I don’t want to hear any rants about safety or about how the baby will come when it’s ready, etc. How can I induce my own labor??? I’ve heard of castor oil, sex, walking, spicy food, and stripping membranes… what else is there?? Pleeeeease help!

Does walking really induce labor…or does it merely speed things up if you are already in labor?

If walking does indeed induce labor, how much did you walk before you went into labor?

How can i naturally induce labour other than sex and nipple stimulation. I have tried both of them and we are still waiting?

I know people say this is selfish but I am 5 day’s past due. How long until it works and how much do you take? I can’t sit up without someones help I can’t go another week. All of the other way’s they say helps induce labor has not worked for me. This worked for my mom’s friend…….

ok im 3 days away from my due date and at my last appt i was not dilated but she did say i was thinning out, does this mean i will more than likely go past my date? also i have not lost my mucus plug to my knowledge ( i heard you may not know when you do) and sex inducing labor, any thoughts?

Does any body know the affects of the continued use of pitocin after several generations?
Thank you ladies for all the wonderful answers. This question was asked in order to provoke thought and hopefully persuade a few pregnant women to research thier options before they are placed in an unfamiliar room with a hurried doctor and a nurse who are making all of the decisions for you while you are in pain.
