Natural inducement?

Um, a friend said that reflexology started her off. Not sure if that's what happened, but if nothing else, she had a lovely foot rub

Clary sage - a few drops in some body lotion which I rubbed into my tummy. It's a uterine stimulant and I started tightening almost immediately and my waters broke a few hours later. Could have been the clary sage or just coincedental as I was post dates.

There is evidence that a membrane sweep (stretch and sweep) at 41 weeks will increase your chances in going into labour on your own..
