What tricks have you tried to induce?

I walked, had sex, a massage, trigger points, exercised, ate and drank all the right foods but nothing, absolutely NOTHING!. I am due in less than 8 days and haven't budged in dilation and haven't thinned out at all. I don't want to be one of those women who go past her due date :0

I know I have to wait but my legs are swollen and I can barely walk at night from my daily activity of trying to get around. Oh well one more week and I will screem INDUCTION to my doctor!!!!

I've even been for a few really long walks and I end up with pains for a while afterwards and shattered, but then it wears off and nothing, still I suppose I do have 9 days to go. Still I will carry on trying things! Good luck to us both

I woke up today and thought to myself, "WOW another day and nothing." It is frustrating to go through another day and not feel any closer than the last day. Last night I exercised and did some squats and feel like the baby might have dropped but can't tell for sure. Today I will do the same and go up and down the stairs a little bit to so if that helps her get the idea which way is the exit LOL.

Same as you tried the lot, nothing seems to work for me either. I have no idea if anything is happening down below with me as docs/midwives in uk don't check the same. I really am fully expecting to go past my due date and en up being induced...which was exactly what happened with my other 3 kids too...they just get too damn comfy inside me!
