Average rating:
Going for a walk can help to produce labour-inducing chemicals, which can really speed things up.
Walking also increases the pressure the baby's head puts on the cervix and helps to get it into the right position for labour. This is one of the safest methods to try - there's no harm in having a gentle stroll, but make sure you take a mobile phone or have someone with you in case it works!
