Right,

I am 38+4 and have quite frankly had enough and want baby out, so looking for any tips any of you may have.

I can't have Raspberry Leaf Tea / Tablets as I have a very sensitive stomach due to being a coeliac!

Im tempted to walk round the house doing lunges just to try and get baby to drop down, as of Friday babys head was resting in the brim of pelvis.

So come on ladies, give it to me!

Let your baby come when it's ready! That's my advice. Even though I'd love mine out now too at just 32 weeks as I feel so vile and under the weather.

I know it's frustrating but all the old wives tales in the world aren't gonna make your baby come until he/she is ready.

Last weeks of pregnancy are rubbish. Worst case scenario you have another three and a half weeks, that's no time at all!

Orgasms, any way you can get em!

chocolatebunnies · 11/05/2009 13:07

Orgasms ay . . . hmmmmm . . . . might see if DH can come home!!!!

This is my 2nd and I foolishly thought that it would all happen alot quicker this time!

Im just so damn uncomfortable and am getting quite sick of this burning pain in the top left hand side of my bump, its not heartburn, as I have that as well!

And lunge to the left and lunge to the right and squat . . . . .

I've tried everything (apart from castor oil).
Have been taking 2000 mgs orally and 2000 mgs EPO internally since 37 weeks, curries, walking, Caulyphylum 200 occasionally, sex every other day, orgasms (as many as I can get , acupressue, reflexology, RLT and clary sage in my bath and massaged into my tummy, plus drops on my pillow. Nothing has worked or moved me further on. I am only 1 cm dilated and not effaced.
Both my girls were born at 37 weeks and were good weights. I'm 40 weeks today! What happened! I'm petrified I might have to be induced

Sex,honey and walking(indoors) worked for me. My doctor told me to eat lots of honey when my baby was at term for a quick delivery.

cloveofhislife · 11/05/2009 19:13

honey? any idea why?

creamcaramella · 11/05/2009 23:25

Honestly i have no idea. But i was desperate and did eat lots of it. I just imagined i was winnie the pooh. and went into labor a few days later.

I think any sort of physical exertion helps things along. I did a huge pile of ironing the night my waters broke!

chocolatebunnies · 12/05/2009 10:47

I've been playing on the Wii Fit to try and wiggly it out!

My husband suggested we go and jump on the bed when I was 1 week overdue. I thought he was being cheeky and meant something else so I rushed upstairs to find out he actually meant use the bed as a trampoline to get things moving!
I woke up the next morning in labour!

I do think babies only arrive when they are ready though...hang in there.

OK this might all just be coincidence but here's our story. My NCT group was and is lovely - it's a year on now! - but we found that hanging around with new babies made more babies put in an appearance. I had a sweep on Saturday, went to a picnic with three new babies on the Sunday, baby arrived on Monday. Also I took a friend out for the afternoon a week before she was due and my little one screamed the entire 30 minute journey to the cafe in the car - her waters broke two hours later as we had tea and cake, baby arrived three hours after that....so my advice is hang around other babies - especially loud ones. It's all encouragement for the little blighters to put in an appearance.

i have tried rasp leaf tea ( a whole box), curry, pineapple and sex and dc2 is still in situ.

when you find the secret let me know.....
