Does anyone know old wives tales to induce labor that actually work? The only thing I won't do is drink castor oil

    Sex.  Sex is the only one.  Unless, of course, you are me, then it doesn't work.  lol

    nothing works unless your body is ready....

    but,

    walking, sex, eating natural pineapple, bouncing on a labor ball, EPO (evening primrose oil), and ive heard oregano, or spicy food.

    None have worked for me...

    Oh and I heard there are some massage/acupressure points that can be done to induce labor.

    I've heard that eating grapes brings on labor.  Something about a chemical in the grapes that brings on labor.  It sounds kind of silly and is probably untrue, but I recommended grapes to a girlfriend who was past 40 weeks and about 20 hours after she ate those grapes, she had her daughter!  Coincidence?  Hmmm... Hmm

    I'm with the nothing. I've tried everything (save for castor oil, yick) and it hasn't done squat. If they're not ready they're not ready.
