Sex is good, pineapple is said to give off hormones that can start labour. However when I was overdue I tried teh pineapple and all i got was a sore and raw toungue.
Black/blue cohosh is also said to help as is respberry leaf teaf.
Please do not try castor oil, it also passes to baby, baby can get diareeaha in the womb and aspriate.

Have the doctor strip your membranes (if you are indeed ready to deliver...if not, just wait a little longer...:))...My sister had her membranes stripped 6 days before her due date, and the next morning, at 8 am, her daughter was out and getting swaddled up!! :)
Doesn't work as fast for everyone, but hey...it's a safe way to do it.
Don't do anything like castor oil...blecch. The only guarantee from that is that you'll have horrendous diarrhea.

Majority of the time they will tell you to walk it out and continue to be active, then the next thing will be active labor.....

im really surprised/weary that your doctor gave you the OK to try and start labor on your own but didnt giev you any advice, or tell you what NOT to do...if i were you, and he was serious than ask him/her! i know how you feel, im already 5 days overdue.................

Unless you have a health concern as a justified reason to have a baby three weeks early, you're doctor is a quack and shouldnt be in practice.

sex...tried that, didn't work (funny as hell too)
nipple stimulation...they were so oversensitive just made me want to cry
home-remedy tea...just made me vomit
walking....nothing
what worked (at 17 days past my due date!!!!) was crying to my doctor at 1am on a saturday night...had a c-section the next morning
good luck to you! it WILL be here before you know it

Good luck. I tried everything with my first and she ended getting induced. My second came 3 days early on the day I was going to get induced anyway.

no matter your doctors approval, if your baby is not ready to greet the world yet, don't rush it, you could do more harm then good.
