1 st worked in hours
3rd 24 hrs
4 th 48 hrs.
Lots of sex and walking helps. Sex effaced cervix, walking works with gravity to have baby in position and push on cervix to dilate quicker

NOPE! With my son they stripped my membranes and it did absolutely nothing. Still had to be induced and still had him exactly on the day I predicted that I would from when I remembered my LMP. Good luck!
