when you figure it out let me know, I'm due this week! Sex, nipple stimulation, castor oil, raspberry leaf tea, lots of walking, primrose oil and black cohort have been said to induce labor. None have worked for me though maybe you will have better luck. ↑

Denise is right except the castor oil you don't want to do this. Only as a last resort. Castor oil is an intervention that can have a bad out come I know I used it. ↑

I took castor oil with my first pregnancy because I was a week late. I went into labor 3 hours later, but it was awful....I started having contractions every 3 minutes and it gives you the runs (sorry, but its true) I wouldnt recomennd castor oil, its worth it to just wait for when the baby is ready. If you are really anxious, maybe ask your doctor to induce you. ↑

castor oil isn't supposed to give you the runs if you walk for a few hours non stop!! ann i dunno if you walked or not but i now a lot of people that didn't walk and got the runs;...and on the other hand the people that walked didn't......i'm askin b/c a lot of people don't know your supposed to walk with it...i don't mean 20 min i mean like 2 or 3 hours straight ↑

I am due on the 21st. Well thats my midwifes date. My ultra sound date is today. I am not sure which to go by. I cannot wait. The excitement of being pregnant is over and my 4year old and hubbie are all ready. Unfortunately She is not. My baby was breech and they did an exterior version in the hospital 2 weeks ago. I have been dialated to 3cin since then. My phone has been ringing off the hook. (is it time yet). All research I have done says 24hours to 2 weeks. Grrrr. I have been cramping for the last three days but I dont want to get exciteted because thats what I did when I found out I was dialated. I just want someone to say oh ya you have less then two days left.Not to mention feeling very un sexy right now but haveing sex anywayse to induce labor. Any feedback??? ↑
