I tried to eat pineapples (which I don't think did anything in the first place), walking a lot, and having sex. Nothing seems to work. I have about 9 more day till my due date, but I just can't wait any more. She is sitting on my tailbone adding more pain to my lower back. Please help.

Well there are a few things that might work. I tried all sorts of stuff but nothing worked for me until I had sex and had a pillow under my tailbone for like 30 mins so the sperm could eat away at my cervix. I went into labor that night. Other women have told me that fast pace walking works and squatting. With my second child I would squatt for like 15 mins at a time before showering. If you squat to where your bottom end is hanging right above the ground it opend your insides up and the gravitiy starts to work. But above all, your not gonna go into labor until God agrees its time :)
But with me, I found that squatting caused contractions that didnt last very long. So my own personal advice would be to exercise some, walk, squat at night, take a relaxing bath and get lots of sleep. When your body is relaxed and rested is when its gonna get to working, since your body knows what hard work is ahead when you go into labor.

I tried this once: Take a bath in Epson Salt, fill the tub, pour in the whole carton and sit in there for at least 30 minutes. But, do this at night after a day of lots of walking!! It seemed to work for me. I walked a long walk and at night did the bather, the next morning I stood up and my water started leaking out, it leaked all day and I went to the hospital with my contractions at 5 minutes apart at 7pm and my daughter was born at 11:07pm that same night! Of course it might have just been her time, I was 39 weeks to the day. So, good luck.

Walking will help. Try bowling. If the pain is too much, then you have to seek a medical way to induce labor. Don't try anything that will put your baby in danger. You are so close to the finish line mom. Good luck and all the best for the baby.

well where having sex to induce labor is great (the activity of it), the part of sex that REALLY brings on labor is the actual orgasm. so if you're faking it for your honey, STOP! make him take the time to bring you to climax, and if he can't then you should find a way yourself.
other than that, i can't think of anything, but unlike you i didn't have the luxury of carrying to term... all my kids were pre-term with very DIFFICULT pregnancies.
good luck!

intercourse, tremendously in case you orgasm. It facilitates set off uterine contractions and the prostaglandin in semen facilitates soften the cervix. Nipple stimulation with intercourse is much greater suitable. Acupressure factors to launch oxytocin are worth attempting besides, however you may desire to stimulate those for a protracted time. (examine YouTube for video clips or in basic terms Google "bring about hard artwork with acupressure.") save walking. in case you're actually not being forced into an induction, enable Nature take its path. you do no longer could desire to bypass into the well being middle till you're in hard artwork and you do no longer could desire to be precipitated except it truly is medically mandatory. in case you sense wonderful and your toddler isn't macrosomic, you may wait. 2d little ones exceptionally much constantly come swifter than your first. and finally--and that i % to propose this reluctantly--in case you're desperate, come across a midwife or naturopath who is conscious what herbs are maximum effectual in inducing hard artwork. those in many situations artwork very, o.k..

Prop a pillow under your butt and chill. Try not to go the bathroom alot, your water WILL break or you may leak from the pressure of urinating. Sex usually helps though, try a new position. :))

You can try any of the wives tales you want and you're just gonna end up frustrated and dissapointed....that baby's gonna come when he/she is ready. Be careful with some of them though...ie....drinking certain teas and the laxative stuff, these can cause harm to your baby.
Good Luck!!!
