Sex. I wouldn't advise you to do anything unnatural. Your baby will come in due time,  don't rush it. It'll happen sooner than you know.

Im getting induced on the 3rd. Im 3 to 4cm dialated an thinning out since I last was checked an iv tried everything to get labor going. Im in earlie labor now have been for almost 3 weeks. I keep having contractions but they randomly stop. Iv tried castor oil running up n down srairs walking for hours nipple stimulation an sex nothing will work fif me haha looks like ima be induced. I tried castor oil an walking with my first child an it worked like a charm took it an walked for hours my water broke the next morning it really depends on ur body an the baby. If u do take castor oil only take a tablespoon or so at a time bcuz it is a laxative an can actually cause ur baby to have a bowl movement inside which can be very bad for baby.
