Have sex, if you can stand it. If not try nipple stimulation or just WALK, WALK, WALK. I walked around Wal-Mart for 4 hours trying to go into labor.

Your body has it's own schedule and not one of these suggestions is proven in any way to help start birth any sooner than it will on it's own. The best thing to do is get rest now while you can. If you want to walk, drink castor oil, have sex and drink tea to try and start labor, then go ahead, it won't actually hurt anything but I doubt it will help either because I have tried them all and it is pure coincidence when you do go into labor after all of these things. Your body is not ready yet and when it is you will know it. Castor oil is disgusting. Sex is great. The tea tastes horrible and walking is always good exercise. I feel for you because I've had 6 babies but nature has more experience with this process than we do so let her do her job.

If you're cervix is already thinning out, try having sex. The prostagladins in sperm will induce labor only if the cervix is already effaced. 2 minutes after having sex with my husband, I went into hard labor with my second son. Before you even think about it castor oil and mineral oil will not work and will only put you at risk of dehydration. Waiting one more week is worth having a healthy baby over a risk one. I know you're dying with anticipation but you'll soon be rewarded with a wonderful baby in your arms. Enjoy the last week by using your time to make final preparations.

an orgasim or sperm will not put you into labor unluss you are right on the edge of it. people always say walk but no one i have ever know has said that has worked. i took castor oil. it only gave me quick runs to the bathroom! what worked for me is nipple stimulation but to do it by hand you would have to do it for ours. i used my breast pump for about twenty minutes and went into labor right away. but caution, they don't recomend it because it could bring on labor so hard that it stresses the baby. it didn't hurt mine and i was 2 weeks over and was desperate to try anything!

Long walks. Orgasms. These things can help. If this goes on for more than another week or so, you might want to just get the labor induced by a medical professional. They can do that by breaking your water, you know.

I feel you! It's rough...but there is an end in sight. Try walking a lot or even having sex. I don't think there is anything that will truly force you into labor but I think these things will def. help you along. Good luck!

My best friend told me to have sex doggie style (which I do not usually do) and I went into labor the next morning. Good luck and enjoy it!
