Getting into a hot bath can stop or slow your labor if you are not in "active" labor already.
The nipple stimulation - can cause your uterus to contract, but rarely works. There are also pressure points on the Big toe and in the hand "web" but they can be hard to find.

A hot bath (not too hot) can help relax the muscles and make labor feel better but doesn't actually help get it started. Sex is one of the best ways to get labor started. As for nipple stimulation, you have to simulate breastfeeding, about 10-15 minutes on each nipple with a couple of hours between. 12+ times in a day might do it, good luck

The hot bath is a bad idea, it raises your body temp too much which in turn is not good for the baby. I don't know about the nipple stimulation though. I have heard walking helps.

your not supossed to get in really hot water and i haven't heard of that inducing labor anyway. nipple stimulation can cause strong contractions, but not necessarily labor. your shouldn't do it unless you discuss it with your doc.
my ob offered to induce me, a week before my due date. if you're that ancy and uncomfortable, call and ask. at least that way you know you're being safe. the worst they'll say is no.

Do not do the hot bath, it could put your baby in distress.
