sex. Also i heard that spicy foods help as well

unfortunately your water may not break until the drs do it for you... thats what happened to me! I was 5 days over due...sex, walking, food, nipple stimulation, nothing worked except an emergancy induction! Sorry! That baby is going to come when he/she is good and ready... or the drs thing shes ready or needs to come out.
