I agree with the other post that said to be careful about inducing labor. As already posted, sex is an effective natural way to induce – in fact the gel that Obs use is an artificial version of a substance that occurs naturally in semen. ‘Regular’ sex or even oral sex gets that substance into your system. If you don’t want to go ‘that far’ nipple stimulation can bring on labor. And as others have said, long walks can do it. I’ve read that raspberry leaf tea also induces, but again, use any stimulous with caution – you don’t want to force the baby out before it’s ready. Best wishes, I hope everything goes as you wish.
