Kick start labor...

I heard pumping is supposed to help start labor, is there anyone that has tried it and it worked for you? I'm exactly 41 weeks today, I've tried sitting in a bathtub full of water but that hasn't helped yet.
Any advice, answers is appreciated :)

I got told with my first you shouldn't as the baby needs that first part of what comes out as its nutritious or something for them :)

Best thing is walking up and down stairs and an excersize ball bouncing on that.

Pumping can cause you to have contractions which might kick start labor. The downfall is if you dont go into labor then youll have lost all of that precious colostrum that your newborn needs unless you freeze it. It still wont be quite as nutritious as fresh.
