Natural ways to induce labor at home?

Angela

I’m hoping to get some suggestions on natural ways to induce labor. My doctor gave me the green light on using evening primrose oil and red raspberry leaf tea and I will bring any other suggestions to her before trying them myself.

I am currently 37+6 days and have my induction scheduled on my DD at 40 weeks since that’s the latest my doctor is comfortable with waiting due to gestational diabetes. I would have scheduled it at 39 weeks, but due to having 2 previous c-sections, I’m not a good candidate for any medical induction method other than pitocin and I’m worried I’ll end up with a c-section if there’s no progression.

Has anyone tried or heard of any natural induction methods or combination of methods that I can bring to my doctor for her okay to try?
