The evening Primrose Oil, red leaf tea, walking, squats,  birthing ball & sex worked for me with my 1st. The evening Primrose is great bcuz it lubricates ur cervix & stimulates contractions. Make sure you take the recommended amount bcuz that can makea difference. The tea must be organic from the red leaf plant. You should take about a liter a day 5 days a week. This helps strengthen ur uterus muscles b4 & after labor. Also great for blood loss & reducing the time of ur labor. The other things I mentioned help with positioning the baby & sliding it down. Hope that helps.

I think all those things won't hurt to try but I believe the baby won't come til they are ready to. But then again I'm only 24+5 so I still got a ways to go :p

With my first I drank a tablespoon or so of castor oil omg it was gross an then walked for hours an that morning my water broke. I was 38 weeks an so ready to b done lol I planon trying the same thing with this baby count down has begun. Just dont drink more than 2 tablespoons of castor oil cuz its technically a laxitive an to much will give u the runs an can actually do the same to the baby which isnt good bcuz if they have a big bowl movement in the womb they can inhale it an get an infection. But I looked it up online an tried it an it worked. Good luck.
