Attempting to induce labor at home

How does everyone feel about this? Should women try to put themselves into labor or let their body to the work and listen to their doctors?

I saw this a lot when I was pregnant with my son and I’m seeing a lot of women still trying these methods now that I’m pregnant again.

The safer recommendations for trying to get your body ready are sex, walking and bouncing on a yoga ball.

Then there are the more extreme methods like drinking castor oil, midwife brews and other things like that to cause your body to contract.

Thoughts?
