Hello,

I am 6 days overdue and getting thoroughly fed up and anxious. Anybody got any ideas on how to get me started?

I've tried:

Spicey Food
Bumpy Car Jouney
Raspberry Tea

Help, I feel like I am going to pop!!!

sex , orgasm , nipple stim and bouncing on a gym ball

baby comes when he/she is ready..if your family tend to have 'late' babies, more chacne you will go to 41 - 42 weeks !!

some babies need to cook longer!

38 - 42 week is normal range and EDD , is just that, estimated due date.....chill, relax and wait ....! easier said than done !

exercise?
acupuncture?

I was 12 days late. I had acupuncture on the tuesday afternoon, did a spinning class wednesday morning and gave birth wednesday evening.

Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions, I like the sound of orgasms .

I was a day early with my first so I guess I am just being really impatient with this one.

I was early with my first too SH27 but 13 days late with the second. Such a lovely birth though compared to DS's early arrival that I'm pleased DD waited until she did.

I was very lucky with both my pregnancies and I was able to exercise right through with both of them and I didn't put on much weight at all. I felt great both times, better than when i'm not pregnant.

Nipple stimulation with a breast pump? One side at a time, for up to an hour. It gave me contractions when I was doing it but didn't put me into actual labour. I was 4 cms dilated when I went in to be induced though, so it must have done something! Will keep you occupied for a bit too!

I tried everything and then on day 14 of being O/D dh read on the www about nipple stimulation. I was so fed up and desperate and just screamed at him "well bloody do it then" after about 10 minutes I think I shoved him out of the way and told him I was going to sleep. 3 hours later I wet the bed (actually my waters broke) so it worked for me as 23 hours later ds was in my arms.

I did that last week Pesme, I booked to have my highlights done and was convinced I wouldn't make it. I then sat through the appointment with the foils in convinced my waters would break!

But here I am a week later still waiting!
