What did you do in the early stages of labor? Did walking help you progress?

I’m a FTM, 37w+3d. I went to OB yesterday who said that in the past three days (needed a cervical exam last week for something else) that I dilated from a 1-2.5cm, am over 80% effaced and about a -1 station. After yesterday’s exam I had my bloody show (true bloody show not spotting). I’ve been having contractions over the past week or so, not regular but definitely picking up in frequency. I’ve seen a lot of people on here talking about exercise and walking to “induce” labor. Just wanted to hear some anecdotal evidence about whether walking or exercise helped you progress or if it didn’t!
