    ...helped to induce anyone's labor?  I have read about it, and figured it couldn't hurt to try it, but it just seems a bit far-fetched to me.  Anyone have sucess with it?

    I tried eating 2 fresh pineapple just before I was due but all it did was give me a sore mouth Sad. I did read on the internet that you are supposed to eat about 6 for it to have an effect but 2 was all I could manage lol

    I personally think you would have more luck doing an enema...LOL...seriously...I have friends who swear by it.  If I didn't have so many issues with hemroids toward the end, I would have done it to get labor started....haha...

    Walking,  and drinking cinnamon either add to tea or  soup etc...  It worked for  me.

    I read somewhere that aromatic oils like clary sage and yasmin can do the trick. Just mix 5 drops of clary sage or yasmin oil with 10 ml odf almond massage oil and rub your belly with it. Or take a bath with a few drops of oil. They say both oils stimulate your uterus to contract.... Have not tried it myself, so don“t know if it really works....

    Normally you are advised not to use clary sage or yasmin during pregnancy (because it can cause contractions), so I would be careful though....
