How do I Induce Labor?
You can try driving down a bumpy road, having sex with your partner, eating some spicy food, exercising, and just doing things around the house.
I have heard walking so many times, just make sure that you don't over do it just in case you do go into labor you don't want to be exhausted already. I induced my labor By adding a few drops of goldenseal root my soda. Goldenseal root contains berberine which our bodies convert to oxytocin,which is the hormone that triggers labor.
I put a few drops in my drink at six pm and by nine pm I felt contractions. I fell asleep but was in full blown labor the next day. A few drops is all you need.
I was 39 weeks.

When my friends ask me how to induce labor at home, I never recommend these methods. Your baby will be born before you know it.
Some ways to induce labor is through nipple stimulation, acupressure or some women will try herbal things like red raspberry leaf tea or by using castor oil.
"There are no proven non-medical ways for inducing labor naturally," says New York midwife Elizabeth Stein, CNM. The only safe and reliable methods for starting labor involve medications given at the hospital. Most other techniques are rumors, unlikely to help at best and potentially harmful.
Only a couple show any promise, and the jury is still out on those. Acupuncture might help bring on labor, but it's too soon to say. In parts of Asia, it has been used for centuries to jump-start labor.
One small study at the University of North Carolina found that women who got acupuncture were more likely to go into labor without a medical "push." The study included 56 women who were 39.5 to 41 weeks pregnant. (Forty weeks is full term.) Half of the women got three acupuncture sessions, while the other half did not.
Seventy percent of the women who got acupuncture went into labor on their own, compared to 50% who received standard care. The women who got acupuncture were also less likely to deliver by cesarean section -- 39% compared to 17%. "We had almost a 50% reduction in the C-section rate," says researcher Terry Harper, MD.
There are many ways in which you can try and induce labor naturally at home. You could go for a walk, have sex, stimulate the nipples and try eating spicy foods. You can find more information here: pregnancy-info.net/labor_inducing_labor.....
Another strategy that gets positive reviews from doctors and midwives is inducing labor the same way you started your pregnancy -- by having sex. "I tell my patients to do that all the time," Harper says. Although there's no proof sex can start labor, there is a good reason why it might.
Harper says sex releases prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that are like the medications used to induce labor. And it won't hurt to try! "I think sex is a great idea," Stein agrees.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
