40 weeks pregnant..Help....

Feeling so fed up, I feel bad for feeling this way but I am exhausted. Dunno what to do to help speed things up. I haven't been checked for dilation or effacement yet. Not sure if it's UK policy or just my hospital. Any tips on how to make things go faster will be appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Walking (move around, let gravity do some work)
Sex
Eat pineapple & spicy food
Nipple stimulation

When contractions start, if you need to dialete more, try a warm/hot bath... not too hot of course.
