Hey I agree with the above post with my son I tried everything mention above was drinking raspberry leaf tea from 38 weeks think it was 3 cups a day everyday (yuck) had every kind of curry and ate a whole pineapple and nothing worked! he was ten days late lol!but they are all worth a try!everybody's different so u never know!in my case he definitely never appeared til he was good and ready!but on plus side when he did make an appearance he was definatly in a hurry lol labour was 48 mins from start to finish so maybe the raspberry leaf tea work for something good luck and keep us posted how u get on!

I tried raspberry tea and the walks - didnt work :0( i was induced boohoo! However a midwife told my friend to go for a long walk, eat a hot curry & "do what got you in that position in the first place - she did with both and both the labour started naturally I understand sex is mean to work the best but a lot of people dont feel like it at that stage of pregnancy....

My son was overdue by 4 days,waiting was really getting to me! By the 3rd evening I got on all fours and did a bit of online retail therapy(much to my BF's amusement!).Next day I was in labour by lunchtime and little man was born by dinner time! Midwife said me being on all fours had helped encourage him into a good position to kick start labour
