I know it's not quiet our due date, which is Thursday. I'm hoping that the LO will come today or tomorrow, as I don't want to be in the hospital any longer than I have to.

Have tried "Don't you want to see the snow?" "Lot's of people are waiting to meet you?" "Are you not as fed up of this lying about as I am?"

Have also tried bouncing on he birthing ball and waving a can of Irn-bru at the bump alas to no avail.

Ps I know anything can happen once in hospital but am hoping for a straight forwad vb.

Try "Whatever you do, baby, don't you DARE arrive tomorrow. I have got shed loads to do and I really don't have the time."

DS2 arrived on the only day our arranged childcare for DS1 was busy :)

Buy some expensive theatre tickets, that'll do it Grin
Good luck anyway!

Agree with being busy, both mine arrived on days I had plans

Have sex and make theatre/cinema/dinner plans.

I had my DD on Easter Saturday and was out of the hospital on Easter Sunday, though so a birth over the weekend mightn't mean you have to be in there too long (if that's what you were thinking)
