Well done minipop! Love her name!

wasnt it juicy's birthday yesterday?

yes it was! think she just turned um... 20?????

So who is still waiting?

Congrats minipop!

JuicyLucy is - she's having accupuncture today and will probably be mainlining blue cohosh if still not in labour by saturday

where do you get blue cohosh??

Sex tick
Acupuncture tick
Curry tick (in about an hour)
Pineapple (will the juice do??)

Am now bloody desperate and am even considering doing a handstand - just don't ask where that gem came from... would like a baby before I turn 50!!!

poor you JL come on baby jl it's time you were here fo mommy.

Congratulations minipop. Beautiful name. xxx

JL - see TYG's post earlier - she took it...

"Hello. Just about to write birth story/ announcement.

Just to let you know, I think Blue Cohosh is the "herbal" version and Caulophyllum is the "homeopathic" version and I thin that makes a difference to the dosage. As it's quite potent, I found it hard to get hold of. I got it from Neals Yard, the 30th potency of it. There is a 200th potency, but tbh, I'd be afraid of it.

I took 2 caulophyullum 30 every 4 hours or so whilst up and about on Tues eve and all day Thurs. LG&T is sure it's the reason for the fast labour. It was fast, but VERY intense. I doubt it actually induces labour - I think it's more of a "if you're ready it makes things happen" kind of thing. You can order caulophyullum online if you have time. "

JL, this is what I did last fri and it started everything off.

Went on my hands and knees and cleaned the kitchen floor.

Then went for a walk around Victoria Park.

Then on all fours on a beanbag for a couple of hours.

Ate a very large Dominos pizza - am sure this is what did it!

Lots of luck.

Just popping in to sympathise with Juicy and to have a stern word with that little Pod of hers.

Cmon baby juicy!!

JL that probably explains why you didn't get the other email - its the only address I have for you so please resend the other one!

Thanks Girls. Off for a scan (and am hoping to find a MW willing to give me a sweep!), then it's off to Neals Yard to find the Blue Cohosh. Will be doing as much walking as I can today to try and get things moving. 2 more days for him to make an appearance of his own accord.

Hope it goes well this aft Juicy...

CTG monitoring was fine. Lots of kicks from his Lordship.

Cervix is still posterior. PANTS!!!!

Now have a tincture including Blue Cohosh, so will see how it goes over the next 2 days.

Hi Juicylucy.... that you are still waiting....fingers crossed you'll have your bub by the end of the weekend!

congrats to everyone else....have been off having Emily (by c-section, hence the queue jump!) and there is loads to catch up on here and on my June thread!

Big bad labour vibes for Juicy!!

Hi JL,

I was also posterior and still went into labour.

Really hope something works for you this weekend.

JL - my cx was only pronounced "half ready" 14 hours before I went into labour. I'm sure LG&T told me that her cx was posterior when she had her DD just hours before she went into labour.

Fingers crossed for you. x

Thanks for the posts girls. I've just been for a 2 hour walk post CTG (which was once again fine). Now knackered and just about to have some more of my fab tincture (yuk) and a big mug of raspberry leaf tea before I tuck into a big fat pineapple. You can't say I haven't tried!

Fingers crossed my cervix / uterus will get the message and swing into action tonight.

Good luck sweetie. I really, really hope it happens for you tonight. x

Good Luck Juicy......thinking of you hun!

Fingers crossed for you JL. xxx

Any news?!

JL went in this morning and has had one gel which appears to be working - she is still on the antenatal ward....

Thanks befnal, watching this space, keep us posted. Good luck Jucy. xxx
