What can I do to go into labor, besides sex and walking?

Drink red rasberry tea, and take evening primrose oil..and WALK WALK WALK..I have a friend who swears by "curb walking" where you walk with one foot on the curb, and one on the street...worked for her!!!!

No matter what anyone tells you, it's bogus. You can not force your body to go into labor. With my first child I was dilated to a 2 for 3 months.

I think those two are the most effective. There are other things but I believe them to be old wives tales. I'll tell you what my doctor told me-he said "well it could be tomorrow and it could be weeks yet". For now just enjoy your uncomplicated life of not having that baby yet. Motherhood will come soon enough and then you will never have a moments rest. It's a total change of lifestyle-it's also not a bad change just to make myself clear. Good luck and congrats.

You can try castor oil. I tried that and all I did the in the middle of the night was throw it all up. It may work for you. The only thing that worked for me was Red Leaf Tea. I purchased it at Harry's( a farmers market). I used one bag that night. Nothing happened until the next morning when my water broke. You could ask your MD to strip your membranes too. But that didnt work for me.. I would suggest the Red Leaf Tea.

I understand that warm showers and birthing balls - in some cases both - will help.
Birthing balls are those big bouncy balls you see at the gym sometimes. You can just sit on that and roll around, and ... well, I'm a guy, so I don't know exactly how that helps, but according to the classes and videos I've taken and seen, it does.

A lot of sex and a lot of walking.
It really doesn't help though - although some swear by it.
Sounds like you are close hun!
Hang in there and try to enjoy the last few days/weeks!!!!
Believe it or not - you will miss being pregnant!

honestly after having 2 babies and knowing the "i want it out" feeling i know what your going through but at 39 weeks you could "pop" any day now.... take this last few days/weeks to relax and get your piece of mind... you will be so busy you don't know how you ever had time for yourself :)
Good luck, hoping you have a safe and smooth delivery :)

I think nature is just going to have to take its course - neither worked for me. Look at the positive side within the next 3 weeks you'll have you're baby in your arms definitely

Congrats to you, I know you cant wait to see the baby but just rest and take it easy!! Once the baby comes forget about doing that.
I wish you a healthy baby and easy labor.
