What have you done/considered doing to try and bring on labor?
I thought since there are several of us trying desperately to evict our babies that it would be fun to hear stories of what everyone has tried doing in order to bring on labor and whether or not they felt it worked.
I've never done anything out of the ordinary, just did a lot of walking. I did however make DH take me for a very rough and bumpy ride in his old Chevy pick up yesterday. It obviously did something becuase I have been having a lot more pressure and a lot more contractions. They just aren't strong enough to do anything at this point.
So what have ya'll done? Herbs? Jumping Jacks? Galloping down the street?

I thought of you yesterday...
I was at the park walking and saw a very pregnant woman jogging. She stopped to talk to us (I was with a friend and her two children). She was inquiring about the age difference of the kids. I asked her when she was due and she said last week. She was running because they were talking about inducing her on Sunday and she was freaked out about induction. She was jogging to try and get things going. I had to hand it to her...it was 94 degrees out. Whew!

lol this thread is quite a funny one, i didnt really get to the point where i needed to try these but i can 100% tell you that yelling get out to the baby doesnt work lol! i tried it lots of times when i was induced at 37 weeks
I've been afraid to use it for fear that I might not be able to get up off of that little thing LOL
I know, thats why I say different things work differently for some...I have however heard pineapples work wonders, but did not try them for myself...and them saying the red rasberry leaf tea cuts down your post partum bleeding, I did not think it helped at all...I bled for alot longer with this one(sorry TMI)
It's amazing how some things work wonders for some people and don't do squat for others.
