I've heard that if you take a shot of balsamic vinegar that it'll make you contract, but whether it leads to labor is the question.
Eat spicy foods! Something with a lot of curry. And just a tad hotter than what you'd usually be able to tolerate.
Nipple stimulation- but you have to be careful with that one due to it can make you over contract causing you and your baby to be monitored (my midwife told me this)
I wouldn't recommend caster oil because it can cause the baby to have a bowel movement thus breathing it in, which could cause problems at birth and it could cause baby to be in distress which could lead to c section. (Again, midwife told me this)
Have sex! Walk. Look up labor inducing dances (you'll look ridiculous, but it really does get you contracting!)
I'd say go for pineapple, but you have to eat like 6 (including the core which isn't really that yummy) and you'd probably get burnt out on.
There's also a recipe for a preggo pizza online that some women swear put them in labor. Goodluck!
