People have been walking in hopes of starting or helping labor along for a long time now. Everyone I know does it but not sure how effective it is. One of my friend's water broke while whe was walking and doing step exercise on and off the sidewalk (like in step class). I walked regularly and my baby came 10 days ahead of schedule. I'm on my second pregnancy now and walk to exercise. But will do so to help the baby come sooner as well. No sense in messing with what appears to work.

There are also other things to try:
1. sex
2. nipple stimulation (I don't like this because my are sensitive)
3. raspberry leaf tea

But honestly, I think babies just come when they are ready. Good luck!
