tips on bringing labour on

Yup! All these are great. I walked, went swimming, had sex and went into labor. The sex thing works; I think if when you have sex you can feel the tightening of your uterus then it will work for you(this has to be done with no condom and no pulling out). I could feel it and it worked for me. I told my friend to try it and it didn't work. She said that she couldn't feel her uterus tightening up. Good luck!

Hi, I was a week and a half overdue so I know how you feel. I tried raspberry leaf tea, (you can find it in a health food store). It activates your uterine muscles. Only thing is it isn't too tasty and you have to drink about four glasses for it to really kick in. But it did start giving me contractions . And walk, walk, walk. I went to the mall (it was winter) and just window shopped for an entire day while drinking raspberry leaf tea. I went to the hospital that night. But no matter what if your baby isn't ready nothing will happen, don't forget that your due date can always be off by a few days.

Honeslty, you could try all the tricks in the world, but your body will NOT go into labor until it is ready. Your due date is an estimate, not a deadline. Your baby just might not be ready to come out yet.
All I can suggest is lots of walking, sex, and spicy foods. But like I said, it wont work if your baby isnt ready!
Some people also might tell you to drink castor oil. Biggest mistake I ever made, lol. I drank some when I was 42 weeks and I was basically glued to the toilet for 4 hours with the worst stomach cramps of my LIFE. The baby didnt even come for another week and a half!

I was told to walk up and down the stairs side ways. I tried it and it seemed to work for me - I was 4 days early. I tried pineapple but that didn't work for me - it has put me off it now because I ate that much.
