Hey, i'd imagine the bombay badboy pot noodles work in the same way as any really hot spicy food- they trigger bowel movements that can irritate your muscles and start contractions. But if the baby isn't ready to come anyway I doubt it will work, as with most home-induction methods.

So, if ur ready to go i'm sure it will give u a helping hand, but if baby's not ready, believe me, nothing will start it! Best of luck ladies!
