Sex is what made my daughter come 2 weeks early. It was Father's day and we did it in the morning and I had inconsistent contractions all day... I was totally ready for her to come so we did it again in the evening and I was calling the midwife by 10PM.



Good Luck:)

Im not sure never tried it, but someone I know used castor oil.

I did that three times and still nothing and i have never gone near any thing oily since nd i feel sick jus thinking about it but if u want to try it u use 60mls castor oil 20 mls orange juice and a teaspoon of bicarb soda its yucky but 3 people told me it work make sur u use the bicarb it stops u being sick from the castor oil

Raspberry leaf tea and lots of long walks and sex!

Sex. there's something in the semen that stimulates something or another and get the process moving along.  Anyway, that's what my doctor told me!

sorry its cod liver oil just checked with a friend its meant to work.

Belinda - posted on 04/01/2009

the best thing to bring on labour is castor fish oil.. if u can stomach it, it will bring labour on. its worked for all my friends i didnt have to use it coz i went early but give it a go and see how u go.. usualy get it from a chemist.

As a labor/delivery nurse, cranberry tea enemas,  sex sperm helps to bring on contractions, walking, have dr strip membranes if you dilated little bit

I had that greasy stuff is it cod liver oil with first, Had contractions then they stopped, baby came on his own at 2 weeks late!! 3rd baby i bathed in special oils recomended by my midwife friend, and i know sounds grosse but while in bath i gave myself a stretch & sweep!! You know fingers round neck of cervix and i did sweep!! I had a show, Nothing happened, i did this when i was full term, I was induced a week later!! Hope you've had baby now, would love to hear, Good luck if not xx

I don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but I had a massage in the morning and a few hours later I was in labour.  Maybe coincidence, maybe not.  Good luck! :)

Tomorrow will be my sons 3 week birthday and he was also two weeks late. I tried everything mentioned on here, walking, sex, hot food, soaking my feet in hot water with cheyenne pepper in it, raspberry leaf tea, and what ended up working for me was Blue Cohosh. Its a liquid tincture completely natural that induces labor. I drank one dropper full around 3pm on Wednesday and by 2:40AM I went into labor and he was born 3 hours later. Also, I drank a strong mix of the red raspberry leaf tea (1oz. of tea to 2 cups of really hot water) and after about 10 minutes my contractions were easy and he came out very quickly! I hope something helps you and that your staying comfortable! Congrats on your second baby!

There's now way to know what really helped and what was just coincidence.  I did the spicy foods, walking, sex, rocking in a rocking chair, bouncing on a yoga ball...and my water broke when I went to bed that night.  I don't necessarily believe that any one thing (or even a combination) made it happen, the only thing I know is that I was exhausted from the exertion and I never got to go to bed!  I think my labor would have gone much smoother if I had just rested and let things happen on their own!

Walk, walk, walk...(until u cant walk nomore)...Or if ur not up to that...have some great sex...that should get em out...lol

SEX SEX SEX!!!! orgasms make ur uterus contract.  i also heard asparagus works, and citrus foods.  also try pumping b/c it will help to tell ur body its time.

Mildred - posted on 04/01/2009

Well if you're able and everything is okay. I say sex. I know that's how you got into this whole thing but sex does help bring on contractions and dialation. good luck

Schedule and induction! The fear of going from zero to FULL ON LABOUR will scare the baby out of you. It worked for my friend and me! The night before we were both scheduled to be induced the contractions started LMAO!

Unless medically indicated, induction is the fastest way to an unneeded c-section.  Please avoid this if at all possible.

what worked on my best was plenty of sex and a hot hot pizza that done the job for me all the best x x

when i was pregnant with my 2nd i went to antenatal classes and the midwife running it said that crawling, sex and walking are comon things to do to induce yourself, what i suggest is have sex doggy style and also while standing! that way your killing two birds with one stone ;) LOL!!

I would have to agrre with the ones that tell you to have sex, but it will have to be good one, if you understand what I mean :o) That's how my twins came home!

Quoting Anita:

Please don't wait too long to see a doctor- you don't want to be too overdue because that can cause problems for baby. My 5th child was 10 days overdue- who would have thought- and the last week I took afternoon trips to the hospital while they tried to naturally induce labor by nipple stimulation while watching baby with a monitor. after 10 days I was induced with pitosin and gave birth to a healthy 8 1/2 lb girl. Have a happy and healthy delivery!

Purely anecdotal but my mother gave birth to me 18 days past her Estimated Due Date and I'm just fine. :)

Melody - posted on 03/31/2009

HI Charlotte, I know how frustraiting this may be what you can do as everybody says have sex the semen loosens up the cervix and makes it easier for you to contract. that or ciro syrup helps but it tastes nasty just to let you know. good luck hun wish you the best

Lucia - posted on 03/31/2009

i tried hot pizza like with chili on it its worked a bit then i drunk castor oil with oj and that made its start and go quick but only works when u are ready to go in labour mind you it taste gross

Cari - posted on 03/31/2009

As odd as it sounds but sexual intercourse will cause your uterus to start contracting from the orgasim. Sorry if it seemed to be a little graphic.

Michelle - posted on 03/31/2009

Having sex/stimulation increases a hormone that promotes contractions. I read that somewhere when I was overdue. The hormone is oxitocin i think, which is very similiar to pitocin given in the hospital for inducing labor.

Irene - posted on 03/31/2009

I was late with my second child and I literally walked around the inside of my house for 2 hours. It was raining outside so I walked inside. Or you could have your feet and hands rubbed. My husband did that and I had contractions that were 45 minutes apart. Or as a mid-wife told me get a sperm deposit. LOL!!!

Walking,  taking a warm bath or shower and sex helps to get things going.   I have had three babies and with my second one I went to the hospital early and the doctor had me walking up and down the halls and taking  a shower !! Good Luck!!  Just remember that this is one time you do want to "rock the boat" :)
