I have constant pain with my contractions and my doctor won tprescribe me anything. I am dilated to a 2, and have been this way for almost 5 weeks now. I am 38 weeks along and I wanted to know if there is a quick way to naturally induce labor. I have tried walking, castor oil,sex,and nipple stimulation. Nothing is working. please any suggestions would help.

That sucks, but I hate to tell you that the pain is going to be a heck of a lot worse in active labour. Just deal with it, you don't have much time left... as far as inducing labour, it will happen when it happens. I know, the last week of pregnancy is really crappy, you are tired, in pain and just want it OUT! Hang in there and this will all soon be forgotten! Try swimming to releave some of the weight/pressure on your body. I always felt so much better after a swim. Good luck.
And for pete's sake... don't buy any pain killers off the weirdo above....they can't even spell! Plus it might not be safe for you or your baby!

Just use this time to practice your breathing. When the contraction starts, take a deep cleansing breath and release; then breathe in deeply and do a "hee-hee-hee-haw" breath out and repeat until the contraction stops. Check out the link for "Breathing Techniques for First-Stage Labor" below.
There is no sure fire way to induce labor without the doctor doing it manually. You're just going to have to breathe and remember that this is your body's way to prepare you and itself for what's to come. Congratulations on the baby!

Have you tried sky diving? Or perhaps some bull riding? Also you might check out cartwheels. A trampoline might help.
If you think you have pain dilated to a 2 wait'll you get to 10.....heh heh
(Nipple stimulation? Geesh........)
