Ive never done it, but my friend did on her due date and she had her baby on her due date. The doctors told her orgasms and nipple stimulation make u contract. The nipple stimulation worked for her!

This is NOT medical advice! Not at all.
When my wife was pregnant with our son (out last child) 29 years ago, we had a country dr. who told us to have really good sex and then go out on this old bumpy road and drive about 50 for a few miles. She went into labor the next day.
it wasn't an easy birth, because he was so big, but labor did start.
it could be coincidence, who knows, but that is what happened.
Every pregancy and person is different so DO NOT TRY THIS w/o first asking your DR. if it is OK.
Oh! she was 2-3 weeks overdue at that time.
Best of luck!

Blue kohosh (liquid form) is what I used to induce my labor-I was 40 1/2 weeks along. I put 4 drops in a shot glass with luke warm water and drank that every half hour for 4 hours. If you don't feel anything(I didn't) you should put a dropper full under your tongue and keep in there for 45 seconds if you can. I started this process at 8:30am and my water broke at 10:30pm. Good luck and congrats on new baby!!!

I was at 39 weeks, we had taco bell with hot sauce for lunch. Then I went walking and contractions starting coming!
Also, me and my husband had sex a lot and I did a lot of squats at work- I was working in a dr's office with files.

With my 3 kids...I was 12 days over, 8 days over, and 4 days over. NONE of it worked for me...lol...with the first one I was walking miles and stomping my feet even...and then having sex and all that stuff...she came when she was ready. I tried the sex with the others...it never worked.

Nope...none of the wives-tales worked for me.. Walking did help with dialation but no labor from any of the suggestions.

Sex and lots of walking. I think it ultimately depends on if you body is ready. Be patient, you don't want to rush anything and harm the baby.

I don't think anything works. When the baby is ready that's when it will come

no, they dont. dont waste your time. I tried walking, sex, drinking castor oil, and countless other things. she ended up coming on her own time.
