I hear that's how everyone feels towards the end of their pregnancy, but I started feeling like that at 6 months! Today is due date #1 (my due date is different depending on which of my doctors you ask- i've moved alot during my pregnancy) and i'm praying every night that I go into labor. So, humor me here...

What are some good ways to induce your own labor, other than walking alot? Everyone knows about walking, but that isn't working for me either. It just makes my legs and lower tummy feel sore. :cry:

Sex!! Curry! Gentle exercise. But sex is the most successful, apparantly!

Sex threw me into about 12 hours of very frequent painful contractions, and then they went away. My next doctor's appointment was the following day and I effaced another 25% and dilated a centimeter! So even though it didn't kick start true labor it still helped! :d

Yep all of the above. I hear that raspberry tea is good too & definitely sex, as sperm contains a hormone that can start dilating your cervix!!!
