I started using the evening primrose oil at 35 weeks vaginally. You could try 5 vaginally for a couple nights and see if it works

I don't even want to discourage you, just being honest though. I tried EVERY self induction method you can Google starting at 38weeks  (I wad 2cm dialated) & I still haven't gone into labor. Due on the 4th & have been having contractions without doubt - just not close enough. However, nipple stimulation for an hour definitely got my contractions coming every 4mins. I messed up by trying to have sex & then a long hot shower before going in, & they started spreading out. Last thing I just tried was the castor oil, because I've heard too many negative stories. But, after going over I thought I'd give it a try. Hoping something happens tonight or in the a.m.

Good luck to you! ☺

I've heard evening primrose oil works. I'm going to try it when I'm 39 weeks. Right now I'm 35weeks

Eat one whole fresh pineapple straight from the super market. I did this and went into labor it started that night & I had my baby next day. But just keep in mind self induction only works if your body and baby are ready.

Orgasms and sex did the trick for me. I also walked a ton.
