Pineapple juice Will not- excessive amts of fresh pineapple may help (5-7 whole fruits). Find a chiropractor who specializes in prenatal massage and get them to work on the labor inducing accupressure points.

All of you got nothing on me lol ....w/ my daughter I went 2 full weeks past my due date before they tried to induce me, then I laid in the hospital for 2 days before they decided to do an emergency c-section.

My LO came at 40+2! Have sex, then lay down for 45 minutes before you go to the bathroom. After that, walk, bounce, stay up and moving!

Im hoping I dont go over! But with my first I was 40+4 and dying to meet her so I just had one glass of raspberry tea and the next morning I lost my mucus plug and labor started. I gave birth to her at 40+6..  Im not sure if it workd but I really think it was just her time to come, although I will never know for sure so I recommend you trying that :)
