I would also add foot massages, especially focusing between your toes. They actually tell you not to get foot massages until you are full term because they can induce premature labor. If you can manage to reach your feet, you can do it yourself too. Please don't run down the hall and jump on your bed. It may have worked for somebody, but it could also dislodge the placenta and cause internal bleeding that would be a BIG problem for both you and the baby. By the way, if your husband is at work, how do you plan on getting to the hospital if you do go into labor?

go to the park and swing...i guess that still means going outside...you could go to a mall and walk or something because chances are you wouldn't just go into full blown labor in the mall, just be sure to take a friend or family member. Castor oil, although it's gross and it didn't work for me, people will tell you it's bad but my midwife told me to use it.

If it is that hot, take tepid showers. And lets face it, if the
baby isn't ready, it isn't coming. Are you very much past your delivery date? Try a spoon of castor oil down it with Orange juice, its too hot to scrub the floor, but try it anyway.
Otherwise patience, patience. Go shopping in a mall.
Good Luck

I know EXACTLY how you feel.
The only other things I've heard are drinking castor oil (which can be gross and messy...) and spicy foods.
Also, try warm baths to relax yourself.
My husband is working, too, and it's 90 degrees here. I'm desperate as well.
Good luck!

massage the insides of your ankles, some people do the "insides" of the calves, too. this is suppose to start/increase contractions. I am a liscenced massage therapist, and in school they let us know to never massage that area if we didn't want to induce labor. also try breast massage, it sounds funny, but it works.

what about masturbation? Isn't the idea behind the sex the actual orgasm to help the progress?

my doctor actually told me to drink raspberry tea. but the sex does work--my daughter was born about 14 hours after we did it. Good luck and congratulations!!!

Masturbation usually makes the uterus contract, and it's much easier than walking.
