Spicy food, sex, squatting (head puts more force on cervix). is all i can think of.

| just wanted to add i sympathise with your friend, i know how frustrating and boring the end of pregnancy can be , the novelty of being pregnant has worn off, i went 8 days over and thought i would never give birth, maybe you should also mention that instead of running about trying all these different things she should get lots of rest too, cos when the babies here she probably wont get much ! |

We covered this last night at antenatal class. The teacher said nipple stimulation has probably the best effect You have to do it for 20mins every couple of hours though. Even in America (very pro medical) recommends this.------------- http://lilypie.com">   http://lilypie.com">
