Good luck Stephbaby! I'm being enduced later today so I feel you on wanting baby out.  Unfortunately doctors keep telling me it'll happen when it happens.  I'm praying for you and I'm praying my induction works!! Keep us updated!

Also theres supposedly an enzyme in fresh pineapple that can cause contractions but it can not be canned or pre cut kind best to cut your own.

Eggplant parmesean ive heard can do it. Also bouncing for 10 min at a time a few times a day on an exercise ball got me going combined with accupressure.

Its frustrating..... just keep moving go shopping walking anything that keeps you up right and your contractions will get closer together and more consistent.

7 mins apart but they end up stopping for awhile then coming back. I wish they would just keep me and help the process along...I'm tired of being sent home.

How far apart are your contractions? With my fist son I delivered at 35 weeks and they keep me because my water broke, that was about 36 hours after I lost my mucus plug good luck!!!

Ive heard tons of pineapple but for me being allergic it would send me to the hospital for the wrong thing :/ lol
Ive also read about lots of.walking raspberry tea sex but supposedly its the guys you know that works so that needs to be there and bouncing on one of those gigantic exercise balls
My husband has already been warned when i hit 38 weeks hes getting jumped :p apparently sometimes these methods can take a week or so so im starting a bit early :p
