There’s no sure fire way. Second time mom who is ultimately getting induced after trying everything, but the things that have the most efficacy are curb walking and walking in general, hand expressing or pumping (as it can start contractions) or a membrane sweep.

I went into labour around 39 weeks, but still had to be induced and eventually an emergency c section happened.
I found that I was very active , I barely drove , I walked everywhere and attended exercise classes .

I was not dilated on Monday. Had sex, drank tons of raspberry leaf tea, curb walked and by Wednesday I was in labor.
