  Walk, walk and walk some more! Its the best possible thing you can do to bring baby down onto your cervix, its hard when your heavily pregnant but try to walk at least 2,3 miles! Having sex and lots of bouncing on your birthing ball may also help.

  I asked my mw last time what things actually work as you hear so many things like hot baths etc etc etc
  
  
  
  I was told that the ONLY thing that genuinely works to bring on labour is to have sex as the sperm contains the same hormone that they use when they induce you x

  I heard that the prostaglandins in sperm work more effectively when sent through the digestive system...if you get what I mean.
  
  
  
  Tried it last night and nothing, so trying the other method tonight.
