I was over a week late and the nurse midwife told me to try mixing one teaspoon of phillips milk of magnesia and one teaspoon of caster oil in a cup of hot tea. Mint tea is best because of the minty taste of the phillips. It did not help me but it totally cleaned me out and supposedly worked for many others. A friend of mine mixed a while small bottle of the caster oil with a glass of OJ and went into labor that night. She said she wasn't sure if she was in labor at first or if it was only pains from taking the caster oil. She said a good thing was she was totally cleaned out when she had the baby. Good luck.

I did the curb walk when i was pregnant and it got things moving with both my kids. You put one foot on the ground and one foot on the sidewalk and walk as much as you can everyday. I hope that works for you.

My mother in law told me to eat something that i had been craving so i did then i went walking and i went in to labor right after that. My husband and i also made love that morning followed by a warm bath. So i am not sure what one of those did it but something worked that day. Good luck!!!!

I've heard that exercising (walking or taking the stairs) or eating a large meal can help. Wish I could offer more sound advice, but both of mine were failed inductions... Good luck!
