Ok, so this is my first baby. I was really relaxed about the due date which came and went but now I feel this is getting a bit ridiculous. My bump has grown so big it is now stupidly uncomfortable. It hurts to walk, sit, lie down etc. I have tried everything to get this going. Hot curry, sex, pineapple, clarey sage oil, reflexology (3 times!), long walks, jogging and at my midwife appointment last Thursday I had a stretch and sweep. She said I was 1 1/2cm dilated then but that my cervix was posterior (and needs to be anterior). Up until then I'd had some period type pains and irregular braxton hicks. Last night I was getting very regular braxton hicks (about every 20-30 mins). Is this a good sign or does it mean nothing? I've actually decided to go to our local point to point today for something to do as I'm going stir crazy waiting for something to happen! Anyone else in the same boat or have any idea when this baby might come?
