Honestly, I can give you a couple of sites that have natural ways to induce labor. However, I lost my mucus plug about two weeks ago, tried all of them, and am STILL waiting on him to come out. So I just wanted to warn you that it may or may not work. I hope it does for you!
Best of Luck!!!!
This site has all of the same tips you've read and where the pressure points are, I couldn't find mine.

A friend told me to stand with your legs spread a bit apart and sway your hips back and forth to help open the cervix. I don't know it there's any truth to this. But I did it when I was starting labor, and it was relaxing anyway. Oh, and something maybe a little less appealing....have sex! The prostaglandins in semen can help soften the cervix. In fact, one of the ways OB's induce labor is to apply a prostaglandin gel to the cervix. Might as well try it the natural way at home! :o)

yes semen is supposed to help thin the cervix, walking will help the baby drop, spicy foods supposedly help some women begin labor, also there are pressure points in your ankles that can trigger labor (that is what worked for me with my son)-a nice foot massage can do the trick.
Good luck and congratulations

Natural Inducers will only work if you are in actual labor or if it is time to have the baby. You body knows :)

You probably don't want to hear it but it's sex. It gets labor going. Something about the sperm thining the cervix. Walking helps too.

hi there they say sex,, spicy food, stimulation of the breast, so many things but i personally don`t think it works i think baby is ready when ready,, you must be careful not to get infection if your waters break , i had 6 and nothing helped and i tried lots ,, but everyone is different,i think best to let nature take its course as you don`t want to distress the baby too.. good luck not long now hopefully

My husband and I had sex and afterwards he massaged my cervix with his fingers. Not pushing on my cervix just massaging and wouldn't you know about an hour later I was in the hospital giving birth!

Things that helped my friend were long fast walks and sex. Good luck
