i was gonna say (before i got derailed, laughing my arse off), do you have one of those big exercise balls? you can do your squats on one of those, makes it easier imo.
quite the image I left you with, huh?
So, do the squat onto the ball, or bounce on the ball? There are some downstairs in the exercise room. I figured I could do 30 mins on the treadmill and then some exercise ball stuff too.

Still taking my evening primrose oil, had a glass of wine last night, DH gave me a massage and used some of the pressure points and then I forced him into sex.  My cervix just ain't ripening.
Speaking of non-stress tests-- what exactly happens at them???
Is wine supposed to help bring on labor? And what do you do with primrose oil? I'm only 35 weeks but once I hit 38 or 39 weeks I want to start getting things going so I'm not late.
And like others said, the non-stress test is nothing. You just get hooked up to some monitors. All external stuff.

you do the squat while sitting on the ball. it takes the pressure off your quads/glutes while still accomplishing the task of helping baby descend. or at least that's the theory... i'm skeptical about what *really* helps bring on labor, but it can't hurt...
