To help baby to engage head do only half squats. Also do pelvic rocks which means rocking in a clock wise direction while seated in butterfly posture. Castor oil is best avoided however once your doctor gives the permission you can try the same. Some methods of natural labor pain Stimulation include nipple Stimulation, intercourse and walking. There are some stories out there which suggest eating spicy food but there is no science behind this. You could try acupressure on the outside of the small to which can help induce labor. One word of caution though if baby does not engage even after labor starts chances of a surgical birth increase. Hence if every thing is normal then it is best to let labor start on its own. All the best.

Hello..<br>
nothing to worry if your doctor is confident.. just continue your activities.. dont opt for castor oil.. induction may help you.. some babies take time.. is there amniotic fluid more in usg report?? if yes it might be the cause baby's head has not yet fixed..
