Labor Starters
Anybody have any suggestions to get my labor to start. I am ready to be done with this pregnancy!!!
So What Happened?™
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I have tried pretty much everything and nothing seems to help. I am dilated to 3cm and 75% effaced. I have been having contractions for 6 days now but it never seems to amount to anything. I guess I will just have to be patient!

I think basically it happens when they are ready. Walking helps altho I have had some say it doesn't. Sex can trigger contractions. When are you due??? Good luck I was anxious to have my 2nd born cause I was so uncomfortable so they induced me then when I had her I am like what was the rush??? Two was a change for us but my son was younger.

Sex (AT LEAST once every 24 hrs) is like pitocin (sp?) and walking. Congrats!

Well Castor oil worked well for my sister in law, She drank a bottle of castor oil and went into labor the next day.. However I tried it when I was due and it didnt work for me but the dr says that it wont work if your not ready but if you are close it should work..

Buy very expensive non-refundable tickets to something you absolutely would hate to miss because you are in labor. That'll do it.
If it doesn't work, hey, at least you get to do go something fun while you're waiting.

I had my doctor strip my membrains and has my daughter 3 days later. I told I was ready to have this baby, bcause I was in alot of pain because I was so small and I could barely walk! So talk to your doctor when you go in and just ask or demand to have it done. :)
