I’m 38 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child and I would like to start doing some walking to see if labor progresses. I am not in labor right now, but last week I was dilated 1 cm, not much but its something. Did walking help you start labor? How was the start of labor, was it painful right away????

last week when i went to my doctor i was a tight one centimeter dilated. i’m getting to the point where i’m pretty uncomfortable when i lie down. and i worry that something may go wrong and i won’t really know about it because she’s still in there. i’m kinda stressed out sometimes. i don’t want her eto get so big that it will be harder on me to give birth or recover afterword. plus, i want this lovely baby to come on out and meet me. i’ve only got 9 days until my due date, but i’d like to speed things up. i’ve looked into some ways to induce labor, but i want some input from you. do you know of any ways that have actually worked? thanks
