Pumping. However patience is best and safest option, bub will come when it's ready then you have them forever.

Sex, nipple stimulation,  walking, accupressure... I'm having my fourth and all of these worked for the first three. . You can safely start accupressure at 37 weeks as long as you get the drs ok.. I DO NOT recommend the castor oil trick.

[annettee_3]

What's that? Star jumps?

[lil_misss23]

Jumping jacks I think they are called in America. You could YouTube it :-)

[annettee_3]

How many weeks were you when you first did jumping jacks? And we're you dilated at all? Did you get an okay from your dr?

It was my due date and I went for a walk along the beach and then jogged for maybe 2mins on the way home. Then when I got home I did about 10 star jumps. I went into Labour about 3hrs later. I don't know if I was dilated or anything. But before then I had absolutely no sign of labor. I'd never even had a Braxton hicks or anything. So I'm convinced the bouncing motion started it for me.
