thanks ladies...definitely want to wait til term...I'm not close to family and they plan on visiting a week after my due date so I just hope the baby comes before then. but definitely not gonna try to risk my health and the baby's just for that.

However, at the end of the day....not even medical induction works if your body isn't ready.

Things like walking and yoga ball help open up the pelvis. That bringa the baby down which helps you open up.

Sex helps because semen softens the cervix and orgasm stimulates contractions.

Pineapple has an enzyme called bromelain that can help but you have to eat about 7 whole fresh pineapples.

Spicy foods are said to help because they make your bowels irritated and stimulate contractions, but I'm not so sure who wants a hurt belly going into labor

I wouldn't start purposely trying to induce until closer to the end, baby still has lots of growing to do. But I don't see a problem with it once it gets closer to term, however just keep in mind that they might not work!

yes. pineapples and yoga ball
