Overdue and fed up

I’m 4 days overdue which I known isn’t a lot but I’m desperate to go into labour naturally as I really really don’t want to be induced. I’ve tried everything- walks, birthing ball, sex, curry, raspberry tea, clary sage oil in the bath! I’ve got no signs at all- no mucus plug loss, no loose stools, no regular cramps at all. I do feel some mild cramps in my lower abdomen but maybe one or twice a day, and that’s it. Don’t know what else to do! Due at the midwife tomorrow so will accept a sweep if offered but part of me thinks that won’t bloody work either.
I’ve also been trying to collect colostrum all week as I won’t be breastfeeding, and nothings happening there either. My body has just decided to be completely uncooperative and it’s getting me down.

I'm overdue and fed up again Grin

DS is the best thing ever. Bloody hell the tantrums are hard work, but he's so cute and funny and sweet. Likes to force me and DP to kiss my smashing our faces together. Obsessed with all things that go, particularly fire engines and trains and diggers.

Ahhh @addler that's great news although not the Overdue and Fed up bit again! Hope all goes well. Our second is due early April.

Its a real whirlwind isnt it. The tantrums I find infuriating and relentless however she is the kindest, sweetest little thing which make up for the less fun bits!

Life with 2 feels a little mind-blowing at the moment.

Oh my god I totally forgot this was my old thread! I’m bleachblondemom 😂
My almost two year old is doing great thanks, although the tantrums are difficult 😩 we should have actually had another one by now but we lost him earlier this year, everything’s ok though.
Im going to read back through and see what we all had to say to each other 😅

@LuckyMoonstone I'm so sorry about your boy Flowers

Today's tantrum is brought to you by: I moved my foot. DS was enraged by this. I moved my foot back. This was also wrong. He wanted to move my foot back, I should have known that. But now my foot was already back, and therefore he couldn't move it back himself. So I moved it again for him. Of course, this was Very Wrong.

He was up for three hours in the night as well, I think he had a nightmare as he kept pointing to a corner of his room sobbing and saying the same incoherent word over and over. Then just wouldn't sleep again! Why has his sleep gone to shit right before the baby comes?! Sad
