8 days away...

So I am 8 days away from my due date. I was induced with my son, so I do not know what the exact feelings of labor are. I have had few contractions but nothing consistent. Just a lot of tightening. How can you jump start labor? Besides the oil. I don't want to be ********  out my brains lol.

Never use the oil, it can cause baby to poop and if labor doesnt start, the baby can get sick and die from infections due to the castor oil. Try walking, mopping, squatting, honestly any form of exercise as long as youre able to do it, have sex, and i heard eating pineapples. But that might be an old wives tale.
