If you due date is past and you want to bring on delivery, try walking. When you walk, you may be helping the baby get into a lower position which happens before birth. Make sure a partner joins you for the walk. Stay away from harmful methods though, like contact exercising.

Create a nightly routine that will work for you. This can help you sleep better, which is sometimes difficult to do during pregnancy.
