39+4 tips to bring on labour

[overduemamma]

I know a lot of people will say baby will come when ready but I've been on the ball, had pineapple, had long walks and these don't seem to have done anything. Other half won't have sex as it's not right apparently. I'm so fed up, I've had a horrible pregnancy and just want to go back to feeling normal again. Any advice?! X

I feel your pain. Let me know if you find a way because I am 41+1 and no signs of labour

Last week my friend went for reflexology and had the baby hours later?

I would just enjoy your last few days of uninterrupted sleep. Or being able to leave the house without it being a pan in the arse.

Good luck for the big day

A really aggressive sweep? I tried EVERY wives tale (all on the same day and after a sweep!😂) and got no more than a few hours of contractions that then died off, eventually sweep no 4 at 41+2 did the trick and baby arrived on 41+4. Good luck!

I may have to look into the reflexology. I have a sweep booked in for Friday then Monday. I wanted to avoid them if poss and deco want to avoid induction. No rest for me as i have a 2 year old lol. X

I'm due tomorrow. Sweep booked for Monday if the baby doesn't arrive before that. I may give nipple stimulation a try tomorrow though, just to see if it does anything.

I tried that also... how long are you meant to try these things for? I never wanted to bring myself on with my first baby and he come on his due date anyway but I just want this baby out now. I've woke up a little damp this morning so I'm hoping that's a sign. X

I think a brisk walk brought it along for me, but in both cases I was overdue so I reckon I might have brought it forward a bit, but essentially the dc was ready to come both times.
I enjoyed eating lots of fresh pineapple though.

A good vacuuming of the house worked for me more than once!!

I've been for a walk and a kick about with the little un so let's see if that does anything.. if not I'm
Giving up x

Or being able to leave the house without it being a pan in the arse. -
Wouldnt this be great huh
Instead of being hpuse bound for 8 weeks due to severe PGP.

But hey sure, people that are not going through it always see "positives"

Not helpful

40+9 here and no signs.
Just accepting that it doesnt happen for some people

I have been for another walk so we shall see if anything happens over the next few hours. My pelvis is feeling very sore. If this doesn't work then I give up x

Book an event that's non refundable. Almost guaranteed to get baby out.

I tried everything. Nothing seemed of work. I nipple twiddled for hours, bounced to the moon and back on the ball. Had sex. Had numerous spicy hot foods. Nothing worked. Waters broke after I had a good night's sleep and a couple of days of doing nothing.

So I had sex lastnight and an hour later I started with contractions. They lasted about 2 1/2 hours. Had a few niggles this morning before my sweep and after my sweep but that's it so far. Midwife said my cervix is very soft and stretchy and that I am already 2cm. Fingers crossed something happens tonight on my due date :) x

Oooh things heading in the right direction then! Good luck

Ahhhh how can everything be good to go and then everything just stops?!? No pains nothing midwife really thought the sweep would of worked yesterday..

Walk sideways up and down the stairs

Is baby here yet???
