DON'T INGEST ANYTHING!!! Yes, walking and sex are the best things. Whatever you do, don't try castor oil! You will be beyond miserable. If the baby is not ready to come out, nothing will work. If it is, some rough sex and walking will help labor along.

Besides the ideas mentioned ( oil, sex, walking)... you can try fresh pineapple and Evening Primrose oil.
The Evening Primrose oil comes in capsules. You just puncture one end with a needle and place it as close to your cervix as you can... you can also take them orally. Many Midwives recomend this method. It takes a week or so though.
My bag of waters broke after walking around work for 8 hours... I had gotten home ate pineapple, went to bed and what do you know... to make the story that much more ironic... it was a full moon !!!

I think there's an old wives tale about drinking castor oil or something, but that is not recommended. It could make you sick.
You should just let nature take its course. I know you may be feeling really big and miserable right now, and antsy to have this baby, but when it's ready to come out, he or she will let you know.

I drank Rosehip tea, it is a good one for you too, but has been used by many that i know for labour, when waiting for it to begin, and during, i drank it with my boys when i was leading up to and in labour, and i had my boys within 1 1/2 hours each everytime i arrived at the hospital (but we are all different). I also did alot of walking and gentle excersize as well as a good bonk if you are in the mood :)

Sounds dangerous....having sex and lots of walking are tried and true methods that my sister in-law recommends and she is the mother of nine.

don't ever drink and drive and don't ever drink and be pregnant!
Seriously there are other ways to induse labor.
Don't make your kid brain damaged or give them birth defects.
It's bad and the doctors and nurses will know and then you will have to talk to the police.
Some people have very short labors.
You sicken me.
Put the kid up for adoption.
