walking, sex, warm (not hot) baths, raspberry tea, evening of primose oil (to help soften the cervix if you're not dilating).

Are you having any signs of labor? Even sporadic contractions is a good sign, but if your body doesn't seem to be ready to start labor, most at home induction techniques won't really work. My sil was due on April 27 and she's at the hospital in labor right now. They were going to induce her tomorrow, so hang in there. I promise you won't be pregnant forever! ↑

my braxton hicks contractions were EXTREMELY painful last time I was pregnant. i think they were actually worse than the real thing. Everyone is different...some feel them real bad some hardly feel em at all! i wouldn't worry. ↑
