Does anyone have any methods that worked to speed up the process of going into labor. This is my 4th child. Sex has never worked for me in the past and I am so ready to have this baby!

Ok please do not be offended by this comment but ill tell you what I did not once but three times when I was dialated to 2. My doctor suggested it. Have sex even though it may be uncomfotable for both of you but thats not all. Make sure he ejaculates into your vagina, semen softens the cervix and helpes dialate it. DO NOT go to the restroom after ward for an hour and put a pillow behind your bottom so it tilts up and keeps the semen in. Like I said its uncomfortable but it worked three times for me and all three times I was dialted to 2. I started feeling strong braxton hicks and then labor pains about an hour to 3 hours after I did this. I have recommended this to six of my friends and it also worked for them!!! Its not the sex that makes you go into labor its the semen and whats in it!!!

If you do the castor oil thing (which I did and WORKED) take it with orange juice, drink it through a straw and constantly stir it while you're drinking it. It makes it more tolerable trust me. I used 3tbsps w/ about 6oz of oj. Good luck!

1st take a warm bath whish will help soften your cervix, 2nd Have really intense sex, when you orgasm it stimulates you muscles to help you start contracting, 3rd go for a long walk and jog slowly it will help your baby drop into postion. My great grandma was an OB nurse for over 50 years this is what she told all of us to do it has worked about 90-95% of the time.

Some of the things suggested will speed things up IF you are already in early stages of labor, but they won't bring on pains. The castor oil might, but I've also heard of cases where all they got from that was a good case of diarea. With my second, we tried everything you can imagine. Nothing worked. She was born at 42 weeks. The placenta was beginning to die, but my doctor had his dates wrong and thought she was due 3 weeks later. If she'd have been born earlier he'd have treated my labor like it was premature! God works in mysterious ways. Just be patient. Baby will come at just the right time.
