I've tried all the natural ways, I even gave in and tried the castor oil and it just made me throw up. But sex, red raspberry tea, basil oregano tea, walking (lots of it), primrose oil, nipple stimulation, pressure points. I haven't had a single contraction and I'm 3 days overdue. Being induced Tuesday, baby won't come til they're ready :(

I tried everything...
primrose oil, pineapple, sex, exercise, raspberry red leaf tea, cumin cinnamon tea, 2 sweeps. Finally went into labor 24 hours after my second sweep. I was having contractions 10 mins apart for 2 weeks (off & on) and 4 cm dilated and 75 % effaced! I was 40+4 with my second! Good luck!

Oh, and I also had my doctor strip the membranes TWICE in the past two weeks and still nothing. I'm dilated at 3 cm and that's it.

I'm 39 weeks and I've tried everything except primose oil (I've heard horror stories of women having diarhhea during delivery as it stimulates the bowels). I tried the raspberry leaf tea, squats, walking, step-ups, nipple stimulation, spicy foods, pineapple, etc.

The only thing that seemed to start contractions was having sex. While having an orgasm can cause the uterus to contract, it's also important to let him ejaculate inside you because the semen contains hormones that ripen the cervix. My husband and I had sex last night and I was on top and let me tell you, being on top jump started my contractions like CRAZY. They were 7-8 minutes apart for an hour, but then they stopped. Babies will only come when thet're ready!

I've got 4 days to go and seriously NOTHING has worked! The closest I get is having sex starts light contractions for a bit, then they wear off eventually :( If the pressure points work let us know :)

I did pressure points at home its easy and its natural .. I had my son 2 hours later !! Google pressure points to induce labor or see the video on youtube and the doctor will show how yo do it !! I did it on my ankles and within 15 min of starting the pressure points i was having contractions .. Good luck !

I have 6 days left and I have tried the tea, evening primrose oil, raspberry leaf tea, hot baths and spicy food nothing seems to be working I've been bouncing on my ball for weeks I guess he's just to comfy. I'm having a sweep on the 13th day before my due date I hope it works I'm terrified to go over as they will leave you another 2 week's here in the UK before inducing nightmare!!!! Any suggestions would be great I think we have waited long enough to meet our precious bundles.  X
