40 weeks pregnant. I am suppose to be induced next week, what can i do to help myself go into labor naturally?

I wish I had the answer to this question because I am going to be induced on Friday if he doesn't come on his own before then. I have tried everything. I have had my membranes stripped twice, I have had tons of sex, walked the entire mall to one end and back two different times, ate really spicy foods and peppers, tried nipple stimulation (both by hand and with pump), tried riding our four wheeler over bumps, and even took castor oil. NOTHING has worked for me and I believe that this baby is just not going to come out on his own and I am most likely going to need to be induced on Friday, but I will keep my fingers crossed that something works for you.

I was a week late with my first, I had run TONS of errands the day I went into labor. Try to arrange all your errands in one day.

Not much you can do. You can try long walks, sex, etc. But, that baby may not want to come out regardless. That's what happened to me and I had to be induced. It's easy and will be fine.

Long walks

Spicy Foods

Sex

walk, that helps, helped me. and i have heard that going for a drive over bumpy roads helps too, but i cant confirm that one! :) Good luck!

Have sex or if you don't want to, then go for a drive down a bumpy road. That worked for me! (not the sex, the drive!)

All my friends told me to have sex! LOL
