From when I started mat leave at week 39 I walked an hour every single day, she was only a week late and was so low she really just popped out! I had the respberry tea too, had forgotten about that, I feel a post coming on! x
When I was 37 weeks we went down to London and walked for miles doing stuff. When we got home two days later my mom noted that my belly had dropped which meant that the baby's head had engaged. The midwife confrimed this. I went into labour a few days later and she was born at 38 weeks. I will be walking loads when we get to that stage again. I think it was the hip movement moving her into postion and once engaged signals started labour. Good Luck whatever works.
well apparantly no, raberry leaf helps with the 3rd part of labour pushing it strenthens you for that part. i tried it all but unless your body is ready then baby wont come out huni xxx
I agree x
With my first my waters broke about an hour after sex, with my second I had pains about 3 hours after sex and had her about 3 hours after that! Sex def worked for me, they were both early too! xx

If it helps, my waters broke 6 days early and the night before I had a hot vindaloo and bounced up and down on my birthing ball for a couple of hours. Who knows whether it worked or not?? But, I was also drinking Raspberry leaf tea from 36 weeks and its said that this can help towards regulating your second stage of labour and I genuinely believed it did this for me and will defo drink it with my second. x
I think a slice of spicy salami did it for me (random lol) they say; fresh pineapple, sex with orgasms on both sides (obviously without protection) warm bath, bouncing on a birthball (or skipping ball) loads of movement so a good hour walk
