Getting labor going

Officially had my last day of work and my maternity leave begins😀 The whole time I planned on working up until I went into labor but these last few weeks have been so hard on my back and feet especially so I talked with my doctor and we decided it would be best for me to start now. On Sunday I will be 39 weeks. Due date is Feb 9th. Going to do as much walking as I can! Anyone have any helpful tips to help get labor going? I know I just need to wait until he’s ready and he will come but I know I’m not alone in wanting to speed things up 😀 This is my first and I am just beyond excited ❤️ I love seeing everyone having their babies already just wish it was my turn 😢 I get checked for dilation at my next appointment which is Thursday and I’m really hoping for something 🤞🤞 I’ve been feeling a crazy amount of pressure and pain down there anytime I am standing. I just hope it’s not too much longer until I get to hold my baby boy🥺💙
