Wive’s Tales and Folklore, Let’s Have a Baby!

In an effort to have this baby before my Doctor goes on vacation August 1st, I am willing to take any and all advice about inducing labor.  Here is what I have been able to glean from the Internet.

Eat: Lobster, Spicy foods, Pinapple, Pizza from Geraci’s (local Italian Restaurant)

Drink: Castor Oil and Orange Juice (YUCK)

Do: Sex, Nipple Stimulation, Acupuncture, stepping up and down off of a curb, walking up and down stairs.

What have you heard? What worked for you?
