To be honest, nothing homeopathic is likely to work unless your body is good and ready to have the baby. (Not to mention some of them taste quick yucky.) Your best bet is to do some walking and hang in there - don't rush things unless it's medically necessary because you'll be at higher risk for a c-section and long labor. Best of luck and I hope your labor goes well when it finally starts!

No, it does not induce labor. Raspberry leaf tea is known to increase uterine tone among other things. The vitamin C in the tea also strengthens the bag of waters so it doesn't break prematurely.

There are lots of articles online about raspberry leaf tea, some say yes, some say no. I started drinking it at 37 weeks w/ my first baby, had him at 37w6d. With my 2nd I started drinking it at 36 weeks and had him at 36w5d. I thought that it helped, but then during my 2nd labor, they discovered baby was butt first, not head first. I had an emergency Csection where they discovered my uterus to be small and heart-shaped. They said this is the cause that I can't carry full term. So now I am not really sure. Either way...I liked the tea and drinking it starting at 36 or 37 weeks can't really hurt anything! :)

Don't know about raspberry leaf tea; but there IS a chemical in romaine lettuce that can induce labor.
Eat lots of Caesar salad...

No, it supplies nutrients that are good for toning the uterus, but it doesn't induce labor.
