Everyone, like literally everyone - male, female, parent or not, gives advice on inducing labour. There are more old wives tales on the topic than any other I'm sure.
I know people mean well, but if I heard one more 'try having a curry' or 'drink raspberry leaf tea' I'd have screamed. For a start, whoever said have a curry or sex was male. Who in their right minds would want the possibility of a curry poo during labour and sex personally was the last thing on my mind.
Anyway, so before I forget, the things that may (or more likely may not) have worked for me were:
- going for lots of walks
- swinging on the swings in the park
- doing lunges around the living room
- lots of rubbing in circular motions of the belly
- salsa/ Zumba dance moves
So what you'll gather is basically just keep active, but perhaps try to use muscles that haven't been used for a while - the dafter you look prancing around the house the better if my experience is anything to go by.
