Walking is definitely one of the best things you can do. Castor oil is an old-fashioned remedy, but you would need to ask your doctor or midwife how much to take. But for many women it does NOT work and ends up giving them diarrhea, nausea and stomach cramps.
You can also take Red Raspberry Leaf tablets in conjunction with Evening Primrose Oil daily to help strengthen and tone the uterus for labor. It will also encourage you to have more Braxton-Hicks contractions which in turn dilate and efface the cervix.
Other methods are breast stimulation to produce the hormone oxytocin (by hand or with a pump), intercourse and eating very spicy foods.
I know how hard it is at the end! Hang in there and you will be holding your baby very soon.
All the best to you and baby!

The day before I went into labor I did swim aerobics, drank red raspberry leaf tea and did lots of squats!!!! But everyone is different sex did not work for me. But they say it's the sperm that induces the labor so if you have sex make sure that "it" happens.

If your body is not ready nothing will work you will just have to wait. But if your bag is bulging and he baby is in position you can reach up with your fingers and scrape your membranes that's the lining thats thinning out. midwives sometimes do that. worked wonders for me.

Unfortunately they don't work. First of all walking is good. I would go walking for like 2 miles and it didn't help. They said intimacy, again it didn't work.
I tried those two. :D
