Yeah I used my bed to bounce on. It's the same. But eating a whole fresh pineapple made me go into labor. I did everything else but the pineapple is what helped me.

I dont have an exercise ball but i could just roll my hips at the edge of the bed that would be the same right?

Swx doesn't help induce labor. A man's sperm softens your cervix, which is really good. Stuff that will help you dialate is a lot of walking and jumping. If you have an exercise ball, role your hips on it.

Nipple stimulation worked for me. Also i bounced on an exercise ball and went into labor a few hours later. Idk if that was a coincidence or not though.

Try hot ginger tea. With milk not water. It helped my sister to start her labor process.

I tried sex and it has not worked for me gives me some braxton hicks afterwards some people say it has worked for them. Also I heard to try spicy foods but I struggle enough with heartburn already, squats which I might try tonight, and I heard nipple stimulation I read it on babycenter.com but I have never heard someone tell me that they did it.

I've heard but not tried, sex helps induce labor. Good luck I hope you have your baby soon
