ive never had a baby so i dont know personally but my best friend tried literally every remedy she could find. she drank 100mls of castor oil which just gave her cramp and diorea, she tried inserting evening primrose tablets, eating curry, raspberry tea leaf, accupuncture… the list goes on but she didnt achieve anything by it. she was induced twice and still nothing. her body was obviously just waiting for natural labour which came at 10 months 🙁
