How can I Induce Labor Myself?
There are a few things that you can try at home. You can try driving down a bumpy road, eating spicy food, exercising, and having sex with your partner.
Unfortunately, despite the many Old Wives' Tales and advice from women who swear something worked for them, it is not possible to induce your own labor. Even medical inductions don't always work if both baby and mom's body aren't ready yet. I am mom to 4 who were all born past their due dates by 9 days, 11 day, 5 days, and 7 days.
Especially with my first 2, I was very motivated to do what I could to get labor kick started. I walked for miles, had a lot of sex, ate spicy food, did squats, tried nipple stimulation, walked up and down stairs, drove down bumpy back roads, and scrubbed floors on my hands and knees. What I really wanted was for my babies to be born, but what I got was tired, achy legs, a very happy husband, terrible heart burn, contractions that started than stopped, a dirty car, and clean floors.
I, of course, didn't stay pregnant forever, but nothing I did made my labors start any sooner. It doesn't hurt to give most of the Old Wives' Tales a try (I, personally skipped the castor oil as that sounded just too nasty plus the information was contradictory if it was harmful to the baby - I didn't want to take any risks with my baby's health), but don't get your hopes up too high. By my 3rd baby I resigned myself to the fact that the baby was in charge and my body was going along with whatever plan she had in mind concerning entering the world.
