Help me go into labor.

I know about sex, spicy food and lots of walking. What other old wives tales might help me??

  • Do squats!

     Squat down as far as you can get yourself....if you are doing it right you should feel the pressure it creates.  It actually pushed the babies head down against the cervix helping the progression along.....It's not an instant, but if you do them a few times a day it should get things moving along.  It worked for me with number 2 ;0)

  • Mentally calming down and be content that it will happen when it happens and probably be late.

    I tried everything, even pressure points and pumping, but finally just not thinking about it 24/7 made it happen the next day (in both cases.)

  • accupuncture (about $80). or.. getting back of knees and ankles massaged.
