Natural ways to induce labour????

CswaileCswaile
in 3rd Trimester

So i had to get switched to a new dr and i met him yesterday and by far he is the one i feel most comfortable with outa the 4 i have had. He does alot more then the other dr's ive seen, my other dr's didnt do internals at all and never guessed the weight or length and only gave me an ultra sound at 20 weeks thats it. yesterday he told me wat he thinks the weight is all that and next week i get my first internal he changed my due date to the 25th of dec not the 1st of jan. (thats wat the ultra sound said) And he also said he is good with me having the baby any day now. I am so uncomfortable and yesterday the baby started to drop and my feet have swollen to the extent of not having ankles anymore, he said this is all signs that im close. So im totaly game for ways to induce labour on my own?? Do you ladies have any ways you have heard of? I wanta kick start this process so i can meet my son

    Our childbirth class instructor told us she's had a few ladies induce by massaging acupressure points. You could probably google them.

    Like my doctor said, if there was one surefire way to induce labor, no one would ever be late.  Here's some things you can try: evening primrose oil, spicy food, lots of walking, sex, acupressure/acupuncture, pineapple.  I have tried it all but pineapple and I'm still here.  So hopefully you have better luck than I do!

    As far as pineapple, the way I understand it is you would have to devour an entire truckload.

    Ultimately...if your body is not ready...none of these "natural" ways are likely to work.
