Bouncing on a birthing ball to induce labour... Tips?

[MrsClark24]

Anyone know what you're supposed to do exactly on a birthing ball to try to induce labour? At the moment I'm just sat on it for 5 or 10min just bouncing up and down and rocking my hips forward.

Anyone know what you're supposed to do and how long for? Baby is still super high and giving me grief with breathing still :-/ just need her to move!!

Anyone got any tips?

things I can think of right now is moving your hips into figures of eight, bouncing up and down, rocking backwards, forwards and side to side.. not to induce labour, but to make sure baby moves down. it's what i'm doing right now

The only thing that has ever helped me get baby to move down and go into labour is curb walking, one foot on the curb of the footpath one in the gutter. It's worked for me and a number of friends, looks silly isn't that comfy but seems to get things moving.
