AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!→[More:]Somebody get this kid outta me NOW!
Technically i'm not due for about 20 days or so - BUT i'm in so much pain from the carpal tunnel and something called Diastasis of the pubic symphysis and really bad sciatica! They can induce me now because i'm considered full term but my doctor refuses to. Knoqing me and my luck i'll still be pregnant come christmas day!
No, seriously, you need to start doing some wiggle moves and shake that baby around (gently of course). He's close enough to decide, "OMG, this is crazy, what's going on out there?"
Orgasms are one of the best way to promote childbirth (only slightly ironic, I guess). Of course, you have to make sure that it's you having them - other people's won't help ;-).
I was out for a stroll with Mrs. Director when she was a week overdue. She stepped badly and had a little fall, no harm done. Contractions started within four hours. Coincidence? Maybe but that's the advice we give*.
Go fall down a little bit. Not unlike what BoringPostcards said.
