I know exactly how you feel. You are at the end and it feels as though you will be pregnant forever. While it is best to let nature take it's course, there are a few things to give nature a little "nudge". First and foremost, go for a walk. Walk, walk, walk. And walk some more. Not only will this help with going into labor, it will make your delivery easier. Second, having sex can trigger uterine contractions. The more you enjoy it (if you catch my drift) helps even more. Just please do not try the castor oil method. It is SOOOOO not worth it. I tried it and aside from the horrid taste and texture (think melted vaseline) I woke up about 2 hours later and ended up on the floor of the bathroom with the worst cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea you could ever imagine! I believe the devil himself made castor oil. Just hang in there...it won't be much longer, I promise. Take care.

I will give you the suggestions that everyone gave me. Walk- a lot. And have sex. Forget the castor oil, that is disgusting!!

Well I walked around dialated to a four for about a month before my twins came. Why would you want to want bring on labor though? Wouldn't you want your baby to stay in your womb where its getting its nutrients and everything it needs until it naturally happens? Well to each their own. Good Luck.
