How can I induce labor?

Question

I’m 37 weeks + 1 day! 
I am being induced in 13 days! 
As excited as I am... I would really like to go into labor naturally before then. I’ve been thinking about trying different things that could make me go into labor. I just wanted to see if y’all had done anything that worked, or knew something that has worked for someone you know!

Answer

I wouldn’t recommend it! Let baby cook. I’ve always had preterm babies. I can’t ever seem to get passed 36 weeks. This was my third and I had steroid shots to mature his lungs and took every precaution we could in case he came early. Well.. at 36+6 he came and he was born with both lungs collapsed and fluid in them both. He wasn’t ready even after the shots. He will be in the NICU until his lungs can fully mature. 
As hard as it is please try to relax and just enjoy the end. There is NO worse feeling than leaving your baby in the hospital when you’re discharged. I’d do anything to have kept him in just a little longer. Even one day could make all the difference. 
This is my little guy now.

Answer

37+5 and doctor had told me baby could come at any time at my 36 weeks appointment and I'm like I still see no baby 😭 
That being said walk and get an exercise ball to rotate your hips and bounce on.
