You can try nipple stimulation. Bottom line baby is going to come when baby is good and ready. The important thing is to bring a healthy baby home.

Speaking from experience- I was 8 days late and NOTHING helped. However, from my knowledge- things like spicy foods, castrol oil, and moving furniture are all myths. Having COMPLETED intercourse, however, I have heard may work. Semen contains the hormone "oxytocin" which is often used in hospitals to induce labor. I am not sure in it would be enough oxytocin but its worth the uncomfortable try!!

The Best way to bring on Labor is by doing alot of walking, or you can try having sex...

I am 19 days away and i am already thinking of ways to start it ........i was going to say sex. other than that i plan to do some walking........i think it will come out when its ready though. Fortunately my Dr said he wont let me go past my due date as i have a big bub apparently.
Part of me thinks - enjoy the peace and quiet while you still can.

They can give you pitocin, but that will make your contractions REALLY STRONG.
Just wait, at least you are already dialated. The baby will come out when it's good and ready. Just try to visualize your cervix opening up and the baby coming out.

I have heard that nipple stimulation can help as can foot massages. I honestly don't know besides going into the hospital and seeing if they will give you some pitson to bring on labor.

There is nothing really you can do.. I tried everything also and the thing that put me into labor is when I went to my doctors and she checked me.. Maybe the next time you go to the doctors that will do the trick. goood luck

When my sister was pregnant with her last daughter she drank a table spoon of caster oil. She went into labor that night. It's not harmful at all it just acts as a laxative. In my opinion very affective to induce labor. Just doesn't taste too good. Good luck.

My midwife stripped my membranes at a 4pm appointment. I went into labor at 11:30 that night.....but many say that does not work.......it did for me though.......
