Sexual intercourse - This works in two ways to induce labor. First, female orgasm can bring on contractions. Second, semen contains prostaglandins. Prostaglandins work to help ripe and soften the cervix.
Nipple stimulation - Stimulating the nipples triggers the production of natural oxytocin. Oxytocin contracts the uterus.
Accupressure - Accupressure may be helpful in inducing labor. Some pressure points you can try are the roof of your mouth, the webbing of your fingers between your pointer finger and thumb, and above the ankle about four fingerspaces above is a pressure point.
Raspberry Leaf Tea - Rasberry leaf tea is not actually known for it's labor inducing properties, but it is believed to be helpful in toning the uterus and helping with labor.
Cinnamin stick tea - Take cinnamin sticks and boil them into a tea and drink. It actually tastes good so even if it doesn't bring on labor it may help you to relax.
Evening primrose oil - Evening primrose oil comes in small capsules similar to vitamin E. It is believed to help soften and ripen the cervix.
Walking - Walking may help to get baby to drop into proper position.
Visualization/relaxation - Relaxation can help with labor induction. Try doing relaxation exercisers. They are also good practice for when labor actually begins.
Pineapple, cumin tea, eggplant parmesan, and spicy foods - are another thing you can try.
Other methods we do not recommend for inducing labor
Castor oil - Castor oil is also used for inducing labor. It tastes horrible! It is likely to make you feel sick and it probably won't work.
Herbs - There are other herbs you can use to induce labor. Without consulting your doctor or midwife we do not recommend the use of herbs.

On a funny-side: A little boy asked his mom why his new little sister was taking so long at coming out. Mom said "I don't know, it's been 9 months." the little boy said, "I've got the solution, Mom... let's just steam her out!" Exact pregnancy duration has always been a mystery, especially if you don't know the actual date of conception. Trying to induce labor is really not a good idea unless your doctor has given you the "HOW-TO's" so, don't even try it. Be safe with the future of your unborn baby!

With two of my three kids I put castor oil in lemonade and went into labor within hours. I only took about 2 tablespoons full and mixed with a glass of lemonade and went for a walk. With the first one I did it at like 8pm and woke up at 5am in labor and my water broke. With my second one I did it about 2pm took a walk and then a nap and woke up in labor about 7pm.
If it had only happened once I would have thought it was a coincidence but since it worked twice I think there is something to it.

r u excited to have this baby i take it!? I wouldn't do anything. The best thing to do is wait. I know nobody that likes to wait, but if you do try to do things to make you go in labor, there might be complications. i had a few friends that tried everything they could and they ended up having complications. if you really want to know, talk to your doctor about it.
Good luck!!!!!!!!

i'm optimistic human beings will think of this is very unusual, yet i such as you replaced into wanting to get issues began! i attempted each and every thing without success (such with the aid of fact the curry) and then I examine that nipple tweaking works! i be attentive to this sounds so extraordinary yet i attempted it (i ought to have looked somewhat unusual sitting gazing This Morning!) yet after approximately 10 minutes i felt a contraction and my waters broke after an hour!

Walking, spicy foods, and the best of all have sex try to orgasm and this will definitely bring on the labour.
Best of luck honey.

just wait and let the baby come naturally. what if your due date is off? not even ultra sounds are 100%. babies lungs are the last organ to develop, and too early can cause problems. that baby will let you know when he/she is ready to come out.
