I'm a ftm and I'm 39 weeks and 1 day and still no contractions. My cervix still hasn't open and I'm due on Sunday! Is there a natural way to start labor?

I tried walking and intercourse but I didn't try the raspberry leaf tea or the foot message. I think I'm going to get a pedicure lol... Thanks ladies!

Get a massage and have them really focused on your feet, that can start labor in some women plus you will be really relaxed and feel good when you do go in labor.

Walking, intercourse. .some people even say to drink raspberry leaf tea or massage the hollow part of ankle. . I'm also FTM, 37wks and if by 39th wk I don't feel anything, I'm going to try all these.  Lol
But in reality, baby will come once baby is ready.  Best wishes to you and your upcoming family
