Having sex - sex releases prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that are like the medications used to induce labor. http://www.webmd.com/baby/inducing-labor-naturally-can-it-be-done 3. Raspberry leaf tea - shorten 2nd stage of labor although no direct link to induce onset of labor. http://www.inducelabornow.com/raspberry-leaf-tea-to-induce-labor 4.
