Okay, nothing will work until your body is ready, so I wouldn't even bother with the TENS machine, coffee, etc. Your body doesn't work that way.
Walking is good for other reasons and *can* help prep your body for labor. So can sex, because of hormones in semen. Same with nipple stimulation. Honestly, though, you can drive yourself nuts trying to start it :)
I know, I'm just so desperate to try anything to get it here before the weekend so my brother can meet the wee bub before he goes on tour again. If its not here by Sat he wont and I know I will be in floods of tears at the thought of it. There's a lot of history with my brother and Afghanistan and we nearly lost him in 2006 so I dread him returning there and not making it back to meet his neice or nephew.
I know I shouldn't think like that but the mind plays awful tricks eh?
The TENS didn't trigger anything but it sure helped with the tension and pain in my back and I had a cracking nights sleep :)
I understand how much you want it, I do, but I don't want you to drive yourself nuts trying to have control over something that just isn't in your control.
My brother-in-law still hasn't made it back from New Zealand to meet my son and my son is four, so...this is how these things go!
