red raspberry doesn't induce labor, it helps tone the uterus and could possibly help thin the uterus but i'll tell you from experience, I have been drinking it 3 times a day since this past Friday and I am still where I was last week :( so I have been exercising/dancing and doing squats all day as well as walking  A LOT.

Do NOT put ANYTHING in your vagina! You are not a doctor and it can be vary dangerous for your child. I have been on several calls with instances like this. I highly recommend talking to your doctor about it before you try anything. Good luck! :)

Evening primrose oil... Im actually taking it. 3 orally and 2 vaginally its acutually helped. It doesnt induce labor it just softens your cervix to help you dilate. Its more effective if you rub the oil on your stomach.

Oregano tea is supposed to bring contractions on, try walking up and down stairs or bouncing on your bed.

Nipple stimulation worked for me! I don't know if that's what caused my labor, but I did it at night and at 5 am my water broke

With my first I drank more caffiene, had more sex, walked the neighborhood nightly, kept active, and ate pineapple all the time (i was just craving it). My son came exactly one week early. But it really just depends on the person. You can do everything in the book in order to induce, but unfortunately your body will decide when to let out baby. I would just suggest to stay up and moving. Sex helps to thin the cervix and if you have an orgasm that has the possibility of inducing contractions.
