home remidies to kick start labor.........

hey ladies got a question have any of you tried any home remidies to kick start your labor such as, blue & black cohosh., caster oil, stimulation, walking etc? of have any idea of your own too add?

i am 38 weeks and soooo done dialated to a 2 baby is in +1 stage so she is high but this is my fourth child ive heard it is common for them to stay high till it the last min, and with nothing medically wrong with me the dr's want to wait it out, they are stripping my membranes on the 2nd, but i cant sleep and pain is a understatement, i get winded just walking to the bathroom i am sure you all know what i am talking about, so anyone got any advice or maybe there own story to shine some light on this subject?

Yep, she's still planning on inducing next week. :) At this point I'm pretty convinced Lily will be staying in there as long as possible, so I'm just trying to relax as much as possible beforehand.

geesh, yeah the sperm helps with the ripening of the cervix, i wish i could lol last time i was able to BD was when i concieved lol, are they still going to induce you cause of the blood pressure? my next apt is tomorrow and then the 8th same as you hopefully our little ones will be here bye the 8th, :)

Goodness, my doctor said this morning that she wants DH and I to BD at least twice before our appointment next Tuesday. I'm not looking forward to that, it's so uncomfy! :(

hey thanks for the comment, i think i read something close to that, i am hopeing to see if anyone else has tried any of these, if tried caster oil in the past and it does bring on the contractions but is unplesent in the bathroom, as for sex that ones not a option for me sence my DH is in iraq till the 10th ( he is cominig home ) but i am haveing narley contractions now that are causeing savere lower back pain that i have got to adjust to but there so far apart still, who knows. i was going to try black and blue cohosh but i am weary about it.
again thank you.
