I was wondering if anyone knew of ways to
get labour to speed up, by this I mean i'm
39 weeks pregnant my due date is jan 22
and i'm so anxious to see my baby
girl!!!!! Some one told me having sex
will speed up my labour, but I do and it
does not seem to be working I also walk 20
minutes a day since the beginning of this
month..... I was very active through out
my pregnancy I mean I worked and went to
school, but now i'm on maternity leave and
the semester over!!!!!!!!!!! So if any
one has any ideas on how I can hold my lil
girl a little early please reply
thanks in advance

There are alot of 'old wives tales' about
this.... But new research shows that the
baby him/herself determines his/her
birthday by releasing a hormone which
begins active labour. So do all the
things you're doing, sex walking etc....
But baby will come when she wants to!

Unless you are a doctor and break your own
membranes or bag of water. I dont know.
