What else can I do to make this baby come??

I know, I know, nature will take it's course...but, do you have any new ideas?

I've tried:

spicy food, raspberry leaf tea (as a uterine tonic, for the past month), sex, a ride on a bumpy road, licorice, pineapple...And now, I'll try just about anything else that you can think of to not be induced... TIA for your suggestions!

    pineapple, long walks, find pressure points in a foot massage (that's for your DH to do for you!).

    What worked for me was my sister telling me not to go into labor that night - my water broke 5 hours later ...

    My grandma absolutely insists that getting down on your hands and knees to mop the kitchen floor once you are due will bring it on...hahaha, I just want to know if having DH do it will bring the same results?

    haha, my DH would totally fall for that too, he's so anxious to meet her he would do it! (after 37 of course)

    I know two people that got on a elliptical for an hour a day for a couple of days. Within 2-3 days they were in labor.

    Make reservations for a nice dinner or something. 

    Get a prenatal massage, they know the pressure points to help bring on labor.

    My first time, scheduling an induction and sobbing about it, eating Chipotle and walking the mall for 3 hours did a good bit of work for me! I went into labor that night.

    Castor oil.....

    This is a hypnosis track ($15) that is supposed to work very well:

    Also, accupuncture or accupressure can work wonders.

    Good luck!!!!

    pull up the you tube videos for "accupressure to induce labor", go to a chinese buffet (something about all the MSG's), nipple stimulation, bounce on a yoga ball, more sex.

    That's all I can think of for now. GL!

    lots of cleaning... the bending and moving part of nesting always gives me contractions, and Im not even close to go time yet. And jump your husband as many times as he will let you. Your O will bring on contractions and his little swimmers help too.

     Also, I was 2 weeks overdue with DS and had to be induced, so I just wanted to say Im sorry, and send some labor dust your way!

    Castor oil is unsafe.

    With my first, I walked a bunch and cleaned my room, then went into labor that night. But really, it's all coincidence.

    I feel for you. Hopefully any hour now.
