I agree with ~KISS~ sex will definitly induce labor. But be careful what you wish for.

get horizontal, romp around, do the mattress mambo!!!
Whatever you like to call it, just have sex! And then lay with the semen bathing your cervix (so stick a big pillow under your butt!) for at least 30mins so it softens it. Semen has the hormone oxytocin in it which is the same as the'gel' used in artificial induction. Its even better if you have sex every night when you go to bed so you get the effect all night (or until the 11pm, 2am and 4am peeing urges!!)
But best of all sex produces endorphins that relax you and make you sleep well too, him as well lol!
During the day keep active when possible, go for gentle walks and don't sloth around. This does not help labour start at all and only delays it. Same goes for when labour starts. The more active a labour, generally the easier it is on the woman.
Do not drink castor oil, eat curries or go four wheel driving. These will not help and will more than likely make you sick and give your diarrheoa.
But most of all keep relaxed and get some sleep when you feel tired as your going to need it!
Best of luck!

Try this it works a treat and NO it isnt dangerous i am a midwife and would never pass anything unsafe. i used this with my last baby and had him that night. 2 friends also used it and went into labour. It tastes foul but hold your nose lol
Labour milkshake
30 ml castor oil
1 raw egg
cup and half of milk
2 scoop icecream
some choc topping for flavour
wizz it in a blender just like a smoothie and drink fast. you can add less or jsut even a cup of milk. then have some really good sex to top it off, kinda like putting the cherry on top *wink*
try that good luck!
labour dust labour dust ***
Oh i forgot, you wont get the runs with this. it'll sure make you poop but not like you expect. IF you drink castor oil alone, it will creat havoc. Its the egg in there (prostoglandin) that binds the oil with it that makes you absorb it in a better way. dont drink castor oil ever on its own!

There are not really many safe things I know of except for these (and I am sorry if they seem a bit odd).
- drink Raspberry Leaf tea
- sexual intercourse
- nipple stimulation
- walking a lot, even with contractions, to further the dilation
When you walk, make sure to walk with someone and not too far from home or a car that can take you to the hospital. I've seen this one work quite fast!
Good luck!

Here's what worked for me....acupressure. Someone told me about it and I got an e-book online. It was really easy to learn and I went into labor 48 hours later.

Go for a Harley ride. Walk around all afternoon. Bonus if its a full moon!!! Worked for me! Labor started at 11pm, he was born just before 6am.
One of my friends tried the castor oil approach. It worked on her 1st kid, not on her 2nd.
Good luck!

Sex,sex and more sex. Lol... worked for me! You could also try walking or bouncing on a birthing ball, both have been known to start labor.
Good luck and congrats!!
