    I have started RLT already, only 1-2 cups a day, and I'm only 31 1/2 wks. I too was induced last time and want to avoid another one. I will be starting to insert Evening Primrose Oil in about 4wks or so too. It is supposed to help ripen the cervix (I think!).
    I understand that you want your bubs to decide his birthday, but wouldn't giving him a little natural help over a few weeks be better than induction?
    Natural methods are much more gentle and take time to work, unlike being induced which is fast and furious, not to mention painful (was for me anyway!).
    Good luck

    The only way to avoid an induction is to say no I'd start all that natural stuff on your due date if you want to, but I am much like you, why force them if they are not ready!
