oh i dunno - i have heard that watching glastonbury will bring on labor? if you cant get there in real life watch it on telly. one thing to do is put botox on your lips and then wear a blue hat. look on asos.com for some stuff! apart from that i heard that wearing your bra inside out will bring on labor but not sure thats true really.

Red Raspberry Leaf will not cause you to go into labor. Midwives recommend it because it helps tone the uterus for labor and minimize bleeding after delivery. If you want to take it for those reasons, the recommended dosage is:
Tablets - Take two 300mg or 400mg tablets with each meal (three times a day) from 32 weeks.
Teabags - 3rd trimester - up to 4 to 5 teabag cups throughout the day.
Maybe you could try taking a vigorous walk every day or eat some really spicy food. Hope your baby comes very soon!

Raspberry leaf tea strengthens your uterus. It isn't supposed to bring on labor as many people say. If you do the research this is what it says. Check out the website below for some advice.

Lol taking anything to break water, put yourself in labor can cause more harm than good. I went 41 weeks with my last two pregnancy's and had to be induced. They should not let you go 42 weeks.The best thing to do is wait it out, and get ready for your trip to the hospital.. You will have your bundle of joy very soon.
Good Luck

you can stop taking them. my sister in law tried this and she only went into labor with the help of a scheduled induction 1 week after her due date

You should have talked to your OB/GYN before you started taking them to see if it's even safe to take it while pregnant.
