Naturally inducing labor

Hi! Just wondering if anyone naturally induced labor at home, how far along were you when you started, what you did, if it worked and what not! My doctors and I decided it was best to induce between 38&39 weeks for medical reasons and that I could try doing things at home before the hospital in hope of going in naturally. They have me bouncing on a yoga ball everyday to help open my hips and said exercising can also help move things along (I’ve been exercising the whole pregnancy so idk if that will do anything)... but not looking for any judgement on wanting to start it at my house just where I am from COVID is taking over our hospitals and they want us at home as long as possible and my previous induction was a very long process! Thanks(:

I’ve been trying everything at home since 37 weeks (39+3 today) and nothing has worked. Tons of walking, sex, eating dates, spicy foods, red raspberry leaf tea, squats. Seems baby is super comfy in there and not ready to come out

I tried everything with my first baby nothing put me into labor but after a day of doing all of the crazy things people do to start labor I did progress to 3cm and 80% effaced for two weeks lol but nothing made my babe come! This time I might try some things because either way if it doesn’t work it still prepares your body for labor! Good luck❤️
