I've heard of special pizza, eggplant parmigiana, and lemon cupcakes that are supposed to induce labor. A local hot dog place has claimed a woman went into labor after eating there.
I doubt any of this will work, but I'll take any excuse to have a food adventure. After I'm pregnant, no one is going to let me choose where to eat by default. I have to milk this while I still can!
I draw the line, however, at sticking any of these foods up my butt...
@lalala2004 from what I'm reading, you can pretty much kiss the idea of ever going into labor if you're not willing to put SOMETHING up your butt, whether it's a jalapeño or a cupcake or some glitter. Time to stop messing around and figure out what combo of things in your butt sends you into labor!
Lying on your back for 5 hours consecutively while garggling salt water prior to this has proven to be effective if done twice daily. According to the National Board of Medicine and USP, "literally dying" also is effective because they will have to immediately remove the baby. Another recommended regiment based on DFACs statistics....drugs. Edited: grammar was not sufficient

Stimulate your nipples starting now and don't stop until you hear the baby cry.
Have you read the Ina May Gaskin childbirth stories? In one an OB talks about walking in on a woman having her nipples sucked on by her husband and a family friend while she was pushing. I mean, I want my baby born, but not that badly...

I read that! And okay, I'll admit I'd probably be okay with my hubby doing that.....but a friend?!
I don't know what would be more disgusting, having a friend suck my nipple or sucking on a friend's nipple. Friends and nipples shouldn't mix.

I was so uncomfortable when I read that... But not as uncomfortable as the pictures of babies crowning and breastfeeding. Especially since I was reading it on the subway!!

The best was the picture of the baby that came out FACE FIRST. I was reading that book on a flight, and felt VERY uncomfortable when I flipped to that page.

I was prepared for the crowning photos, but when I read that some babies are born with their eyes open I lost it! Their little head between your legs just sitting there blinking. No way.
Can't stop laughing! LO is screaming at DH in the other room and I just needed a minute. Thank you ladies for giving me a laugh when it is needed most. Back to rescue DH...
