Hello,

I'm 39 weeks today with my second baby. I've currently done nothing to naturally induce labour other than bounce on my birth ball (when I can be bothered).

With my 1st baby, I was so consumed by the thought that I had to take/do all the usual things (eating dates, raspberry leaf tea, clary sage, sex etc) you name it, to go into labour to end up being medically induced at 41+ 5 days anyway.

I was so disheartened when nothing seemed to work that this time I want to be more relaxed and wait it out I guess.

Just wondered if anyone else did the same and ended up naturally going into labour?
