Trying to Coax Her Out

I am due on Wednesday and the dr was nice enough (sarcasm) to schedule me to be induced withoutour permission the day before, I got him to push the day to Thursday (he was very upset about it) but he wouldn't just unschedule me....he also is very pushy about me getting an epidural even though I have said I don't want one. My doctor is kind of an ***...I don't really like him for obvious reasons. But anyways...

I'm trying to see if I can get her to come on her own before I am scheduled to be at the hospital. So despite my deep hatred of people touching my feet...I scheduled a deluxe pedicure, massage and get my feet back to normal. My poor pregnant feet, they are so dry and gross because I can't reach them anymore and my hubby is no help when he tries to help.

Any other suggestions on how to get her to come? No castor oil though...lol

I'm also already 2cm dilated.

Right? I didn't have one with my first, I did with my second and it was awful...and didn't work until after she was born so I still felt everything. Bad enough he's forced me into an induction, I don't want to be pressured into an epidural because HE thinks I should. Blah, he's rushed and such this whole pregnancy and it's depressing.

Lol I thought about the sex thing but my hubby is so worried about making me bleed. I get my cervix checked and it's a little more then spotting, he doesn't want any part of that lol

Sorry to here about your doctor.  I don't want an epidural either, but since I'm trying VBAC the doctor is obviously not excited.  I just said you can give me a spinal shot just like last time right before the csection if it comes to that! My back has hurt in that exact spot everyday since my csection! We have every right not to want an epidural!
Maybe do a bunch of squats? The obvious one: having an orgasm... Lots of people talk about nipple stimulation, but from what I have heard it takes a lot of time and effort for most to cause labor. Sorry, I'm only 38 +4, so I haven't exactly started hardcore trying yet. No experience in starting labor. I'm 1cm (doctor checked on Wednesday) and have been doing a few squats and leg exercises in my twice a week workouts...
