inducing labor.

For the moms who are trying to induce labor naturally. What are you doing?
Ive been having sex like crazy, walking and squating. Im dilated 1cm and thinning. I have been having irregular contractions since last Monday.
If you are doing squats, how many a day do you do?

And when using the ball don't go all crazy bouncing on it, just do very light bounces and alternate with doing circular or figure eight movements, I only did it for 15 mins but some ppl will do it for up to an hour, i just got tired lol but it worked !

I was walking, having sex, but it didn't  work for me, the thinh that helped me was using the exercise ball, or birth ball, i had read about it helping your water break so I tried it out, few hours later my water broke! The only other thing besides that, that i did differently was use a heating pad on my breast, heard that worked hope this helps

Lol I don't think my bf would believe me if I told him foot massages can put you into labor. Lol even if I showed him proof he'd still deny it. :p

Try foot massages. Google the pressure points on the foot and rub those..
