Answer

There is almost nothing you can do to kickstart labor. Walking can help baby get into a favorable position and open your pelvis. It is not some magic switch that will make the baby come. If you’re 39 weeks you still potentially have 1-3 weeks to go. Walking is still a good thing to do, as are things like bouncing/hip circles on a yoga ball, and having sex with internal ejaculation (semen helps soften the cervix). But do not expect to go for a walk/bounce on a ball/have sex and go into labor a few minutes later. That’s simply not how it works.

Answer

My midwife said that stress will delay labor. So the best thing you can do is simply relax (Easier said than done of course!!). She also said that when you start labor it can actually stop or slow down if you’re stressed out. She said she has seen people stop labor when a male doctor walked in the room that the patient wasn’t comfortable with or something like that. Anyhow I would put some headphones on and listen to some birthing Hypnosis like the Hypnobirthing tracks and do lots of deep breathing and think about relaxing every little muscle in your body especially in your abdomen. Your baby will come when he/she is meant to come. Some babies are born at 42 weeks and there’s nothing wrong with that!

Answer

Walking won't make you go into labor unless your body is literally just on the edge of going into labor.

Answer

I’ve done everything they say to start labor and it’s never worked. I’ve never had babies before my due date and even when I’ve had my babies it was via intervention (csection first time, induction the 2nd time)

Answer

Maybe check out the baby dance videos on YouTube - I've heard a lot of good things

Answer

I was walking every day from 40 weeks and I had to get induced at 41+2
