Any tips to bring of labor?

I tried the spicy food method yesterday and I don't recommend as it just gave me acid reflux 😂🥲

Some common ideas are Walking, curb walking or side lunges to help baby engage - dates to help soften cervix, nipple stimulation and sex for oxytocin bursts
but unfortunately there isn’t anything really proven

39+2 and baby’s dropped but that’s about it! I’ve tried everything that’s suggested and I can tell you now, nothings works! :(

I’m 41 weeks and have tried every trick in the book and my baby still feels like he’s camped out in my lungs with absolutely no sign of him coming any time soon 😂 let me know if you find anything

Bouncing on a ball, eating dates also maybe try miles circuit positions on you tube

I’m using a ball, eating dates, collecting colostrum, I’ve booked in for a sweep in a few days but apart from that I believe the baby will just come when it’s ready 😩

Reflexology is supposed to be good but I don’t know what evidence there is to support that

Don’t worry about baby dropping or engaging as a lot don’t until labour starts. Curb walking, deep squats, lunges, black coffee, sex, nipple stimulation, shower or bath, pure pineapple juice and a very bumpy car ride. The car ride made my waters go with my daughter 😅 obviously none of this is proven but always worth a try. And if you’re not opposed to it, ask your midwife for a stretch and sweep at your 39 week appointment. They never used to do it before 40 weeks but rules changed about 2 years ago

I had a sweep on Thursday at 38 was and tried all of the above suggestions since…. Still waiting 😩 I’ll try anything at this point xx

I did this last night and had the worse acid reflux so no more curry till after birth lol

Baby isn't ready Hun. You can try loads of things but will be a wasted effort. You still got a potential 4 weeks until baby is fully cooked and ready for the world! Try and keep busy so you not worrying about babies arrival

Same here went to midwife yesterday baby not engaged cervix not dilated no end in sight. Was in a pretty miserable mood yesterday.
