Inducing labor: give me all your long shot ideas!
So I'm at 41 weeks and 4 days... baby and I are both doing great but... I haven't dilated and my doctor has us scheduled for a c section on week 42 +1 day as a backup plan (because of my previous csection, induction is not an option unless I start dilating on my own...)
So.... I need to go into labor on my own, and fast!!
I've been trying all the usuals: (sex, exercise, breast stimulation...)
I'm curious about any long shot ideas you may have (won't try anything unsafe) even if it is just superstition :) I just need to feel like I'm trying something!!

I went for a jog during the day and that sent me into labor by nighttime lol
Walking, sex, bouncing on the physioball. These are all things I tried. While it it didn't prevent me from getting induced, I felt that it may have made the induction qui ker and smoother. At least that's what I tell myself. 😄 Best of luck!

Early morning walk went back home took a shower laid down and went into labor
For almost 2 weeks until my induction: I walked like 5-6 miles every single day + bounced on a yoga ball for 2 hours every day (30 minute sections through the day). My water broke the morning of my induction
