walk, sex, spicy food, prayer :D
Unfortunately while there are a lot of natural ways to get labor moving they don't all work for everyone. Something that has worked for someone else may not work for you and a few of them are actually dangerous.
Taking castor oil just causes a lot of women to run to the bathroom. Taking blue/black Cohosh can cause severe bleeding after delivery. I wouldn't suggest either for those reasons.
I know how you feel, I'm due in 9 days and dying to not be pregnant anymore, but babies come when they are ready unless the doctor will intervene first.

$ex could help, but if you don't want all that jarring around do it by yourself. The contractions that the Org. brings on are contractions of the uterus. Try to get some raspberry leave tea. not raspberry tea, there is a big difference. there is a like below of other things that you can try also. good luck, I am 38 weeks also. Just trying to wait for school finals to get over this week first. congrats!

I worked in an ob/gyne office the Nurse Practioner and Doc usually had a few suggestions to get things moving. One, as horrible as it may be, is to have sex. Secondly, stimulating the nipples causes a hormone to be released that stimulates an induction of labor. Third, ingestion of some karo syrup. Good luck and happy laboring.

I wouldn't do anything but be ready to go to the hospital. At almost 4 cm, that baby will come very quickly once you go into labor.
Best of luck!

walking lots of walking if the contractions are regular between 5 and 10 minutes apart and getting stronger call the doc and head to the hospital you are almost half way there

Well.. You should be ready to go to the hospital anytime now. I was 4 cm when they took me to the delivery room. Just prepare yourself. Fill your bathtub with warm water and sit for an hour or so. and walk. it all helps. try drinking cinnamon.(not too much though) I felt little contractions after i drank it.

I know this is probably the last thing on your mind but I heard sex helps move things along. Not just sex an orgasm. so how ever you need to do it it is worth a try.

jsut be on your toes. as soon as your contractions start your labor could go veryvery quickly since you are already dilated to 4 cm

There are hormones in your husbands sperm that bring on labor. It's not YOUR orgasm, although that doesn't hurt because it's contacting your uterus when you orgasm, but your HUSBAND'S sperm that may bring on your labor. Good Luck and Have Fun!
