inducing

What are ways to naturally induce labor? My boyfriend doesn't want to be intimate, the nipple stimulation doesn't seem to be working, I don't want to try the spicy foods because I'm already terrified to poop during labor, castor oil just sounds scary. I'm running out of ideas :( also it's super icy outside and I live in a valley so walking isn't really an option right now.

You'll probably poop during labor anyway. It's more common than you think.  And the doctors and nurses don't care :)

Evening primrose oil seems to work wonders for everyone. I'm going to try it starting next week.

I'm definitely gonna try the bouncing! And I've heard of the primrose oil, I might try it if exercises and stuff don't work. I know pooping during labor happens more often than not, I just want to avoid it best I can lol

Evening primrose and red raspberry leaf tea is great but not if you haven't been consistent over a period of time. Ive been having contractions since 33 weeks... ive done all these, walks upon hours and yoga ball technique. Hasn't done anything...btw ive also tried pineapple, oj and milk and castor oil. Maybe dancing? I'm due tmw as well.
