Answer

You can go right to 42 weeks... Your body will do it when it's ready...

Answer

Sex, walking, climbing stairs, get your membranes stripped, have orgasms, stimulate your nipples. All these things can cause labor. It's not 100% and nothing is except being induced but they can work.

Answer

Eat a handful of dates every day and read up about Evening Primrose Oil.

Answer

Some women can't carry to 42 weeks but don't go into labor alone. So natural ways to try to encourage labor is fine. Heck I'm 35+4 and my OB already has me doing what I can to start labor.

My baby is very large, I'm high risk due to a Brain tumor and I am hypothyroid in pregnancy. So if I were to carry to term or past which I probably would considering this is my first then I would have a 11lbs+++ baby.

I can't medically have an epidural and I refuse to be put to sleep and miss the birth of my son and I can't vaginally deliver a baby that large.

There are many many reasons to try to encourage labor naturally specially if you don't want your labor controlled by manufactured medications. Plus carrying past term increases the risk of the baby aspirating meconium which can very much kill them.
