squatting will only help the baby get into postition into your pelvis it will not, however, start labor.
Try having sex, there are prostoglandins in sperm and this hormone helps to ripen the cervix.
Nipple stimulation also sometimes starts contractions, but you should talk to your dr before doing this, I dont' know why, that's jsut what I was told.
Walking and light exercise progresses things sometimes.
Evening primrose oil taken in gel caps (orally) ripen your cervix also.
I know there's some more, but that's all I can remember right now. good luck and hope you have a great delivery!

Well good luck I tried everything! I walked the mall, I jumped on the bed, had sex, and even drank Castor oil (no sure of the spelling but it is a laxative that is an oil), and nothing made me go into labor.

Play with your nipples, take this it herb called Lobelia (it works wonders), take a warm bath, SEX, push a lot as if you were in labor, etc. Pretty much everything that the doctor advises you not to do. Except, of course, smoking, drinking, and drugs. Congratulations and God bless

If you want more 'clean and tidy' things to do, then you could wash other floors, dust and polish, clean windows, have a change around with furniture, arrange things differently, sort through your kitchen etc Or something fun, go out and shop till you drop!

Going for a walk can increase labor symptoms.

walk walk walk walk walk
Oh and if the baby stops kicking, don't freak or anything. It's natural before the birth for the baby to "rest" before it's big arrival as it needs all the energy it can get.
BEST OF LUCK TO YOU

Walk and have lots of sex, seriously call your doctor and he'll tell you that having sex will make you go into labor. Awesome huh?
