Tips on how to get labor started naturally (besides castor oil) This is my 2nd baby and my first was induced at 41(almost 42) weeks. Would love to go into labor naturally this time but doc said he will induce at 40 weeks this time.

I was 39 weeks when I went to be induced, my labor had already started. I was eating pineapple a lot and also staying as active as I could! Try spicy food too. I married into a Mexican family and that's all I ate my last week.

You don't have to get induced. You can go until 44 weeks. Your doctor recommends going at 40 weeks, but he can't make you. I found for me a combination of walking, and a bit of yoga got it started for me.

My best friend wore her favourite pair of underwear because nothing was happening when she tried other things and nothing was happening . Probably just the timing buthey worth a shot π she also did a paper mache of her belly that night before she went into labour so the pressing and rubbing helped and walking up and down the stairs ten times

Walking and sex. My doctor told me whatever is in sperm (I forgot what she called it) helps thin your cervix.

Red Raspberry tea and my dr wanted to induce me too because I was also 41 weeks pregnant but wanted to go into labor naturally also. I drank the tea and two days later I had the baby.

Sit on an exercise ball!! It helps baby get as low as possible and when you have a contraction it pushes baby's head into the cervix and helps it dilate and thin faster.

Sex and I also squatted down with feet shoulder length apart and did hoola hoop motions. The nurse told me to go home and do that. I was having minor contractions that day @ my appt. So I did that then had some sex before bed and delivered 15 hours later π
