Also as hannah says keeping active is a great way of getting everything ready to go - just a short walk will do if you are very tired. i had contradicting advice from my midwives - one said i must rest as my body was too tired to go into labour and i neede to conserve energy, the other when she found me lounging on the sofa was horrified and told me to get moving. i'd definately go with the keep moving. worked for me the second time - and the raspberry leaf tea was very efficient.
as for some of the myths out there, there is getting on your hands and knees and scrubbing the floor (or pretend to scrub as i did). there is eating a nice hot curry, walking up and down the stairs. raspberry leaf tea but your supposed to start taking this a bit earlier on than you are now.
