um yeah i dont know about everyone else and there things but it didnt work for me apart from walking thats about it and maybe sex haha because i got to hospital to be induced and i was about 3cm or something when i got there so i would say when you go in to labour walk through your contractions if you can :) because i was induced and then i did a few laps around the hospital and then i started getting back pains and then they got stronger around 11pm then 2am and until finally she was born :)

what worked for me was i walked alot...also doin pregnancy exercises helps..we bought a puppy when i was pregnant and one day after walking i bent over to pick up the puppy and my water broke. good luck with you and your baby!

hey Jayde another thing is that spicy food helps.



also, definately have lots of sex. the night my son was born i had sex not even knowing that i'd be going through labour that very night (3 weeks before due date).

I did a thing called the "Labor Shake" its some castor oil, orange juice and vanilla ice cream. That started the contractions but it didn't make the dilate or anything then a couple days later I just did more castor oil in some coffee and walked around the block a couple times. My water broke the next morning at 5 am and I had her at 10:24 at night

agree with below...the night before i was due i went for a very long walk with some friends and only a couple of hours later i went it to labour..but dont be in such a hurry...the hardest thing you´ll have to do is just round the corner! but its worth it all in the end..

with some women things like these dont work. but people do say fast walking up and down stairs helps with a long bath after

hi i had a 10min labour and i ate a whole fresh pinapple. it softens the cervics and alowws more lubricant........ i was induced two weeks after my due date with my first but the second was natural

well i think it would be best to just wait untill he or she is ready to come as long as it doesnt put either of u in danger. i know the day i went into labor i walked tons and had some "fun" lol but yea good luck =)

ive heard of all of these & have just another.. if your feeling any minor contractions you can get in the shower and let the hot water run on your breasts and it brings on more contractions & makes them stronger

i know a lot of ways eat a lot of pineapple, rub your nipples, and have sex. I know most ppl don't feel like having sex when your that far along but it works that's what i did and later that day i had my son. lol

Walk up and down stairs and hills. Drink lots of water. Pray for the baby to come soon! lol Don't worry about the baby coming asap though... It will come out when God wills it ;)

passing out. im joking i wouldn't actually purposely try that though!!!

but i passed out at my 39week mw check .. probably from lying on my back for too long and my son was born the day after.. he was 4days early.

i lived on pineapple chunks and currys in the final weeks. xx

i tried pineapple,rasberry leaf tea,sex, walking up n down stairs 10x, spicy currys, massaging nipples (its ment to stimulate a hormone your body makes when you go into labor. but you have to do it for hours)

none of this worked ......nothing at all lol.....she came when she was good and ready 11days late :)

best thing is just wait for bubs to come, if u try to induce urself can really hurt u or the bubs
