Natural ways to induce labor

has anyone heard of the aloe Vera drink to naturally induce labor?
I bought some faraon aloe Vera drink from walmart and was trying to figure out how much I actually had to drink to bring on contractions... And if anyone had any other suggestions. I am 39 weeks

    I'm now 40w2d and just ready for this baby to be out so I'm going to do an acupuncture session with my naturopathic doctor on Tuesday.  Hopefully it will get things started!

    Personally for me all im good with to try to induce is walking, sex, and bouncing on the exercise ball. (Possibly a membrane sweep if I face induction Thursday.)

    Walk, sex, bouncing on the ball, chasing a toddler (if you have one available...hehe). 
    Mom of one toddler boy, with another BOY on the way. Life is exciting traveling being active duty & a wife. 

    Sometimes I vlog on     YouTube. Check out my channel here!

    My doctor said if baby isn't ready nothing will work but if the baby is about ready then walking and sex might help.

    This is exactly what my doctor said, too.

    He also said walking and sex help make labor easier in many cases. I've been walking a lot, I've become bffs with my exercise ball and now DH thinks I'm trying to "seduce" him every night. Even if these things don't jumpstart labor, they're keeping me occupied and making the time pass by more quickly,

    I started giving DH a BJ last night and stopped in the middle and let him know he could f*** me, take care of himself, or suffer. Guess who got hers last night?! :D
    Haha. Sounds like me the past few weeks. DH usually has the hormones of a teenage boy but, ever since my doctor said he could feel LO's head, he's been scared and has needed a little more convincing.

    I've been doing as per pps above.

    My midwife recommended an acupuncturist who i went to yesterday morning. Not in labour (only 39+4 though) but it has helped with constipation, sleep and a bit with back pain so I'm glad i went!!

    Midwife also recommended clary sage oil rubbed on stomach (2 drops of the oil to 10ml of carrier oil - i use coconut oil) so I've been doing that too. I also burn it with lavender and put it in my daily bath with lavender to relax.

    To be honest I've actually found nipple stimulation to be pretty effective at creating contractions. Hubby started doing them as a joke the other night (stimulate couple of minutes, wait for contraction, wait few minutes then repeat). It was actually giving me good strong braxtons...but he fell asleep into the fourth round... :-w

    But clearly if baby ain't ready, baby ain't ready! At least the things being done aren't of any harm to baby and are generally otherwise beneficial in other ways. Exercise, intimacy, relaxation, regular bowel movements, sleep... just as important as ever!

    Is there a reason you are wanting to try so soon? Like do you face an early induction or something? I personally wasn't comfortable with trying anything until I hit 40 weeks and it's just been walking, sex, exercise ball, and a massage.

    I'm bouncing on a ball right now- mainly because it's the only time I don't feel like I've been hit in the crotch with a mallet- and now I want some pineapple, hold the sex.

    I had acupuncture Saturday and Sunday and my water broke Monday. Though I had other signs prior and my cervix was stretched the previous Thursday.
