ways to speed up labor ??

I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow and I'm so impatient and nervous..I'm ready for her to come already!! I tried sex.. it makes me have contractions but then they stop after a while. What else is there besides castor oil and walking?

There's nothing you pretty much can't do. If your body and baby isn't ready then don't push it

I had a nap, a warm shower and walked up and down the stairs. It worked out pretty good

My doctor told me to bounce lots on an exercise ball!

I was told by a labor coach to poop. She said the tightening stimulates contractions.
