40 weeks tomorrow...I am so bored of waiting!!!!

[babloogirl]

It doesn't look like labour is about to start, I do have period pains now and then but nothing regular...

I am so bored of waiting, any ideas on what I could do?

Thank god DH is off work tomorrow at least I will have some company and someone to moan to :)

Enjoy the peace?

Rest?

Orgasm?

I have been enjoying the peace and resting for the past 5 weeks...

as for orgasm, when you are the size of a whale it can be quite tricky

41+4 today........ better prepare yourself to be more bored!! Get on your birthing ball, once 40 weeks passes with no birth it all gets a bit military (walking/birthing ball/curry/sex)! I found after a good long walk is when I felt the most 'action' down there, gravity is your friend! A lot of ladies have mentioned aquanatal classes too. Good luck hope you don't wait as long as me! Is it baby no 1?

Ah but not if flying solo

It is indeed baby number one, we have been having curry's for the past few nights, been walking in town as well.

I don't have a birthing ball, does it really help?

lots of sex. worked for me every time.

RE birthing ball...

Mines a yoga ball same thing im told, I think it works. I find it comfortable to sit on. Now im so huge sitting in a chair is not comfy which means I end up laying down (no gravity doing that!) most importantly its the position it makes you sit in... youve got your pelvis as open as far as it goes so babies head 'should' put pressure on your cervix. Add a bit of a bounce/gentle rocking...!

A friend recommended it to me as she swears that her baby 'dropped' as a result of doing this, I dropped to 3/5 engaged once i started...maybe it helped maybe it didnt. I dont know about you but walking any significant distance wears me out and I do get worried about being too tired when labour starts so the ball for me is an alternative.

Also the same friend went into labour 2 hours after sex! Hasnt worked for me so far but lots of people swear by it!

Hiya I'm 41 weeks today so feel your pain!

I'm 41 +1 and have just had a good bounce on the ball to this song! :D

Come back when you reach 40+15 and then tell me you're sick of waiting, 40 weeks seemed like a distant memory by the time I got that far in!
