I heard that your water usually won't break if you're walking. I also heard black licorice will help induce labor and so will sex and stimulation of the nipple. Thought i'd share!

Walking is def. Supposed to help induce labor. Cuz if u go to the hos. And ur only slightly dialated they'll make u walk to get further along faster. Also sitting in the hotub there speeds things up fast.... (don't know if i'd recommend that at home though unless ur close to the hos and have someone with u). But they do it at the maternity ward......

Actually a really good way to go into labor early is by having sex with your partner in your later months, because there is something in the sperm that induces labor. Neat isn't it?!

it is a horomone called prostaglandins, but you need a lot, and multiple orgasms help also because orgasms make your uterus contract.
