12 days to go and they feel like its forever!

So my due date is feb 9th and I'm so anxious to meet my little prince. I'm counting down the days,  minutes and seconds. How can I induce labor on my own?  Anyone know?

I'm due 2/9 too!! I cleaned the entire house yesterday, did some excersise game on the Xbox & went up & down the stairs a lot. Went from 3cm to 4cm in 2 days!! But still no real labor. Planning on walking around the mall this afternoon and maybe doing the fitness game again.

Wow so you're close though.  Yesterday I did the same, cleaned my house and walked alot. Today im in alot of pain. Are you feeling contractions at all?

[Leabellallee]

I've had some minor cramping but no real contractions. The ob said his head isn't engaged yet, so maybe that's why. Have you tried bouncing on a yoga ball? I'm thinking of trying it! Btw- I'm usually a total couch potato. Lol. I do not work out at all- but I'm determined to excersise this baby out!!!

@Liz1523 I'm 14 days away and been thinking the same thing. My doctor told me to go home and have sex, but it's painful lol. She also recommended mineral oil. I think it's up to our bodies to do so. Good luck with everything. This was such a slow, yet speedy process.
