Things your OB/midwife told you to get things movin' (labor)

Thought it might be nice to share all the tips and tricks our OBs/midwives have told us to try to get our bodies ready for labor. Particularly the 2+ moms!

For me my OB told me:

1. To buy evening primrose oil and use it as a lubricant during sex (do not use a condom). The semen along with the oil work to soften your cervix and get it ready for labor

2. Walk walk and walk.

Anyone else?
