Default Re: Old wive's tales to start labor?...

Sex, I had the dr write a prescription for it when I was pg with Aiden. It actually does help things along. An internal (sweep) can help as well. Castor oil... my bf and sis used this and yeah, for both labor started, but with my sis she had baby super fast and the nurse said that is a major risk, bc castor oil starts things, whether baby is actually ready or not, so they can go in distress. And once you take it you can never go back. Oh neither of them can handle the taste of OJ anymore either bc of it. Apparently it is NASTY. lol Walking,supposively bc babies head is bouncing off the cervix, but I walked everywhere with mine trying to get things going, and it really did not get things started. Though it is good to do anyways. I have heard things about eggplant and spicy foods too.
