That baby is not coming until its ready. I understand being uncomfortable but none of those tricks work unless you are already about to go into labor anyways. If I were you I would sleep and relax as much as possible because you won't be doing any of it when little one gets here.

I have read that it would take the concentrate of seven pineapple CORES to cause labor. Eat it if you desire, but that just sounds terrible to me.

It didnt work for me, but I love pineapple so thats ok :)  and it does have to be fresh, the chemical that makes it work is lost in the canning process.

I think it was the babycenter website that said you need seven whole fresh pineapples to do anything all in one go.
