When your baby is ready to come out, it will come, don't rush it.
But try lots of sex and lots of walking.
Get lots of rest!! You'll need it for the weeks following.

Hi. lots of sex, if you live near a hill go for walks up there or otherwise just a good walk every day, caster oil and juice, just a warning the caster oil does give some people the runs for the first couple of hours so it's best to stay at home or near a toilet. I had to use the caster oil a couple of times so if it doesn't work straight away just try again later.

I know you are anxious to have some relief but I would advise against doing anything to speed up your labor. Nature knows when your baby is ready to come. God forbid you rush things and something be wrong with your baby because of it. I know your uncomfortable but sacraficing your comfort for the well being of your child is what parenting is all about. Good luck and hang in there.

I know you're uncomfortable, but please do NOT try the hot bath thing. You could hurt your baby. A warm bath is fine, but not HOT. Sex does sometimes help the uterus to begin contracting, but when she's ready to come out, she'll come. If you go too long, the doc will probably induce labor, but not until he's certain both you and your baby are ready. Maybe she just LIKES it in there.

I know the feeling. I was so ready to have my son. I walked around walmart for 4 hours one night. It started contractions, but they weren't close enough together and steady. I say walk or have sex, if that is an option. Or just nipple stimulation. I had contractions for 2 weeks before I finally was induced 3 days after my due date and then he was born. Good luck with everything. one more thing, please do not try castor oil.

She's not ready!! But try cleaning the house,going for a walk and yes than sex. Hold your legs in the air for 20 min. after having intercourse this is spost to help the seamon eat away at that plug holding everything together. Also another way is going to a Christmas party out of town. Then she'll be ready. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Walking stairs, sex (gentle), nipple stimulation, these all can help but if this baby is staying put, there is a reason and for both the sake of you and your baby perhaps you should just kick back and try to relax and make the most of your peace and quite while it lasts :)

Awwh, I know how you feel. Been there! I tried papaya...nothing. Walking...nothing.
There is a restaurant here in ATL that has helped many women bring their labor on by eating eggplant parmasgna. Kid you not.
