Hi MBear,

I've noticed a few occassions in which women are anxious to kick-start labour using (comparitively) natural methods in order to beat a medical induction of labour dead-line.

I think the best way to avoid being induced medically, rather than try a DIY approach with the usual suspects at home, is decline to be induced, relax, enjoy the remainder of your prgenancy and trust that your body will go into labour at just the right time and if that's later than whatever average might happen to be, that's just fine.
