I've read so much about it helping you go into labor and just curious to get some real-life reviews on it : )

No never used it. Walking and staying active helps and sex, bouncing on the pilaties ball. But I wouldn't do anything yet, since you are only 37 weeks.
Stay strong...good luck!!Chat Icon

I didn't use it but friend did - she was a week or so late. I think it may have brought on her labor, but she didn't realize it. She said she was sitting on the toilet, in pain, trying to "go" for a really long time. She finally called the dr who said "Yeah, you may want to come in - I think you are having this baby."

I've heard it's not a really great way to get your labor moving, but I have heard there may be some success with it. But personally, I don't think I'd try it - it doesn't sound pleasant.Chat Icon

I havent tired it either... If you're only 37 weeks, def wait it out another week or so, but I think a pedicure working on the pressure points works. Did for me. LOL

Didn't do it, and heard bad things about it. If you are only 37 weeks you still have plenty of time.
