Pittocin (sp?).
People say Raspberry leaf tea, but that's pretty much a myth. Take a walk, that'll work. Unless you're on bedrest.

Castor oil but there is not scientific proof it induces labor only anecdotal evidence. It's a laxative but the digestive tract and the reproductive system are not connected although they are close in proximity. It will probably just make you have a big bm and get stomach cramps. It can also make the baby pass meconium inutero and that is not good. You can try doing squats to help dilate your cervix. Best of luck.

They say sex can induce labor (saw this in a few places online). I'm sure your hubbie wouldn't mind lol.
Raspberry leaf tea is actually good for milk production (used this with my horses when they were under producing).
I'm sure it's uncomfortable, but your body knows when the time is just right. Good luck!

people will tell you castor oil, i wouldnt go near the stuff, it can cause upset stomach, which makes you have pain, and women actually confuse them for labour pains, my sister tried this and was seriosly sick, got dyhdrated and was in hospital longer for this than she was because of the birth, which happened 2 weeks later! but in saying that, some women may have had success,another one is raspberry leaf tea, this doesnt bring on contractions, it just strengthens the uterus to get it ready for labour, i would personally just let it happen naturally, all the best!

Much more fun ... have an orgasm. It's common knowledge in a number of societies less prudish than our own, and it makes sense when you think about it.
