Labour Induction?

[Annie]

Did you try any labour induction methods? What worked? What didn't?

When I was pregnant with my son, the doctor decided that I should be induced -- but he wanted to try stripping my menbranes first to see if that would bring on labour. What an "uncomfortable" process that was (ok, it was quite painful and very unpleasant!). It seems to have worked though because I went into labour on my own about 10 hours later.

Castor oil -- from what I understand, is not a good idea.
