Nipple stimulation can cause labor to start. It releases oxytocin which is just like the drug pitocin but naturally produced in your brain. Walking as much as you can won't hurt either. Good luck!!

i just had a baby on 7/13/2007 and i was feeling the same way. let me just say that i thought of and almost came close to doing many things that i have heard of or either read online but the truth is the baby is going to come when he or she is ready. what i did have done was have my midwife strip my membranes. that is when they remove part of your mucas plug. it is a little uncomfortable but it worked for me. you can go in to labor up to two weeks after that. i went in exactly one week. i wouldn't have minded it being earlier but you should if anything get that done. my bottle of castor oil is still in the med cabinet because i read on line that it could possibly make the baby pass its meconium stool while still inside of you and they could choke. i was not about to let that happen. also i prepared myself for labor so it wouldn't be so hard and long. my boyfriend and i would have sex after a walk around the neighborhood like every other day. trust me it worked because when my contractions got like five minutes apart and i went to the hospital, i was six cm dilated already. good luck and i hope i get the best answer.

I don;t know if this was an old wives tale or not. But was told that having a hot curry helps induce labour. Also a good jog would help.
So you know what you got to do. Go for a quick jog to your local take away and order the hottest curry on the menu!!!
Good luck.

I'm in the same boat. Was due 7/28, now told 8/1. I've tried everything but so far no luck. If you find something that works, hit me up. Good Luck - I'm sending positive thoughts your way. (P.S. - I've been hiking and squatting - even though my knees are swollen, eating spicy foods, having sex, drinking Cumin tea, yet nothing has helped...I'm almost ready to try Castor Oil, but can't bring myself to swallowing it - yuck!)

you could try inducing at home.
i have took Castor oil the last 2 pregnancies and it worked.
buy a 2 once bottle and hold your nose..... and chug it all down and chase it with OJ. you have to drink it all. i know it taste bad . but you will waste your time if you dont drink it all.
you will be on the potty for a while. but with my first i had contractions with in 1 hour.. i was over due..... and my second it took about 4 hours. i was only 38 weeks. so it really works..
i am going to try the pressure points this time. i have already been trying them. they give contractions but don't bring on labor. when i get father along i will try them again.....
you could also try walking, sex and nipple stimulation. but i cant say they have worked for me....
good luck

i know what helped. Have sex and then lay completely still after (obviously have to perservere with missionary! I had already tried having sex, and it hadnt worked, but i had sex and then lay flat for an hour and a bit and 3 hours later my waters broke! Apparently it gives the sperm more oomph to break the seal!

With being your third I would not be surprised if you have it by Sunday. ( Also others being a little early)
And to top it off your sick of being pregnant.
Lol meaning your hormones are in gear.
Congrats hun it will be soon.
And yes it stinks having your due dates pushed back. I had mine put back 3 times....All i can say it UGGGGGGG

Go for a walk. But if you're like me and can't stand to be hot, go shopping in a nice cool mall. I went into labor in the mall. LOL!! Congratulations!
