Osteo - I had a myopractic session on the muscles around the baby the day before going into labour, and also I was shaking my booty - and thats free, so try that first!
Otherwise, just relax and wait until baby is ready to be born!!
i dont think anything will make baby come until nany is ready.. ( please dont anyone show me this post in 5 weeks time when i am asking the exact same question LOL)
im 6 days over due and so far tried: sex, walking, running/wobbling up and down the stairs, castor oil, cleaning my house from top to bottom making sure i got on all fours to clean things like the bath, and nipple stimulation... still not even close!!! i guess its true that the baby well come when they r good and ready. im off to have a S&S tomro. fingers crossed it works coz i goin insane
I will tell you something else that helped me. I told myself that my EDD was the 42 week date, then i wasn't feeling like it was time or wondering why i hadn't gone into labour. There is a possibility you could go that far, and that's over another 4 weeks away, so sometimes mentally preparing yourself for that is a good thing.
Bubs will come when they are good and ready - my DS was 12 days late but just perfect. So at 37 weeks, you are a bit ahead of yourself! But raspberry leaf tea can help prepare the uterus for labour. Also walking with one food on the curb and on foot in the gutter is meant to "shuffle" the baby into birth position. Also try curries, DTD, evening primrose oil.
They just come when they come. I had mine at 37+1, 41, and 40+4. I think the trigger each time was *my* weight, I've weighed the same at birth with each of them.
37 is a bit early anyway, check out the literature on early (pre 39 weeks) c-sections and inductions if you want to get scared.
