Natural ways to induce??

[Autumndeann]

Hello! So, I'm 39 weeks pregnant and hoping to induce my labor naturally. I am trying to have a vbac so my midwife would like me to go into labor before my due date. She will not induce me, as pitocin causes too intense contractions and could raise my chance of uterine rupture. She has not given me much advice, she doesn't stick around during appointments. I would really like to avoid another c-section. I have been walking daily for the past 2 weeks, about 2 miles, tried sex, pineapple, spicy food, more sex, bouncing on ball, and squats. Been having contractions the past 4 days, nothing consistent though. So, if anyone has any tips or success stories of how you naturally induced labor, pleeaassee tell me.
