Ask your Doctor to do a membrane scrape! I had it done with my son and my water broke 13.5 hrs after hvaing it done. it is suppose to put you into labour within 48 hrs of having it done. everyone i have heard who has had this done has gone into labour the next day or the day they have had it done!

Find a certified Prenatal massage therapist and have her massage your labor points I went into labor 32hrs after and I was 5 days early and it is a very good chance you could go into labor within 24-36 hrs. And if not at least you feel really relaxed after.

SEX, Have SEX and have him ejaculate inside you, something in the sperm causing dialation, well, it eats away at the lining,a nd then causing you to contract and dialate. My midwife SWORE apon that.. LOL. Crawling on all 4s, and squatting.

Same as all the others. Sex and 30 minutes after my water broke. Alot of walking helps too.

My OB suggested Evening Primrose Oil. At 34 weeks it should be taken orally, 1000 mg every day. Then at 38 weeks 2000 mg should be taken orally every day and one capsule inserted into the vagina at night when you go to bed. The purpose is to start ripening your cervix and thinning you out. I'm currently 35 weeks 2 days so I don't know if it will work, but it is worth a shot to me :) Good luck!

PRIM ROSE OIL they are gel tabs you can buy anywhere vitamins are sold. they're cheap. when you go to bed at night wear underwear and put two pills up next to your cervix and go to sleep. i did it 3 nights and i was 75 percent efaced and 4 centimeters dialated... it was great!

i took castor oil and had my baby the next day...the only drawback is diahhrea. but it worked! hope this helps.

Kimberly - posted on 11/13/2009

with both my 2nd and 3rd baby I drank raspberry leaf tea....and went into labor within 24 hours each time....the tea brings on contractions....you can get it at any health store or possibly the supermarket if they have "health teas". I believe wholeheartedly that this works, and if you do decide to try it, just be prepared

I got one of a big yoga ball and bounced on it for like 5 mins. twice daily until my water broke! Try it:) It could work for you and it will also relieve some of the pressure on your hips! Good Luck, I know that is a miserable place to be.

Nothing. I am a nursing student and read that the baby knows when she is ready. Their is a hormone that is release in the baby body to let them know when it is time. Baby have their own time clock. They only come when they are ready or they are being induce by the doctor.

Cant believe more people havent posted this one, but sex is not the only answer. I have a pedicure schedule for the morning that I want to go inot labor. Get a pedicure and tell them you want to go into labor. There are certain points that when massaged/stimulated will induce labor.

my BFF took a spoon of caster oil about 10 and she pushed her son out at like 8 or 9 the next morning

having sex really works and do squats it helps stretch your cervix even while ur in labor do squats to guide the babies head!!!!!!

Sarah - posted on 11/13/2009

just let her come in her own time! I gave birth in march to my son and he was two weeks over due. I tried everything in the book except the castor oil, in one weekend I walked over 26 miles and I tried a rosemary sage oil bath and tablet in my yoohoo, nothing really worked it would only give me false labor and cause me frustration. I tried spicy food and even did accupuncture but nothing worked and just made me even more frustrated I think that the doctors know best and that when they say that the baby will come when its ready is completely true, mine sure did. Hang in there and just enjoy another day with just your two other children and let them know just how special they are cause when the new one comes that time alone will be just a thought in your mind! Good luck!

As aggravating as it is, you've gotta force yourself to walk around. I did a mile a day of brisk walking and it help me go thru a swift labor. Good luck!

Prime rose oil will help ripen your cervix, but your baby will come when she's ready!!

Ashley - posted on 11/13/2009

Sex! once in labour do alot of walking and it helps the baby down into the birthing canal. My water broke at 12:15pm and all I did was walk and I had him at 4:26pm.

Amanda - posted on 11/13/2009

doctors will prob tell you to have sex as there is something in sperm that is in the same thing they give to induce you...either that or walking i wouldnt do anything else...im in the same boat bub is half engaged so im just waiting impaitently of course

Walk or sex

Cyndi - posted on 11/12/2009

i highly recommend u to drink 2ounces of caster oil. But make sure u mix it with another drink cuz it taste nasty. I went into labor 6hrs later n i had my cousin take it as well n she went into labor the next morning... It doesnt hurt to try.

Mandy - posted on 11/12/2009

I wish I knew, but I've always heard sex and walking..GOOD LUCK!!

sex

Vanessa - posted on 11/12/2009

my doctor just told me yesterday that sex is the key. Apparently there is an enzyme in sperm that causes your cervix to start effacing. That and lots of walking should work... its all the same

Rashunda - posted on 11/12/2009

3-4 tbs of castor oil then walk as much as u can...it worked with my 2nd and 3rd. baby..i just had my 3rd baby Novmber 6, 2009....

Mary - posted on 11/12/2009

I was dialated to 4 cm for over a month and I had contractions that whole time... I walked 6 miles, drank Castor oil, had plenty of sex, too hot baths.. stimulated my nipples everything that everyone had told me. I honestly believe nothing works.. that they come when they are ready. I think that women just get the urge to be a mom when it is about to happen.. not to mention you get so uncomfortable those last few days. That's just the baby really telling your body that she needs to come out NOW lol

sex, real talk, my OB told me to get busy to help induce labor, and to make it easier to give birth

Denece - posted on 11/12/2009

You really need to have sex not just sex but to have the big "O". that helps
