    spicy food! Sex may hurt but yes it will help. Any kind of stimulation will help. Castrol oil. PRAYER lol I will pray that you baby comes out healthy and happy with the least amount of pain for you. Good luck.

    Don't do Castor Oil. This late in your pregnancy it could cause the baby to have a bowel movement in the womb and that is really bad.

    Try sex and walking in the evening. Don't over do it. I walked and walked with my first pregnancy. I ended up getting induced and I was damned tired when they finally did.

    I know you hate to hear this but the baby will come when the baby is ready.

    Sex, walking, other types of moderate exercise, please do not try castor oil as that can be dangerous for baby and mom and often doesn't work anyways. Also, you need to ask your midwife whether or not nipple stimulation is ok, as this can often lead to very intense contractions that can cause heart decelerations or accelerations and/or stress for the baby, so it is most often done under medical supervision.

    i did no longer circulate on my senior holiday the two. i found out that a guy have been given below the effect of alcohol and fell out of a motel window and replaced into harm. issues have been given wild. It sounds like a advantageous holiday. are you able to get a activity so which you would be able to pay for the holiday and could you be 18 via the time you graduate? i do no longer think of you may desire ensure permission style then. solid luck

    The first thing I can think of is have sex... it really does help.

    For me, my mother took me to the zoo and I walked around all day (as much as it sucked) but the next night I was giving birth to my daughter.

    When I asked a question like this, I got a ton of answers and every single one of them said "have sex", lol. Unfortunately, my hubby is in Iraq, so that's not gonna work for me.

    My SIL swears pineapple helped start her labor. She ate cans of pineapple all day on Sunday and went into labor Monday afternoon.

    none of that works. Just relax and enjoy the pre-infant squalling days.
