But jus a small amount of it

I don’t really have any advice cause I had to have emergency c sections w both my girls and I’ve heard of caster oil helps

Sex.

Walk as much as possible that's exactly what I did when I was pregnant for my daughter and my son. I walked alot. It does seem to speed up the process a bit.

Sexy time for sure! Worked for me! A bit uncomfortable but it got things moving!

I walked for an 1 and 45 mins. Then sat and bounced on my medicine ball for 30 mins. Next morning I had my baby girl

I did the miles circuit on YouTube before bed and woke up to my water breaking!

Walk like a crab trust me it works do it for a day or 2 that ur at home every time u need to get a drink or go wee walk to kitchen or bathroom n back like a crab xx

Curb walking and bouncing on medicine ball and circling hips on it

Sexy time!

Dates! Look into eating dates

Take some walks. Slow pace but movement I think - it’s what worked for me anyway

Look up the miles circut! Got my labor started

Lots of walking. Sex. I stretched touching my toes when my water broke lol wish I done it sooner

Ball get a yoga ball do roatations with your hips

Eat dates and go for long walks. Worked for me in two days!

With my first child I walked earlier in the day went to my last club before I officially became a mama and then had sex my water broke during lol

Apparently swallowing semen helps .... legit

Not sure about swallowing semen but semen in the vagina can help induce labor

I walked for hours when I was overdue when I came home 🏡 my water broke

Curb walking! And the miles circuit on YouTube!

I ate spicy fajitas and my waters broke that night 😂

Acupressure foot massage . I had a foot rub by my partner within 24hours my son was born also days leading up to this was drinking raspberry leaf tea and bouncing on a birthing ball apparently the gravity of keep going up n down helps baby's head get into place if not already there

Oh I feel for you I also have scoliosis currently 6 months pregnant with my 2nd boy. All I can suggest is keep moving and hopefully baby will make an appearance soon! Good luck xx

Sex (with internal ejaculation) always got BH contractions going for me and then eventually the real thing. A stretch and sweep, walking, burning clary sage and hand expressing colostrum are other things that may help!

Not trying to be a downer but... I was induced both times. Tried everything and nothing worked and I just ended up being exhausted instead. My advice: just let nature do it's thing. Then if bub really does need a nudge, the professionals will definitely speed things up for you 😉

Foot and ankle massage was something I heard works 🤷‍♀️ it’s one I didn’t see on here

Yeah that's what got me going you have pressure points on the soles of your feet that can induce labour. I had a foot rub next morning I was in active labour

Walking and sex

Membrane sweep

Caster oil

This is dangerous advice

Literally go on all four and crawl on the ground after a spicy meal done the trick for me ❤

Sex works!

Walking, squats, stairs

Sweep , a massage using clary sage oil , sex , a long walk , bounce on peanut ball. Think of things that gets the oxytocin flow into you. Good luck.

I was 40 weeks and 3 days. I wanted my baby OUT 😂 in the evening at around 8pm I had a warm bath, done some yoga positions.. my labour started 1am that night 🙏

Nipple stimulating, sex and walking alot of walking xx

Walking helps reduce the pain of labor and makes it not so long

Pineapple, raspberry tea gym ball

Sitting bouncing on a ball really helps get baby ready and always helps with discomfort and pressure.

Fxcfc, p

Nipple stimulation and walking 

Sex worked for me

Midwives brew, and bouncy ball did the trick for me. Literally had contractions 5 hours after drinking it.

Lots of walking up hill, bouncing on a ball, miles circuit and raspberry leaf tea

I have scoliosis also and although our curvature May or may not be in the same place any added weight gain with or without pregnancy contributes to a lot of spine and joint pain. To induce labor walk at an incline & power walk.

Walk ALOT walk and do a lot of squats!!!!

We tried walking, aerobics, primrose oil, raspberry leaf tea, sex, castor oil. Nothing worked except membrane sweeps- my midwife did one every other day for 6 days. Baby came right on his due date!

Sex!! And walking! Walk during the day and sex at night it worked for me 😛

Curry

Do the miles circuit and relax. It may sound a bit counter intuitive but I was 2cm dilated for 2 weeks and the second I just relaxed, stopped focusing on the pain/discomfort and visualized my little one coming home (while doing the miles circuit), labor started and my little one was in my arms within 10 hours.

Try pumping
