Can I do anything to get baby to drop?

I am 36 weeks today and feel like little Andrew just keeps getting higher and higher into my ribs when he should be dropping now. Is there anything I can do to encourage his decent?

Squats, bounce on the edge of a bed/exercise ball, bumpy car ride, rock back and forth on your hands and knees... He's probably moving back up so he can get himself into optimal birthing position :)

I'll be 37 weeks tomorow and I feel like my lil one keeps getting higher too. Don't have a yoga ball so I do squats and bounce on my bed. Not sure if it's doing anything but worth a try I suppose

You can bounce on the side of the bed instead.
