Brisk walk. Worked for all 3 of my kids
All of you saying donât let them induce you need to understand that the chance of a stillborn baby doubles after 39 wks. NOT a chance Iâll ever take again.

I bounced a ton on my couch cushion and also ate an entire pineapple and had sex. My son was born 38w2D
Lots of walking, lots of movement, sooo much sex, and I was told going out mudding with both my kids 
good luck! We tired to induce with my first and it didnât do anything but put me into more contractions for a week. I believe unless there is medical issues for you and or baby I would say skip that and just let things run itâs corse. Your little will know when they are ready to grace the World with their presences 
The only real way to induce naturally is a membrane sweep. I was 1cm when the doctor did a membrane sweep and had contractions and my baby 2 days later
Alot of walking and sex!!!
Just tell him you donât want to be induced and would like to go into labor naturally ,itâs your right .

Walk ,sex, Luke warm bath worked for me 
Refuse it.
Why does your doctor want to do that?!
Induction should ONLY be for medical emergenciesâŚ
if your doctor just wants to do it âjust becauseâ then Iâd get a new doctor.

If thereâs no medical reason then tell them you donât want to be induced.
Other than that, pointless trying to do the old wives tales. Baby will come when ready!
Tried everything with my first boy & he still never came until 41+6.

Walking helps, I was 40 weeks and waiting.
One day I decided to take a walk up our neighborhood steps, 39 of them. Up and down.
3am the very next morning, water broke.
Might have helped or maybe it was just her time to come.
DO NOT TAKE CASTOR OILâ That can harm you and your baby. It could potentially kill you or your baby.

Walk, walk, walk⌠Sex, start pumpingâŚ
My doctor induced me with my last 3 2 at 39 weeks bc I asked him to. The other at 37 bc medical issues. My first just happened naturally at 39. Both felt the same pain wise as far as labor. It is a pinch and pressure breaking ur water. Naturally I didnât have any pain till contractions started eventually it was my longest labor tho lol. He shouldnât try and make u induce tho. Itâs ur choice. I honestly donât believe anything can make it happen other than a doctor I tried EVERYTHING with my last 3. Lots of nipple stimulation did make me start contracting tho
Acupuncture, in few hours you will be in labor.

For those saying donât, you know there are legit health concerns that could be going on. Sex is a good way also recommended, all other ways are up for a 50/50 chance.
I donât know why people try and start labour off, it will happen when baby is ready, I was 40+5 when I had to get induced and I had no waters left at all, and I wasnât even in labour, just wait til baby is ready

Walk and sex but in the end itâll happen when itâs supposed to or youâll be induced
Lots of walking put me into labor with my first one and using my breast pump put m.j e into labor with my second one!!
I did the deed, ate spicy food, and walked. In that order, and was up all night with contractions. Delivered the next day lol
Sex, bouncing on an exercise ball, spicy food, apparently pineapple juice helps too?
Sex, walking, sex, try to express colostrum or milk, it causes contractions and can kickstart labour, sex.
Membrane sweep! They will do it at 38 weeks. I had 2 done. Labor started that night, baby the next day Good luck!

If there are no medical issues, I strongly encourage you to go into labor naturally. I have had 3 kids going into labor naturally. 2 at 40 weeks 3 days and 1 at 40 weeks 6 days.

Pumping can help induce labor. I never got to try it but wanted to. My last living baby needed to come at 37w
You can alwaus ask for a membrane strip before your scheduled induction. Thatâs what Iâm doing, and my first membrane strip worked like a charm and within 48 hours my water broke on itâs own, so Iâm hoping weâll be in the hospital before the induction date. 
Whatâs with the medical profession pushing inductions! Makes me sick!!! If you and your baby have no risks please say no! You have the right to refuse induction. Do your research mama.

Just tell them no you donât want to get induced they canât make you
Are the drs concerned about your health or babys health ? If not then just refuse to be induced.
Sex is good for starting labour or spicy food but honestlyâŚbaby comes when its time to be born and not before. Women have such horror stories of being induced several times with no result id refuse if you are both healthy
You can decline induction - of course you will want you and baby healthy! There are lots of things that can help such as sex (sperm eat away at your cervix), walking, squats, activating labor yoga (on YouTube), curb walking, stairs, nipple stimulation, using an exercise ball
However none of these things will actually induce you unless baby is right there and your body is ready
I was 42 weeks. Had to be induced itâs not a bad thing Hun!
Babies come when they come. Trying to induce labor just puts more stress on baby and mama.

