Sex, walk about 3-5 miles, have sex again and see if that works. It worked for me on my first child, I was 41 weeks 5 days and the tea didn't help, pineapple, castor oil, Nada worked. So I did sex walk sex sleep and was in labor in a few hours. Good luck hun, if your baby is mixed their lungs should be fine, I know that sounds weird and untrue but my doctor and my friends doctor said they develop lungs more quickly then Caucasian babies. And I'm mostly caucasion so I'm not being a dink, just what me and people close to me have been told. Best of luck hun!

don't wanna lecture u but u really should not try to induce labor right now lots of brain development going on the last few weeks n practicing breathing lung development for your baby's wellbeing let him or her come naturally

I honestly wouldn't do any thing yet not until your at least 38 weeks...  I understand that you don't want him too miss it but you can always record it..not only for your husband but for your child latter in life too

Im 39 weeks 3days. And trust me, I've tried everything and NOTHING will work if your body isnt ready. Also, look up the difference in brain development between a baby born at 36 weeks vs. 39-40. There is a reason they changed " full term" to 39 weeks instead of 37.
