Rasberry leaf tea will not induce labor. It is actually encouraged that you drink it your entire pregnancy because it has things in it that help to "tone" your uterus therefor making labor shorter.
I took Black Cohosh and went into labor very shortly after.
I also do not suggest castor oil, it gives you diariaha and the bowl contractions cand SOMETIMES trigger labor contractions. You would be better off with the sex. There are actually chemicals in semen that can help soften your cervix and the contractions from your orgasam are just as likely to trigger labor contractions!

sex,sex,sex; the protein in sperm is a natural labor inducer. Increase your walking. Take hot showers and warm baths, this relaxes you and sometimes just having your body be totally relaxed is enough to snd you into labor. All these are things that I have personally seen work; however, there are pregnancies that do not naturally happen on there own and may require some medical assistance.

Time..the most important. Your first childusually takes longer...its a lot of work to get your cervix ready and to begin the dilation process.
You can walk, eat and rest well now. Avoid castor oil or anything that makes you have the runs...you'll regret it if you go into labor...messy.
Drink a lot of water.
Sex can also have an affect..but not necessarily the one you want.

Inducing on your own is not a good idea. You are almost at the end of this long journey so please wait until labor starts on its own. When the baby is ready, contractions will start and your baby will be here before you know it.
Good luck!

sex, walking, do squats (it helps encourage the cervix to open) i do pregnancy yoga and already feel like my baby wants to fall out, (35 weeks and 3 days along now)
take nice relaxing bath, light candles and get a nice back massage, things that will help you relax and more you relax the easier it is for your body to do its job
congrats and good luck :)
don't take castor oil, it is a laxative and most women just say it gave them really bad diarrhea

Why not wait for baby to decide it's ready? You've still got 3 weeks before you're considered "past due".