I get the question, but your sentence completely contradicts itself. You donât want âto be inducedâ by the doctorâŚ.you want the baby âto come naturallyââŚâŚbut then ask for ways of âinducingâ labor yourself

Itâs so much harder than everyone says. I tried everything with my youngest and she was still 3 days late
Eating curry, having sex, raspberry leaf tea. I went into Labour when my bump heard fireworks.
I had my membrane sweeping done at 38 weeks as i was already dilated and lost my plug and still didnât work so at 39 weeks and 3 days
i got fresh pineapple (2) and a bag of carrots i juiced them drank half of it at 4 just when my fiance came home then we walked around our block (wanted to just lay down and sleep in the street) was about an hour arrived home drank the other half and exactly 11 when we headed to bed i thought i peed myself but my water broke and strong contractions started my baby was born and he is 5 months old todayâ¤

Trying to induce increases your chances of needing a c-section.

They can induce you but it doesnât always workâŚ
Easy tell the doctor you dont want to chemically induce⌠you body and your baby knows what to do and when
Sex. Within 4 hours after, my water broke and I was in labor. We had tried spicy food, a big meal, greasy meal, walking, exercise, anything youâd google. Sex is what did it.
I think itâs proven that emergency c-section is less likely if the baby is born around 39 weeks. I believe some doctors are doing this now because if you and the baby are healthy, they want to get you in and out of the hospital as quickly as possible, to reduce the risk of contracting Covid. C-sections mean a longer hospital stay and increased risk. You might be able to ask your doctor to try sweeping the membranes when you get close to 39 weeks. (That is, if they donât mention it first to you). Also, cervical checks get things going, as well.
Evening primrose capsules x2 4 times a dayâŚtotally natural and safe have 5 babies used every timeâŚhelps to soften cervix and helps to dilate⌠also insert x2 at nightâ:ok_hand:t5: good luck muma

Pineapple juice.
Fish oil pills. (Insert one a night).
Sex (he needs to cum inside you).
Walk/Squats.
These 3 things soften the cervix and help throw you into labor.
All my beautiful labor and delivery fam & doctor recommended/cleared to be safe.
I didnât think it was true to work until three days before my induction. Literally a day before my induction I went into labor. That was the 3rd day I did this.
Good luck girly! You got this!!
ETA: Do NOT EVER take âCastor Oilâ. This is EXTREMELY outdated and EXTREMELY harmful to you and baby. Studies show it can result in infant loss. Donât do it.
I wouldnât do anything to try and induce your labor early because you never know what kind of effect can happen on your baby⌠if they want to induce you then there must be a reason. I suggest you talk to your dr and donât do anything you read here or on the internet
DO NOT DRINK CASTOR OIL!!! IT HAS BEEN KNOW TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO YOUR BABY!!! Donât do it

I walked up and down hills and did squats. The Dr said nipple stimulation but I believe them walks did it for me, it was my only child my water broke and I went into labor at home without starting pitocin. Sex, orgasm and sperm all can help and massage. Go to a massage therapist trained they know certain pressure points that stimulate contractions to get labor going as well.
Pineapple juice worked work me. Drank a ton, went into labor. Not sure if the two are correlated though.

Iâve had 5 kids and tried all of these suggestions. Absolutely nothing worked. They all ended up being over due. I was scheduled with each one to be induced but literally the day before being induced or the morning of before going to the hospital I went into labour. Iâm now 37 weeks with my 6th and have to be induced in a weekâs time due to medical issues. Legit shitting myself over it cos sheâs gonna be early but I know that itâs necessary for her health and safety as well as mine. Your doctor is looking out for your health and your babies health. They wouldnât schedule an induction unless necessary. Normally theyâll let you go until 41 weeks and then schedule induction if everything is ok. So something is worrying them that your not quite understanding so Iâd be asking questions.

My doctor scheduled me to be induced and told me to help at home, lots of walking, sex, and pineapple. So, we bought pineapple, went for a few walks around the neighborhood and had lots of sex, and then did it again and again. I was IN labor when I went in to be induced and didnât even know it.

Or have a lot of sex
Both will induce labor
Sex and a beer/1 glass of wine
I was scheduled for induction at 40 weeks, but I naturally went into labor at 39+2. About 2 weeks before, I started eating dates, fresh cut pineapples, kiwi, and drinking raspberry leaf tea everyday.
Lol just wait for it to come out naturally TRUST ME!!!
