  I think the self-induction techniques only work if your body is ready for labor and would have started anyway...

  But walking helps by gravity helping LO push on your cervix to get it started.

  Sex helps because of prostaglandins (sp) - it helps ripen the cervix. ?

  Spicy foods and Castor Oil supposedly help because it can cause your intestines to spasm and because of close proximity to your uterus, it can help contractions to start.

  Nipple Stimulation - sends oxytocin signals to possibly help contractions start. ?Pitiocin is the synthetic of oxytocin. ?Be careful though because it can cause painful contractions and lead you no where...?

  I think if you masturbate with a pineapple, the pineapple has chemicals that activate labor, and also the spiky parts can help to open your cervix and break your water.
