I took castor oil with my first son and 17 yrs later still regret it. He came maybe a day later but terrible choice

I've heard Red Raspberry Leaf Tea (capsule or drink) and Evening Primrose.

Not sure how effective but those were suggested.

If your taking a dha with your prenatal, stop it inhibits labor by prolonging cervical changes from being made.

Nipple stimulation(can be kinda painful as it cause your uterus to contract like breastfeeding would). ALOT of walking, bounce on a labor ball, eat lots of pineapple, have sex!

Google search pressure points there are a couple that are supposed to help.

Using your breast pump if you have one and pumping. It can trick your body and start contractions.
