No signs of labor

Hi all! I’m 39 weeks and have no signs of labor, don’t think I’ve experienced any Braxton hicks and my last appt at 37 weeks the midwife said he hasn’t dropped into my pelvis yet. I try and stay active and walk a lot, any tips on what I can do to get him to engage? I’d love for him to get here around his due date as my mom is coming over from the states and want her to be able to spend as much time with him as she can!

I tried moxibustion at 37w, 38w he finally turned even though not engaged. Also lots of walking and pineapple juice. Baby was born 38+3 last Saturday. Good luck !

In the same boat (38 weeks) I’ve been recommended to do pregnancy ball exercises

Practice pregnancy ball exercises, and even positions like elbows in knees out rocking back and forth on the floor to open up your pelvis a little bit too.

I’m currently 40+2 and I’m in the same boat had no signs of labor, they wanted to do a sweep last week but baby hasn’t dropped into the pelvis enough yet! I’ve literally done everything recommended to me from others including the midwives and he’s just not shifting 😓 I’m fed up and exhausted but just have to accept he’s gonna come when he’s ready 😅

Have a look at some exercises to get head into pelvis. There’s a few different ones such as walking up and down the stairs sideways & putting your hands on the floor and knees on the sofa. This is my 2nd and these have worked for me both times x
