physical activity throughout the pregnancy is best. Nothing strenuous. A lot of OB's recommend walking. Doing stuff before hand won't do much to help kickstart. Honestly if u ask the doc's, one of the more effective things that will kickstart labor is an orgasm, no joke.

I did zumba and walked a lot during my first pregnancy. I definately think that helped me to have my baby a few days before my due date and my labor and delivery was eight hours total.

I ended up taking castor oil my last  pregnancy because nothing was working for me. Walking helped me to dilate more but the castor oil really did the trick for me.

Dancing and squats are supposed to help but they've never worked for me. Walking a lot did help though.
