Theta really no proven way to induce labor.  There's some remedies that people try- walking, sex, bouncing on a yoga ball,  eating pineapple,  nipple stimulation.  But as a nurse I can tell you babies come when they want. And definitely don't try castor oil- while it can give you some contractions, it also causes cramps, diarrhea and dehydration and does cross to the baby.  How far along are you?
