I just DTD. It was always the perfect excuse to do it before you have an unknown amount of time before you are ready again... Other than that, I just waited for baby to be ready - they can't stay in there forever!
In the past I have tried long walks, spicy food and prune juice. All the walking did was make me tired, and all the spicy food and prune juice did was cause abdominal cramps and give me the runs. Which I suppose is the point, because apparently irritating the bowel can help start labour, but I won't be trying it again. Didn't work anyway. This time I am going to do nothing, except drink raspberry leaf tea and maybe spend time at the beach again. Just nice, relaxing things - nothing exerting like long walks - the last thing I need right before going into labour is to be exhausted from walking for miles. DTD is always the last thing I want to do when hugely pg - its just not going to happen!
