Just want to share a fun fact for those who are overdue and fed up. With my second I was 38 weeks and couldn't take another second, so I researched and read that nipple stimulation worked to induce labor. So, I used my medela electric breast pump at 10pm at night. Woke up at 130am to pee and my water broke! So it definitely worked. After I asked my dr about it and he said that it releases oxytocin same hormone they use for induction and causes uterine contractions so jump starts labor. Definitely worth a try! I was so happy it worked
