I am 38+1, c/s booked a week today due to previous birth history, but am hoping that she arrives before than naturally. So give me your best suggestions to help me get this baby moving!

Long walks will help get baby into a good position.
I don’t know your circumstances of course but with my third I had a c section booked at 41 weeks as I wanted to try for a natural birth if possible(but they didn’t want me to go too far over as 2 prev c sections), could this be an option for you to explore?

I'm 39+2 and had a midwife appointment today, she recommended nipple stimulation, said to use my breastpump, unlikely to get much out but it can help. Also circles/8s on the ball rather than bouncing, and walking up the stairs sideways like a crab.
I follow the naked doula on social media and she recommends doing anything to increase oxytocin, cuddles/sex, feel good TV, dancing etc

Express colostrum! I swear this was why I reacted so well to 37w induction with DC1. I started expressing about 3 weeks before she was born! Good luck.
