As mentioned in other posts, for me, it is just definately a metter of not wanting to be induced by drugs. i had this with DS and it was terrible. I like knowing any natural methods that I can try this time, to make labour a little easier (if thats possible). Of course I do not want to 'kick-start' labour before bubs is ready, but when the time comes, I just want to do anything I can to avoid intervention via drugs.
I had a really awful induction experience with ds, ending in emergency c/s and I will do anything I can to avoid that again. Especially with the way doctors push induction on women. And also having had a previous c/s it can actually increase the risk of my scar rupturing if I get chemically induced.
As some others have said, herbs etc. won't induce labour if your body is not ready. They just help to prepare you. Personally I don't see any difference between taking evening primrose oil, or having sex with my dh and going for a walk to bring on labour. They are all trying to stimulate and prepare the cervix.
