Is that true?

Question

Everyone has been telling me that sex, walking, and just overall being active kickstarts labor. 
I’m not personally trying to go into active labor, since I’m only 34 weeks. 
But, someone told me that unless I’ve been active (sexually/physically) my entire pregnancy, that if I were to start walking/being more active/having more frequent sex wouldn’t make a difference at all

Answer

Sex and nipple stimulation release hormones that cause contractions, and semen contains prostaglandins that can help ripen the cervix. Walking will just make you tired.
With that said, nothing really works until baby is ready to come though.

Answer

If that were the case I should of been in active labor months ago. You won’t go into labor til your baby and body are ready.

Answer

We just did 3 days in Disneyland and I’m still very pregnant lol. I’ve been hiking most of my pregnancy and my 1 year old keeps me pretty active other than that. Sex just makes me feel heavy and sore the next day. Maybe it works for some people but not for me 😩

Answer

Nah. Whatever people do the day before labor they think "worked." But I wouldn't worry. Do whatever you feel up to, listen to your body. Labor will start when baby is ready.

Answer

I just power-waddled through airports and ran around trying to keep up with my 6’ tall fiancé while in heels all week (I’m 5’)
I am still very, very pregnant.

Answer

I have tried all of the above and nothing has helped having this baby and I am so done

Answer

Yeah I’ve tried everything in the books. Baby ain’t coming out till baby is ready lol I do believe that somethings help not for going into labor but making it smoother. I think evening primrose oil helps, clary sage mixed with lotion and red raspberry leaf tea all hell in making labor easier.
