Any ideas of how to induce naturally?

Please no rude commends or responds to myself or others posting thank you.

I went to the doctors Thursday and she checked me and said I was 3 cm (I went from being 1/2 to 2 to 3 in two weeks) and had been having a lot of pain due to a patruded disc in my lower back so she said if I don't deliver by tuesaday (tomorrow) she'll induce me wensday or thursday (my choice which day and I would pick Thursday because that's my due day and grams birthday). I don't want to be induced medically but I want her out. anyone have any ideas what I can do to induce naturally? I've tried spicy food ( Mexican food, new mexico red Chile stew, Thai, and even a gob of wasabi LOL), sex, walking (alot), dancing, relaxation, pedicure, and some Acupressure but nothing :/

Is your back pain manageable enough that you could wait until you go into labor naturally? I only ask because I don't know of much that really truly helps except good old mother nature. The few tricks I've heard of you seem to have already done.

Well, you have tried i was going to suggest. LOL For me the spicy food worked. it was spicy crawfish that did the trick twice for me.
And OLD trick is Caster oil (not sure if i spelled that correct). My mom and one of my aunts said they used that. I was neveer brave enough to try it though. Good Luck

There are tons of supposed ways to induce naturally but honestly I really don't know if any of them are 100%...I think a lot of them are just old wives' tales. But I know you don't want to hear "just wait until baby is ready" so I'll share the ones I've heard:
You've already mentioned walking, sex, and spicy foods.
I've also heard pineapple, castor oil, and you mentioned acupressure but I've heard that it's specifically a pressure point in the foot that is supposed to work.
Again, I honestly think that if any of these techniques work it is only because it was about time for baby to come anyway. You're dilating so that's good. Have you ever been medically induced before? It is scary especially with all the statistics and horror stories out there but I was induced with my first and everything went just fine :) Good luck and congrats in advance!

Galloping down a cobblestone street on horseback while jumping on a trampoline, LOL. Seriously though, good luck. I hope the baby comes out soon.

I won't try the castro oil because my dr said the its very dangerous because it could cause the baby to make a bowel movment in the womb so I'm not willing to risk it and I've never been induced before my first my water broke at 38 weeks and I had him 4 hours after it happened *side note my Dr does not induce unless medical reasons and believes letting nature taking its course but her and my chiropractor agreed that its not best for me to wait because my disc is slipping more offen and it starting to cause problums and I have to have surg. When cleaned
