Other ideas to induce labour

Acupressure: There are two places that can be stimulated until it causes contractions. They are:
In the webbing of your thumb and pointer finger. Press around that spot hard! If it hurts it's the right place. Keep pressing until you get a contraction. Stop!! When the contraction is done begin again.

The other place is on the inside of your ankle. Find your inside ankle bone. Go up your leg four finger spaces. Push very hard. This should hurt. If it does, it's the right place. Do the same as the directions above.

Be careful when doing the acupressure points. When a contraction starts, stop pushing the point! Or else you will have a double contraction!

Nipple Stimulation: Fifteen minutes on each side for an hour for a total of 3 hours a day

Pineapple: The core is the only part of a pineapple that has the enzymes and is only present in small quantities. Allegedly you would have to eat as many as seven to consume enough to have an effect.

Balsamic Vinegar: Drink several "shots" of balsamic vinegar. This is said to help stir things up a bit!

Taking a ride down a bumpy road - Yeah right, tried that

Balsamic Vinegar: Drink several "shots" of balsamic vinegar. This is said to help stir things up a bit! - Sounds like the runs waiting to happen

it might not work to get you in labour, but once you are in labour, my god does it speed it up! I was 3cm whe I left Beford hopsital, transfered to Luton & Dunstable hospital in an ambulance, blue flashy lights and everything so only took half hour max, and I was 7cm dilated when I got there!!
I had gas and air to help though

That is said to help get you in labour though! (having the runs/doing a big poo!) Hence have the hottest curry you can stand! Your body normally naturally 'expels' any waste in your bowel so that when you push baby out you don't crap yourself.

Is that Cod liver oil or Castor oil as I've heard both suggested?

Is Cod Liver less dangerous to LO?
