Go for a gentle walk. the rocking may stimulate you into contractions.

Definately walk. Walking uphill does the best, but I bet your legs are tired from the weight of the baby, and it's hot outside. What I did when I wanted to go into labor is go walking in your favorite store. It's air conditioned, and you get to 'shop' for things that you may not have even known about before. Get your mom or a friend to go with you. It's fun, and it sure beats going walking it the hot weather. Also, don't have sex. Some may say that will help, but as your doc may have told you, you're not supposed to in the last 6 weeks. I wish you luck!

I drank red raspberry leaf tea for three days and went into labor the following day. Hubby and I kind of sped up the process with a little hanky panky too! But at 7:00 that evening I went into labor. Good luck, congrats and I hope you give birth soon!!

WALK WALK WALK!! Don't try the castor oil or black kohosh--those are both old wives tales... they won't trigger contractions. Another good way is through nipple stimulation... that will trigger your body to produce more prostoglandins which will cause your uterus to contract. Aside from that, you just have to wait until the baby is ready to come out and meet you. Good luck and congratulations!!

If you had a vaginal exam and have started to dilate chances are this will trigger it. It did for both of my pregnancies. Otherwise, walking usually helps out. I would not suggest having sex if you are starting to dilate. But, I do believe that you should just let nature take its course.

Do the Hula..not I'm not kidding I've heard this works. Eat lots of fruit this can help too. Also walking.

Eat rye bread. Ergot can start contractions.
Have your hubby stimulate your breasts. You will understand once he starts doing it.
Ask to be induced.
Ask for a C-Section and skip all that labor.

sex and walking are good, but can be difficult at this stage. do this - 2 oz castor oil to 4oz orange juice - it will empty your bowels but will also start contractions. it doesn't taste as bad as you might think - its more about the texture.

Going for short walks helps (I heard) but don't over do yourself. Make sure you are always with someone. Best Wishes!

why does eveyone always jump to sex. do they not realize that its difficult to have sex even at 30 weeks????!!
Anyway, to answer your question you can walk, do LIGHT exercise, like water aerobics and yes, sex is also an option. you can also talk to your doctor about being induced.
