Cannot believe I am still not in labour. Have been doing all the above for 3 weeks now (am 40 weeks). Can't stand curry and cannot walk more than 100 yards!
TMI warning: Had sex last night (even had an orgasm and enjoyed it ). This was in addition to my 2nd sweep yesterday morning kindly administered by my sympathetic midwife and still BUGGER ALL.
Was told I was 3cm dilated (4th pregnancy) and cervix soft etc. Consultant at hospital who did the 1st sweep told me a week ago that he did not expect me to last until the weekend (just gone). At this rate I will end up with a c-section next week (was trying for a VBAC) just after the older DCs have started their school holidays - NICE! That means our family holiday in mid August will also be out as I will not be able to travel that soon after a c-section .
Also have SPD, scatica , nausea, extreme knackeredness and irritability (feel so sorry for the DCs - they have a mother from hell at the moment). .
Will hopefully be trying reflexology (if the bloody people will answer their phones) asap. Any other ideas??
