With my first child I went a week over and then was induced the labor was very hard and long. My cervix is ripening and I am dialating but the contractions aren't coming and the father works out of town and will only be here til the 9th so they are going to induce on the 8th. Due to the length and how hard the labor with my first induction was I'd really like to go into labor before then . Any ideas.

You can take walks and have sex to help stimulate contractions. Both of them are supposed to be helpful.
In my case all of my children were extremely stubborn and I always ended up being induced. I got to the point when I went into labor with my fourth one that I begged to be induced so I didn't have to suffer through hours of labor without any success but they didn't listen until I would have at least 8 hours or so of labor. With my last two kids I only had to push for 5 minutes or less because the pain was so intense and I just wanted them out!
I think ultimately it depends upon how much pitocin your body produces to help your uterus have stronger and more helpful contractions.
Good luck!

Do not do as someone suggested and drink mineral oil. It will cause you to get diarrhea and if you do end up in labor your baby can get an infection. I tried it when I was pregnant and the results were horrible. Do as everyone else advised and walk walk walk and have lots of sex.

U can do squats and sit that way for a bit it puts pressure on the cervix from the weight of the baby. Walking can also help!

Walk, sex or herbs. I was induced also but my labor was short and this was my first child. But it all depends on the baby when they want to come.

I am having the same problem I am due tomorrow and I have been having sex and walking, nipple stimulation gets contraction going but you got to do it for a couple of hours a day but my contractions just go away. they have been striping my membranes every other day for over a week and that is barely working for me. my induction day is the 11th if he doesn't come on his own. Hope he comes on his own! Good luck and congrats!

Well as long as you know your water hasnt torn, then I suggest sex and niple stimulation... Orgasm can get contactions going, and semen to soften the cervix more. Also niple stimulation can help with contractions, same principal of after you have a kid and they feed you have small contractions. It's worth a try right?! Good luck and I wish that everything go's great!

Jump up and down or go on power walks. It usually works.

my daughter was 5 days late, the doctor told me to eat spicy foods, walk a lot, and do easy exercises.
