bringing on bub
my indian doctor told me eay curry or mongolian lamb, from experience my two best friends went into labour on the same night after eating a feast of mongolian lamb at our local chinese cafe. I scrubbed my shower with ajax and 30 mins later i was in full blown labour but previously was told i had at least two weeks left. some say sex and even more so foreplay,as the realease of what ever hormone you realease ripens your cervix( THE MIDWIFE TOLD ME)

re to bring it on
 Well my frist child was a week late. I tryed everything..Sex, walked, cleaned the house, but is in and out of labor for a month, but the last week all i did was go  for 2hour long walks, and Loren came out.. THen my second child came out at 36 weeks, and i was just doing to much, cooking, cleaning, walking.. So I would just tell you to over do it!!!

Early Labour

I accidently went into early labour with my first child, by driving around in a car that had no suspension at all! When i was 7 days overdue with my third child. I rang up a friend who had a pretty ratty car and asked her to take me for a drive. Labour started about 4 hours later.

But I would probobly wait until week 39 just to be safe.

it will happen!
My first son started to come straight after having sex at about 38 weeks. My second son felt like he was refusing to come( almost 42 weeks). I ate some of the worst food ever, Tea was coming out of my ears My husdand was getting so much you couldn't wipe the smile from his face, everyone would say hello when I walked past and I even danced around the house. Then I gave up, 2 days latter, hay pressto ,baby came out to say hello. So I now believe that when the baby is ment to come it will Just hang in there Good Luck!

try rasberry leaf tea, chilli or any type of spicy food, sexual intercourse, dancing around like a mad woman to music.

nookie helps

My hubby and I had sex in the afternoon and by 5.30pm I was in labour. I can definitely say this method worked for us. Bubs came one week early.

What I did
I had sex 2 nights prior to going into labour and drank half a glass of Irish Cream the night before I went into labour at 6am next morning.  I don't know which if either was responsible, but i did enjoy the Irish Cream.

Good Luck

Ideas
I agree with Kilee.. continuous walking helps alot. that's what i did and my baby came at 39 wks and 2 days. sex does help, only if you are comfortable with it, if you're not. then please don't push yourself to do it. i haven't tried the spicy food because i was afraid it would give me heartburn, so i just stayed with the walking...
i hope you're baby comes soon!!! Good luck!!
