Love a vindaloo? Then get dialling and order in your favourite spicy dish because it could mean you'll be holding your baby that bit sooner. There's no scientific evidence to prove that this actually works, but the theory is that it stimulates the gut and bowel which gets the womb moving as a result.
Some mums swear by it but bear in mind, going into labour with a full stomach might not be the best of ideas - especially if you're not usually good with spicy food! If you don't want to risk a takeaway, try some of our homemade curry recipes - they're healthier too.
