Is anyone trying to induce their labor on their own?

I'll be 38 weeks on Thursday with my second, my guest at my babyshower bought me a yoga bouncy ball and told me to bounce on it! With my first that's how my water broke BUT I was already at the hospital with contractions...idk if I should use it or let her come when she wants although it's very tempting to try and get her out I'm so exhausted :/

Please don't try anything too drastic or unnatural. Self inducing can be dangerous to you and your baby. She will come when she's ready.

Have sex, sperm causes contractions. My cousin's husband was away her whole pregnancy because he just joined the military he came home they did the fancy and two hours later she was in labor the doctor told her that's what causes contractions Lol.
