Is there anyway to speed up my labor naturally?

Question by Blondie: Is there anyway to speed up my labor naturally?
I am 39 weeks 6 days pregnant tommorow is my due date. I have been having contractions since sunday off and on. I am 3 cm dilated 50 % effaced and at -2 station. I have been drinking lots of water to keep hydrated and so I know that my contractions are real and not braxton hicks. There just not getting stronger. I ve been feeling them today but they come and go I also have already use the restroom so I know thats not the reason my stomach hurts. I also just ate lunch and now I feel really nauesated like its about to come back up and i have a head ache. are these signs of labor progressing? what else can I do to help speed up the process. My doctor does not believe in stripping membranes or pitocin to help the labor.

It sounds like you are pretty close to giving birth! Try going for a walk, it will not only help you relax but it could help speed things up. When I was near my due date I went on a half mile walk and went into labor the next morning!
