Over due baby

I'm 40 weeks 2 days and I just went to my midwife and I haven't even started to dialated. I've been trying everything to make him come except sex and castor oil. They want to induce me end of the week because baby's on the bigger side but I really want to go through labour naturally :(

Castor oil can be dangerous. Some people it has put them in bad situations. I used it with my daughter and it worked but this time it made me seriously sick so I won't be doing it again.

Castor oil can cause extreme diarrhea and dehydration and oNY seems to work if your already dialating. Sex and the product during can soften the cervix.

Spicy food doesn't work and castor oil isn't dangerous. But if you're not dilated castor oil will just make you puke . Try sex . It works.

Spicy food works that is what I did with my last one. This one I am waiting to see what happens since I was 2cm last doctors appointment. I still have 32 days left. Good luck to you

If you have the option of having sex, I'd do it.
You can ask to wait to be induced if you prefer.
