I'm 39wk 5days n can't wait to c my baby girl. But there's no signs of labor. I get a lot of practice contractions but only during the night. I tried also walking and eating spicy food n nun. Any suggestions?

Sex and being active. I had contractions (that were very intense) for 3 days before labor and I believe that my activity jump started the contractions. I was putting together the baby room...moving the changing table and crib, putting his clothes away, walking back and forth between his room and the living room. Next day i started getting contractions. I also had sex like twice a day, every other day.

I'm 39 +3 my OB suggested pumping for 5 to 15 minutes as tolerated. Red Rasberry tea, sex, acupuncture, and primerose oil. I tried pumping ooohhh girl it was hard my nipples are really sensitive and sore so I'm not doing that again I'm just gonna drink the tea and walk as much as I can I've been a 2cm for the last two weeks :(
