Nothing works hun. I tried it all when I was pregnant. Just be patient and relax as much as you can. You don't have much longer. If you want to try though, I would suggest sex, nipple stimulation, and spicy food. Even if it doesn't work at least you get good food and some "time" with your man. Good luck!

I took caster oil (a home health remedy). My mother says its just a wives tail, but I did it with both of my boys and delivered within 2 days, my second I was 37 1/2 weeks just like you.....try it. Caster oil is all natural and is a remedy for constipation, so its job is to make your intestines contract to have a BM, but it also makes your uterus contract (because its a muscle as well).

There are many "myths" about this. Your could try nipple stimulation, it worked for my sister-in-law. I believe that she did it for about 30 mins and it started her contractions, but she had to keep doing it. She said it hurts so be prepared for very sore nipples, and it's not a sure thing. I have also heard of having sex, not like you feel like doing it. and I have also heard of caster oil (drinking it) but that's gross and i am not sure how safe it is either. I would wait for the safety of the child though. If something went wrong, you would feel so guilty and responsible. Be patient, I know it's hard. i have had 3 of my own. Good luck.

My midwife told me to do nipple massage, I had my daughter 6 hours later. I just sat in the shower with warm water running over my nipples. That signals your body to create is own oxytosin, which in turn makes your uterus contract. Worked for me. :)

I swear I willed myself to go into labor. I told my body that I was in charge, and I was done with this pregnancy thing, and I wanted to go into labor by midnight, and I was in the hospital in labor by 9pm. that was at 38 weeks exactly (new years eve).

You should wait a little longer, but if you are at 39-40 have sex. Semen breaks down your plug and nipple stim can work.
