When I was overdue I got on all fours and scrubbed my kitchen floor, then bounced on a birth ball while stimulating my nipples, had sex, went to bed. Woke up an hour later and my waters had gone! Good luck Grin

I went into labour on my due date after doing a yoga class andgetting a massage that day. I also know two people who went into labour after reflexology. Worth a go, at least relaxing if nothing else!

Apparently Clary sage oil is meant to help

DS was born at 39+4, I didn't feel wierd/odd at all the day before...but a few days before that I walked up a big hill? You could try that if you've got energy.

Be careful with the clary sage it is potent - you only need a drop or two or you’ll bring on a horrendously fast and ripping labour!
