What worked for you to help bring labor on?
I've been trying everything for about two weeks now...

Well, not EVERYTHING, but I've been walking about half an hour every day, drinking red raspberry leaf tea three times a day, oral and vaginal sex *apparently prostaglandins are absorbed better through the stomach*, Squatting and bouncing, accupressure, and still nothing...I'm getting induced on the 14th though, you could always talk to your doctor about that, getting a membrane sweep or an injection of labor inducing drugs.
Reply:the doctore told me to take castor oil in orange juice the first time...but it was the sex...all three times that did the trick

Don't rush things, that baby will be here sooner than u think and then they turned 18 and going of to college....
Reply:I took LOTS of raspberry leaf tea which I heard helped, but it really didn't. I ended up being induced at 38 weeks which was the BIGGEST MISTAKE I've made. (an option that my dr. proposed) I ended up having a 22 hour labor which ended in a cesarean. Going back to your question at 36 weeks I drank raspberry leaf tea, walked 2 miles per day, etc. and nothing seemed to help.
