Ways to help speed up early labour?

Question

I've been in a slow labour for a week and a bit now. Baby is finally moving right down and my hips and lower back are killing me! I'm struggling to sleep with the pain and I'm desperate for ways to speed things up. Got myself a birthing ball yesterday so I've been bouncing on that like mad, any other suggestions? :) Can't wait to meet my little boy! X

Answer

Lots and lots of walking, nipple stimulation (manually or with a pump), sex.

Answer

Nipple stimulation and sex if its not painful. And a lot of walking moving around lifting.

Answer

I heard pineapples, back rubs, walking and sex. Never had a natural labor so I wouldn't know for sure but once after eating pineapples I had some contractions

Answer

When you find something that works let me know I'm 37+2 and ice tried walking,spicy food, sex and bouncing on my ball nothing's working

Answer

Take a nice warm bath!!
