evening primrose oil on your cervix, break open the capsle and rub it on. It should produce labor in full term woman within 24 hours almost 100% of the time. NO contractions are not more painful and it is 100% safe for any woman. 1000mg per use

The other thing is castor oil you take 1tbs in food at breakfast then one more an hour later if you have no results. This does work for most woman but can induce vomiting and of course the obvious. I would just not advise using it if you ahve any loose stools already! But most of us do not have that problem at this point.

I've been drinking the red raspberry leaf tea for 2 weeks with nothing :( but I'm only 1 cm and 39 weeks. try going down a bumpy road or having sex. I've also heard evening primrose oil, but I'm not willing to try it myself at least until after my due date or after I talk to the doctor.
