I have worked with midwives in the past who SWEAR anytime they arrived for a homebirth delivery, there was an empty take-out pizza box in the garbage??? How about accupressure?? Have you ever heard of spleen 6? An accupressure point on the inner ankle-about 3 fingerbreadths above inner ankle bone. Massage in towards the shin with constant firm pressure. Who knows, your body is ready, but baby has not yet decided on his/her birthday-they definitely have their own agendas even from the beginning! Best of luck to you!
