I am 6 days from my due date and completely miserable. I have lost my plug, I have had contractions, had some bleeding, and still nothing. Someone give me some ideas please.

What has your doctor said?

The best thing I can suggest is to do a lot of walking for the next couple of days. I had the same problem 2 weeks before my due date and after leaving the doctor's office my mom and I went to local malls and walked around all day. It helps to bring the baby farther down into your cervix. Just try to stay active as much as possible but rest when you feel the need. Don't rush it, he/she will be here before you know it! Good luck.

I have had six babies, 4 of whom were overdue. Two of these my husband and I brought on by making love. I think it is the prostaglandin in the sperm that gets the labour started but this will not happen unless the time is right. The first time we tried this I went into labour slowly but immediately, I was a week overdue. God Bless

lots of sex. The sperm will soften the cervix, and orgasms will help start contractions. I was actually on "vaginal rest" because of preterm labor. Good luck to you. Those last few days are miserable, but they're worth it.

I don't really know if this is true or if you could even do it right now, but I 've heard that intercourse can induce labor during those last couple days.
