Talk with your OB: The ob's i work with pay close attention to anyone that goes over 40 wks.They do stress tests to assure the babies status & will induce by 41 wks if it goes that far.There are many myths about drinking things like caster oil or jumping around etc., non of which change what will happen naturally.
