Natural ways of inducing birth

Visited Dr Tham yesterday....
Told him that i want my baby OUT naturally as soon as possible. So asked for natural ways to induce baby out.

He mentioned that walking is useless... Walking is useful to build up stamina during labour, but useless in inducing labour...

These are the 2 natural ways he mentioned:

1) Nipple Stimulation
But he doesnt recommend this as nipple stimulation results in contractions which may put the baby in distress. Unless the baby's condition is monitored via CTG, he does not recommend this to be done at home.

2) Having sex.
Sperm is suppose to help mature the cervix and thus start the labour process.
However, as the amount of sperm produced per session is small, he recommend sex 3 times a day for this to be effective.

To me.. option 1 is not recommended.
Option 2 is mission impossible.

Conclusion: Wait Wait and Wait......
