To Annika 38 weeks pregnant who asked about naturally inducing labor...?

Reflexology or foot massage will NOT necessarily work. I had a reflexology massage when I was a week overdue, and they still had to induce me with pitocin at ten days over. I tried everything: sex, walking, squats, black and blue cohash, spicy foods, and more... I tried it all! There is basically NOTHING that will guarantee you to go into labor naturally, but your own body taking control. Even after I was on pit, my body STILL wouldnt take over. I was on pit for 18 hours before my son finally came. You can try all the wives' tales, but nothing is guaranteed. If it works, it's basically because your body was already ready, and you just gave a little jump start! Good luck, and God bless! (I had to write it here, cause Annika doesn't allow messages)
