Don't try to self induce unless your doctor recommends it. I am a labor and delivery nurse, and have many cases where women tried to self induce and made themselves very ill, and in some cases, put their babies into distress and ended up needing c-sections.
It's ok to have sex, but don't expect that it will necessarily send you into labor. If you body isn't ready, sex won't work.
It doesn't matter if castor oil or any other method worked for other people - the risks are too great to you and your baby. Do you really want to play the odds with something this important? Your body will go into labor when it is ready, and if not, then your doctor/midwife will decide on the best way to induce you - under close supervision in a safe, controlled environment.

relax!! don't try to induce your labor I know you are ready but just let it happen please do not try Castor oil or anything else its dangerous to the baby, it could cause them to poop in their amniotic fluid,my doctors cautioned me severly against this.... not to mention you will be pooping your brains out...no matter how many people tell you its not.. sex might help walking helps but relaxing and letting it happen is always the best bet!!

Have sex, it will help trust me. I had my daughter within 5 hours after having it.
If you can't do that... I don't know I just know it worked for me so maybe it will work for you.

Caster Oil!!! It really does work! I used it with my 3rd child and went into labor within 2 hours of taking it. It tastes gross and if your body isn't ready for labor..it will give you the runs. I took 2-3 tablespoons of it all at once and it worked for me. That was the only thing that worked...some will say have sex, others will say to eat spicey foods. one of those worked for me...not to say that they wont work for you!!
