Bumpy journeys worked really well for my friend!! And also eating pineapples!! And warm baths! (Not too hot though!) People say sex is great but it has actually been proven that its sperm that is good for you not actually the sex, but if digested! You also get the same greatness from pineapple! Hense why I say pineapples lol good luck with everything! The fact of being induced by a doctor freaks me out!

Yeah, from 35 weeks I walked miles every day, including steep uphills, took raspberry leaf capsules, ate lots of spicy food, went for drives along bumpy country roads etc etc etc and nothing worked.   all I got was Braxton Hicks.   Baby boy was born exactly two weeks late, and that was after having to get my waters broken artificially to start my labour x

Lolol I knew what you were trying to say :p but be careful with castor oil!! Make sure you take it properly 2tbsp in orange juice followed by 2 glasses of water... It can also just end up giving you the poops. I haven't tried it yet I'm 38+3 but I think soon imma break down
