I am a week late and more than ready for this little guy to be born. I have taken long walks, stayed upright all day, eaten spicy foods and had sex but none of this seems to make any difference at all. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Amber is talking about Red Raspberry Leaf Tea. Traditional Medicinals make some that you can buy at the organic section of Kroger and at Whole Foods.

You have done it all!!! Your body will go when it is ready, it is what it was made for!
a friend of mine was two weeks late last september and her baby was an even 6 pounds and seemed to be at exactly 40 weeks gestation, just goes to show that those dates aren't always accurate.

I have been 2 weeks late and was not induced..better to let your body do it on it's own. I have also been induced with a different pregnancy...my labor was MUCH shorter with the one that I let my body do it on it's own! Hang in there....he's ALMOST here :)

They have some tea in the organics isle that is something "raspberry" it is for pregnant women, the longer you let it seep the better it is....

I tried everything too but they say the baby won't come out unless its ready. But I have heard that taking castor oil does work, but i haven't tried it cause i didn't wanna be sitting on the toilet all day lol but your baby will come out only when its ready to :) Good Luck!! :)
