Sex, long walks, eating spicy foods. That's what my girlfriends have been telling me about delivering sooner.

I've tried everything that she listed as well as nipple stimulation, pressure point, exercise ball, squats, castor oil, even had membrane sweep yesterday and am trying castor oil and everything else again today. And I'm 39+1 100% effaced, 3.5cm dilated, and cervix is as soft as can be, even baby fully engaged and can't drop no lower. It's hard to say what might help different stuff works for different people. Walking, sex, exercise ball, and squats are supposed to be most helpful. They help get baby in good position and that help to add pressure which can help your cervix along. Sperm supposedly helps thinning and an orgasm can help bring on contractions.
