Rubbing your ankles from the inside to the outside should help and also a pressure point under your thumb.... Just rub your wrist to thumb... Raspberry leaf tea is supposed to "help" too..

Are you sure that you want the baby to come early. Premature babies sometimes have health risks. Think about it it's onlt a weeks away.

Well she is "technically" "full term" now so thats a plus. My mom, sister, and both grandmas went 4-3 weeks early on every baby ...We were all real little, but healthy as can be.. Im not big at all really though, which kinda worries me, but my sis was about the same and delivered sarah 4 weeks early too.. So we shall see... Im jus so anxious
