Spicy food, Excersise (go on a walk), SEX (as uncomfortable as it sounds, it's the best thing!!!)

I am 4 months pregnant with my first, but I heard that sex can bring on labor. My sister drank castor oil and she said it worked. Try walking a lot too. Congrats! & Good Luck!

walk walk walk that is the best thing for you and if you can try to have sex with your partner. for some reason the estrogen from your partner induces your labor. and it is very safe for you to have your baby now. 36 weeks was safe for you. good luck and congratulations.

My mom swears by Mexican food. We have a tradition of eating Mexican food two days before my birthday since that's what she did two days before I was born. She ate mexican food and went into labor the next day. I still can't tolerate very spicy food. And if it doesn't work for you, at least you got a good meal out of it.

Having your breast sucked on will trigger contractions, and sometimes even sex.

How to Start LaborAfter making the decision that it is safer for your baby to be born right away, you will need to decide what the safest way for you to start labor will be. Starting Labor with Natural Labor Stimulation Techniques Some women are successful at using natural labor stimulation techniques to begin their labor. Generally these women are already showing signs of their body preparing for labor such as frequent Braxton-Hicks contractions, cervical softening and pelvic stretching. One of the most commonly used methods for starting labor naturally are sexual intercourse, increased activity levels (such as going for walks), oral doses of castor oil, nipple stimulation and herbal preparations of blue or black cohosh.
