Hi everyone, I'm new to this as you may be able to tell! But i am currently 40+4 days pregnant with my first baby and feeling very impatient and fed up!! Me and hubby just want to have our little boy in our arms and getting very fed up with waiting now. I have been trying EVERYTHING to try and bring him along sooner.. sex, curries, walking loads, warm baths, raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil and pineapple.. but nothing seems to be working!! I also went for a sweep two days ago however my midwife was unable to do the sweep as she couldn't reach my cervix. Apparently it was too high up. This didn't really make me feel very confident that he would be making an appearance any time soon! Does anyone else have any suggestions as to what I can do to help speed things along? Last week I had a day where I had constant dull period pains which got me all excited as I thought it was the start of something, and then they just went :( These pains came back again this morning for a couple of hours and then went again.. so feeling a little confused as to what's happening and getting worried as I don't particularly want to end up having to be induced or having a c-section! Also very concerned that the more overdue I go, the bigger baby will be.. is this how it works?
Any advice would be really appreciated!! 😊
