    I know the feeling I think I tried everything in the book including drinking castor oil. You could try that. My sisters friend tried it and went into labor in a few hours. Me on the other hand just had to go to the bathroom. I think if your body is ready then it will happen. Good luck. Your almost there!!

    you can just keep walking... i dont know of any other tricks that arent going to make you completely miserable.. you can tell your doctor that you want to avoid being medically induced and if the baby and you are healthy enough they may let you wait it out.. although most doctors wont let you go over 2 weeks late without intervening

    Don't worry i know how you feel you are probably having a girl to bigen, to speed labor or on set labor drink chamomile tea you can get it anywhere that worms you up and starts labor it worked for me.

    Sounds like baby is just happy where he is. When is your next doctor visit? I'd talk to him about your safest options other than induction.

    Have you asked you doc or midwife to strip your membranes? Sometimes this helps speed things up!

    You can schedule a C section, if that helps.
