Things we've tried so far to start labor...

Yup it's getting to that point, where I"m 5 days till my second due date! (yesterday would of been my 1st so in my head I"m 1 day overdue already).
We've tried a variety of things, while I wait for my Castor Oil and Red Rasberry Leaf tea to come in the mail.
1. Sex
2. Nipple stimulation
3. Bumpy car rides
4. Acupressure points
5. Spicy foods
6. Eggplant parm
7. Pineapple binging
8. Going up and down stairs and steep as hell driveway
9. Taking Evening Primrose oil 3x a day
10. losing my mind......
ok #10 is a result of #1-9 but we will be repeating the cycle tonight....and hopefully my other 2 salvation remedies will be here....
Labor...where are you????
I did have 4 strong contractions 15 minutes apart last night....but they stopped...boooooooooooooooo

oh you poor thing! I went one day overdue (10 days past my original due date) with number three and I thought I was going to lose my mind! we tried everything too but finally my midwife gave me a homeopathic treatment to take and I went into labor that night. maybe you could contact a homeopathist?
