First time mums- when did you go into spontaneous natural labour?

I have an induction scheduled for next week 41+3 that I really don’t want!!

I’ll be 40+5 tomorrow so a few more days for it to hopefully naturally kick off but definitely concerned I might be looking at induction which can lead to other interventions which is not my ideal plan but I am aware I need to be flexible.

Things I’m trying: • Pregnancy massage • Acupuncture today and on Sunday evening • Daily walks • Bouncing on my ball/hip movements • Squating • Doing things that make me happy like cooking and being in the sun • I’ve got a stretch & sweep scheduled for 41 weeks - should I try do one earlier? • considering sex lol

Thanks
