just wondering if anyone has any tips to get baby to move down lower? my dp is going to be away the week before I am due so my Ob is happy to induce me 2 days before he leaves as long as everything is ready to go. At this point the baby is still still sitting quiet high so need her to move down

If I am reading this correctly, you still have 2 weeks before you would be induced?

Walking through the water at the pool. Do a few walking laps. Dont lie around too much. I was induced with baby higher up. She moved down in labour
