Go get a pedi with a deep tissue massage.. there's a nerve in your feet that can make you go into labor

I wouldn't try castor oil. Some women swear by it but its actually very dangerous and not worth risking.
Its a natural laxetive so it can make you end up dehydrated which can put the baby in distress.

My sister took castor oil around 8 pm Friday night.. By 6:30 am Saturday morning we were on our way to the hospital because she was in labor and was dialated to a 5.5 by the time they got her to her room. She had a perfectly healthy baby girl at 1:05 pm Saturday.

Also, she vaginally took evening primrose oil for about 4-5 days before this and that alone dialated her to a 3.5 and got her cervix to 100% thinned out: The castor oil did the rest.

Heard jumping jacks can be dangerous,  the umbilical cord could get wrapped around babys neck.

Nipple Stimulation! :) you'll have to do it about an hour or longer. It releases oxytocin which will cause strong contractions and therefore dilation and efacement of the cervix.

A warm bath, sex, stretching, acupuncture and swimming may help too though if you are dialated any avoid water.
