tips to help induce labor?

I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow. Baby girl is stationed at +2 and I've had the worst pressure and tingling feeling down below. I'm 2 cm and 80 percent effaced with bulging membranes. Any tips to help with inducing labor? My doctor said he'd be surprised if i made it till next week and that was a week ago tomorrow. Help!

    My doctor said to make love, the semen helps induce. Also eat red things? Which is strange, not sure if these work. I am 38 weeks as well and ready to get this baby out of me! Lol. Good luck.

    I've heard pitocin works wonders ...


    For real though, sounds like your body is doing the job on its own & baby will come fairly soon. I'd just do lots of walking, pelvic circles on a yoga ball, maybe sex... None of it is guaranteed to help but can't really hurt.

    No nothing works!! I'm currently 39+4 and have tried everything besides castor oil.. Please do not try the castor oil trick. It's dangerous.
    Bubs will be here when they are ready!
    Some things to try are;
    Sex
    Walking
    Eating spicy food
    Bumpy car rides
    Pineapple
    Bouncing on a exercise ball
    Rocking in a rocking chair
    Nipple simulation
    Painting your toe nails
    Moving some funtuire
    Cleaning
    Dancing...anything active really!
    Raspberry tea leaf
    Acupuncture
    Blowing up some balloons
    Herbal remedies
    Acupressure
    Orgasm
    Evening primrose oil
    Eat date fruit
    That's all I can think off at this time.. Have a search on Google or check the search bar below and type "induction" it will bring up old posts that may have some other tips.
    Good luck!!!

    Please just let the baby come when he/she is ready. You could technically have another month to go. I know you're uncomfortable but a few more days or weeks could be the best thing for your baby and save your child a trip to the NICU.

    there is no magic answer to this question. i feel like every time it's asked someone will say something and it'll be some bolt of lightening, miraculous answer... But there isn't one. You've made it 38 weeks, you have 2 weeks or so tops left. The baby absolutely will come out and soon!
