I am 40+5 and had a sweep done 5days ago. I am losing small bits of mucus plug, loads of bowel movements and lots of Braxton Hicks. A few times I have been cramping every 4 mins for hours and sure I was in labour then it just suddenly stops again! This is my 3rd baby, my first was 3days late, my second was 1day early. Has anyone got any ways that actually work to start labour? I have tried sex, pineapple, curry, walking, scrubbing the floors, going up and down the stairs, nipple stimulation and bouncing on a birthing ball.

If I don't go into labour soon I will be flown away to a different hospital (I live on an Island) and really don't want to be separated my family.
