I thought lavender oil not good in pregnancy I just remember it on How clean is your house with that Kim and Aggie one of people doing house was pregnant and they said dangerous as could seep through skin and go to placenta so hadto seek advice from doctor.
Raspberry leaf tea you can buy in tablet form now bit late for you this info but can be used from 36weeks

No, lavenders properties include sedative, painkilling, anti septic and anti depressant effects , its also good for burns and chest probs..I've never heard of it being used to encourage labour though.

Lavender wouldn't on its own. Try clary sage and rosemary, drop a few drops on a tissue and inhale or use in oil burner or the bath.

I would avoid it in any more than small amounts. The chemicals in lavender oil (yes, they are chemicals even though they are produced by the plant) are irritant and could cause complications if you have too much of them.

Not heard of that one!
Raspberry leaf tea is meant to help, tastes disgusting though. You can get it in most health food shops.

cleaning my entire apartment all at once (never doing any real heavy labor) and eating a big bowl of popcorn did it for me...i wasn't trying to bring on labor, tho'...it just happened.

No. It's relaxing though.
Lots of sex might help. Semen ripens the cervix and orgasm can bring on contractions.
Walking can help bring baby down farther into your pelvis and put more pressure on your cervix.
