Basically nothing will throw your body into labour if it isn't doing so on its own. Sex, walks, tea leaf, cohash etc. Though all these methods MAY help accelarate labor - once onset has already begun, they can not fake your body into labor. Research has shown that it's a coincidence that people go into labor after using these "methods." Ex. having tons of sex at 32 weeks won't throw you into labor - thus why your doctor doesn't tell you to stop having sex while pregnant. Otherwise we would all be told to abstain for 9 months.

i started drinking blue and black cohosh tea several days before my due date. i als took a 4 mile walk 2 days before my due date. the night i went into labor i was eating thai SPICY curry, so i believe it might have been this combo that pushed me into labor. my labor lasted less than 3 hours. i do think the cohosh had an effect on everything. luckily the baby was healthy, but i don't know if i'd use it again. i also drank LOTS of raspberry leaf tea during pregnancy and esp. the last week. good luck!
