Answer 10

as all the others have said, walk...

when you are in labor at the hospital and slowly progressing they have you walk to speed it up. if you have lost your mucus plug it shouldnt be long, it was a few days with my 3rd child after i lost the mucus plug.

walk. walk, walk,

Answer 11

If you've lost your plug, you're on your way. Hate to be so bold but s*x might just do the trick.

Answer 12

There is nothing you need to do. Your due date is an estimate only, not a target. Babies are born in a range of time. Waiting until your body goes into labor automatically will assure you that your baby is completely ready and that your body is also ready to give birth. Most healthy babies are born naturally ten days after the estimated due date. More labor signs to watch for on the link below. Best wishes, G
