Hi ladies jst curious to know if any of you  know how to  get labour started. I know it happens naturally! And i no im only almost 38 wks and the baby will come when hes ready and thats fine but im so excited and i cant wait to meet him. i have been reading up on the net and it says thingsd like  sex and hot n spicy foods ,pinapple, and long walks could get labour started. jst wondering if any of u ladies have experienced any of these  and if it worked or if u no of different ways to try n help labour start. it would be nice to hear some of ur stories etc.

I  have personally tried myself  sex and a  hot chinese/currysauce, chilli sauce and also a hot bath but nothing worked so i guess  he will jst come wen hes ready ! :)

If your body is ready, then sweeping your membranes and having sex when you are able (ha- I know how hard it is in late pregnancy!) will put you into labor. If your body isn't ready yet then all the above-mentioned things won't really work.

Two of my friends went into labor with rasberry tea.  One of them also used castor oil, but like kerriekab said, it's not recommended.

Well the only other things i have read that u haven't metioned are raspberry leaf tea or tablets and also black licuorice (sp?). Apparently castor oil is meant to put u into labour but health professionals DO NOT reccomend this one. I read it makes labour faster though.
