With my 1st and 2nd I walked at least 5 miles the days that I went into labor.[/quote]

Yup this.

Per the advice of my acupuncturist, I also talked out loud to the baby. 
“I’m ready for you. You have a clean bed, clothes, and I wiped out the fridge. I bought you diapers yesterday!”

It was very cathartic, and my acupuncturist said that the baby will not come until it knows and feels that you are completely ready. I was surprised when I was walking and talking how much I let go of any of my internal worries. It is one of my fondest memories, walking and walking for miles and miles talking to my precious baby.[/quote]

This is so stupid. [/quote]

DP here and agree it wouldn’t have worked for me. But it helped the original poster cope and so was not dumb at all for her.
+1 That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

My 2nd kid came in the middle of a move, on top of a stressful job situation  and some family issues going on...none of this "baby will not come until it knows and feels you are completely ready" mumbo-jumbo.[/quote]

+2. I was ready way before 41w when I finally had to get induced and had a traumatic induction and emergency c. Sometimes your body and your baby do not, in fact, know what's best [/quote][/quote]
