Eh congrats on your first baby! Honestly, a few of us mums tried different things, long walks, eating dates, spicy food, but timing contraction really depends on your body je, so best to follow your doctor's advice on when to come in rather than forcing it. Some friends swear by relaxing and letting it happen naturally, tapi ramai juga yang ended up being induced anyway and it's totally normal! Maybe join some November baby groups online, sure ramai lagi same due date as you, and they love sharing their stories. How you feeling now, any signs yet?
