I'm 40 weeks today, tried castor oil yesterday & was so sick, ended up vomiting all day, not pleasant!! I have tried EVERYTHING to get my little man moving, nothing is working yet.........my midwife says lots of good sex and u r classified as full term now so start drinking raspberry leaf tea, that is supposed to be awesome, good luck :-)

Be careful trying to induce labor you could do more harm then good. If baby isnt coming then baby isnt ready and the last thing you want to do is rush your baby out when they are not ready

Read that nipple stimulation can be nasty coz of how strong the contractions can be and you might not get enough time to react - and baby can be distressed without being in a hospital setting. I understand you need to do nipple stimulation under medical supervision if you want to do it. But walking rocking on a birthing ball,  sec is all good. Though as others pointed out maybe wait until maybe next week coz due dates are always estimates but they don't indicate the dates of the actual conception which might be earlier or later. Better err on the side of caution and give your bundle of joy a little bit more time - unless if you have time constraints.

Well no matter what you do if baby is not ready it won't come...but be carefully with what ever you use to induce labor what ever someone else tried and worked for them don't mean it will work for you.!

Whatever you do, I DO NOT recommend the castor oil thing...I've heard too many bad stories about that!

I've read on this site that women buy fresh oregano and basil and make a tea with it (it will taste bad, so you might add some honey) and/or red raspberry leaf tea.

Whatever you do, let us know what worked and what didn't.... Good luck!

37 wks is still too early. (Lungs aren't fully developed til 38 wks) Wait till next week, then lots of sex, walking, and even nipple stimulation helps induce labor. Good luck!
