According to baby centre.co.UK You could try some natural techniques to speed your labour up: If you're lying on the bed, get up! Being upright and mobile may strengthen your contractions, while also helping you to cope with them. Take a walk to the toilet. A full bladder may slow down your labour by getting in the way of your baby's head descending. Get into a warm bath or birth pool. This can reduce your need for an epidural or spinal pain relief.

nipple stimulation is scientifically proven to start labor or contractions. But you have to stimulate for, sometimes, up to 3 hours. I don't know about you, but I do not have 3 hours to sit around and play with my nips. LOL!! If you find something else that works, let us know.
