Any ideas on how to induce labor myself ?
Ok so I was just wondering if anyone has induced labor themselves. Like did walking help put you in labor or eating pineapples or any other " tricks" help. I will be 38 weeks tommorow and if my baby isn't born by next week my doctor is going to induce me because I tend to have big babies any way I've heard that it hurts alot more when the hospital induces you than natural birth and I don't plan on having an epidural or anything like that so any sugguestions and stories will help me so thank you in advanced and God bless everyone!!!

hi. Well throughout my pregnancy googling ive come across several articles saying semen is meant to start the ball rolling ar it naturally dilates the cervix.
Also i've been told by a lot of "old wives" that eating a nice hot curry should do the trick too.
So why not make a night of it with a nice romantic vindaloo followed by a roll in the hay... Lol
Whatever u do best of luck hun x

Honestly there isn't anything you can do unless you are already in early labor. Walking and letting gravity do it's thing will be helpful then. I suppose if you are really desperate you could try having sex that would probably be your best bet.
You do know that you can refuse an induction right? And that induction for a suspected large baby goes against ACOG guidelines?
