With my first pregnancy I used every method under the sun. First I went to lunch and ate as many jalapenos as possible, then I came home and made a castor oil smoothy, and drank it really fast (tastes awful) and then I got on the tredmile (too cold outside) and walked as long as I can...after all that I was exhausted so I took a nap and woke up to contractions. I fully intend on doing that with this pregnancy too...just a matter of time!

Good luck!

I did it off and on over a several hour period. It started some pretty good contractions and then they subsided. I thought it didn't work, but I work up the following morning on full blown labor.

As strange as it sounds... stimulate your nipples.  You must do this for 15 or 20 minutes at a time to start contractions. This technique worked for me with my last pregnancy.
