39w1d, Keep getting contractions but they go away, keep having cramping, I had a membrane sweep done on Friday because I was 2CM & 70% effaced. I’m due October 1st but, I’m so ready now. I’m very active with walking & moving around. I’m going to start trying s*x a few times, I’m just in pain and very uncomfortable. But anything else I can try besides these two things ?

Pump for 10-15 minutes. If you start to have contractions within a few minutes, keep going!

It’ll happen when it happens.
I went over with my first one, I was fed up of being pregnant by 35 weeks and I went 10 days over my due date and had to be induced

If you Google trigger points to jump start labor you may have someone massage those trigger points. I went to massage school. I don’t know if it will work but worth a shot!
I used blue cohosh, a tincture and had my baby that evening. I had just seen the doctor that morning and he said see you next week. I told him I would see him later that night.
It’s October 1st here in Aus. All the best!
I found out the act of sex alone is not what can help get started, it’s the semen. I wasted way too much time and energy and then found that out lol.
Try to rest … being pregnant is the easy part (as miserable as it is).
Take a nap babies come when they’re ready

Sex three times of men’s sperm inside is equivalent amount of what they give you for induction
I took a warm bath while having contractions then when to the hospital by the time I got to my room my water broke within the hour
Squats 
that worked for me …!

It will only happen when your body is ready.
But you could try your breast pump for nipple stimulation. Sex is another.
Good luck:)
Science shows nothing helps jump start labor. Baby comes when ready or induced.

Nipple stimulation. It does help start contractions, just have to keep doing it every so often. If your body is ready it’ll help.

Squats Squats Squats or walking up and down stairs. Once the contractions start don’t stop moving
Lunges or squats really help!
I used Castrol oil and juicy juice, and squats and stairs, but all my babies came super fast though except 1, out of 5!! It was my 5th!!

Sex works because of the orgasms!! When having an orgasm, your stomach muscles contract, along with so many other muscles of course, which induces actual contractions. Not always but if you’re close it’ll probably help it along. Especially if you’re having multiple 
My oldest was overdue. We had s*x and I went into labor an hour later
Pineapples. Raspberry leaf tea with pineapple and cranberry juice. Super yummy cold. Lots of walking, yoga ball. Please do not do castor oil. It’s dangerous. Have a safe and speedy delivery and recovery!

You can try the activating labor video on YouTube. It’s just exercise but it encourages baby to move lower into the pelvis, and encourages dilation. Also try some spicy food and rocking & rolling your hips on a yoga ball. Just find ways to keep your pelvis open. If you don’t have a ball, go on your hands & knees on the floor or bed & rock your hips back & forth. You can also try some curb walking. But also don’t wear yourself out, too much can just stress you out & make you tired, you don’t want to be exhausted while in labor, it’s exhausting enough. Also should add this will only help if baby & your body are ready!
Honestly the easiest least complex with no issue delivery was the only baby i didn’t rush out “ they will come when they are ready” its safer for mom snd baby to let them stay in their as long as possible !!! I know how hard that is to hear ive had four babies but i lost my first they come when they are ready PS seriouly if
You are getting an epidural look up cerebral spinal fluid leak group on facebook worst mistake i ever made in my life im 100 percent bed bound its been seven years wheel chairs ect due to csf leak take years to get diagnosis and then years more to grt treatment join a group and find out whats the best options systems so you can catch early how to recover what need to be done to get a blood patch to stick and not break “ huge theirs only five main surgeons in the USA that do the repair thats it not one in my entire state “!! Insurance wont pay for out of state care that will not allow an impatient to impatient transfer from hospital to hospital !!

A little poke and tickle from the hubby will do the trick. Enjoy a few minutes together one last time before you’re both too tired to play.

Whatever you do don’t use castor oil. It brings on labor and severe pain which can last over 24 hours
I’m not sure if there’s any truth to it, but apparently eating fresh pineapple can help
Yes walking yes sex to if can handle
Walk until you can’t anymore that’s what does for me Everytime!
Don’t recommend Castro oil. Seen a cousin do it with 2 of her babies. It worked yes but a messy mess when in labor. Her last one she had him at home cause the dr side she was 39 weeks he’d see her next week. She n her husband delivered baby on her bed before firefighters git there
Baby # 2 the membrane sweep worked for me
Baby #3 it didnt but sex did
Spicy food and a long walk worked for me!
We took rides over very bumpy roads. Did about 30 minutes. I started labor that might.

Watch the first X-men movie 
It’s a running joke in our friends group, but it has worked for each of us lol. (Purely coincidental though lol.)
Swimming did the trick for me. My other 2 were a little stubborn lol
I ate some curry and bounced on my big ball!
Nipple stimulation or anything that will give you diarrhea… however, if baby is not ready, contractions won’t last.
Rassberry yea I swear by it with all 3 my kids x
make sure u have the big O with the sex. it helps tell ur uterus to contract. the swimmers just help thinning the cervix. and do alot of squats
Castor oil and orange juice. Worked overnight for me
Dancing and hard house work.
You can’t jumpstart God’s perfect timing! Get some rest!!! Congratulations!
Get your partner to take you for a long drive down a bumpy dirt road
Chances are your labour will speed up
if u can handle it castor oil in cool aid and then walk does work , but will also put you into the bathroom.

Your baby will only come when ready . You have to produce a harmony that starts your labour so leave well alone and you will go naturally
Get your ankles rubbed,.it’s a trigger point. Has worked for me everytime
