I am due my second in 3 days according to my scans although according to my last period I should've been due 2 days ago.... I am so fed up!!!

Anyone have any ways that helped them get going? I've tried the usual pineapple, sex, curry etc.

Ps I don't want to hear "the baby will come when it's ready" I already know this!

Erm. You know nothing works but you want suggestions anyway?

Er...

Have you tried unicycling? Or eating fish fingers? Or both?

A normal pregnancy is 37-42 days so chances are you'll give birth within 10 days or so. Do whatever makes you happy and comfortable in the meantime.

I'm 7 days over. Unfortunately what got my last Labour going at 34 weeks was a severe case of pre eclampsia and a syntocinon drip! So I'm trying to look on the positive side this time.
Honestly the old wives tales are just that. A specific mix of hormones kick starts labour and that isn't affected by bouncing on balls, curry etc.
My midwife said keeping active and sex etc can help if you're already favourable but it generally is just a waiting game.
