40+ weeks and desperate to start labour...

[Sella]

Hi all,
It was my due date yesterday, my 3rd baby and I was sure I would have had her by now (last 1 6 days early).
I know they are all different but I'm SOOO ready now, any advice? Have tried walking and even sex (sort of!!!) really want to get on with this now.

Not much you can do really!! Just keep upright if you can and relax!!!

Easy to say I know but you need to conserve your energy for labour.

Nothing you can do to start it off - none of the wives tales work so you're better off resting than messing with your system with pineapple/curries etc

Baby WILL come - when it's properly cooked.

I've got 2 weeks to go so I expect you to come back on here when I am going mad and remind me of what I said!!

thanks, think I had a show this morning so fingers crossed!

Good luck - hope it happens soon.

My mother's friend is a reflexologist and she suggested pinching/massaging the inside of your big toes as this relates to your uterus. I did this, coupled with sniffing clary sage oil, and DS2 was born 12 hours later. Could have been coincidence, but may move things along for you!!

hmmm sounds interesting! Going for a nice long(ish) walk soon so if nothing happens then I'll give it a go!
