Now I've done a lot of internet research about ways to potentially induce labor, and I've tried several. Here's a little list of all of the things that I have personally proved to myself DON'T work.
- spicy foods
- walking (though it does feel like progress is being made with all the pressure you feel)
- sex
- evening primrose oil
- red raspberry tea
- having your "membranes stripped"
- nipple stimulation (ok something happens here. Lots of cramping, discomfort. No labor)
- accupressure points

I went to an acupuncturist because my doctor wanted to start planning to induce with drugs and I was against it (because I wanted a natural labor). It worked perfectly! I saw her 3 times (she wasn't convinced I was ready yet for the first 2 visits) but by the 3rd she could see it and she said she'd be aggressive. I saw her at Noon that day and went into full labor by Midnight. If you want to talk more about it drop me an email: dyan_collins@yahoo.com I'm that crazy friend of Kim's that keeps reading your blog :). Dyan

My sister said the same thing with the accupuncture + some cigar thing that you let smoke by your toes. As with anything, if the baby is ready and close--these will help, if not----keep waiting:)
Yipee!!!! You are almost there, my friend!! You will have a baby in your arms VERY SOON! Love from MisSOULa ~ E
