OK....I'm nearly 39 weeks and desperate to get the baby out. She's dropped and is a good weight but I'm having trouble with all the ways of natural induction.

Nipple stimulation is one of the best things I've done so far because it promotes oxytocin and feels great ;) That has given me contractions but that's not usually the problem that women who want to induce labor have...

To ripen the cervix eat alot of fresh pineapple."There seems to be general agreement that pineapple and its bromelain components do have a fibrolytic action, perhaps helping to soften the connective tissue of the cervix"

that's just my tip will pick some up at the market next time I go and will let everyone know how it goes
