Strong BHs, suddenly loads of colostum appearing, backache and I've booked my shopping to be delivered on Thursday, my due date. Do you think I've tempted fate enough?

come on baby!

my DH sighed when he got in from work in a "not again" way when I looked at him and said "no signs"

Do you have any clary sage? I can post you the remainder of my bottle tomorrow if you like (offer applies to anyone if expat doesn't want it- can't see myself being desperate to burn that stuff ever again!)

what do you do with clary sage? whiff it? put it in the bath?

i've got rosemary oil. head that's supposed to help.

ate a soup loaded with it yesterday.

it did nowt.

midwife remarked, 'he's awfully comfortable in there.'

I put it in the bath and buurned it in an oil burner. Did absolutely FA for me but you never know eh?

Hi guys, I've been keeping an eye on this thread, just thought I'd say hi & good luck.

Ref Clary Sage it worked for me.. I was having the odd contraction, put it in the bath & then I started to have really strong regular contractions. Though the smell of the stuff did make me feel sick, at least it got the baby out. I was 41+1, living in Germany & determined not to be induced..

There wasn't anything I wouldn't try for those last few weeks!

I used clary sage from 37weeks, in the bath, burnt it and rubbed it in and it hasnt worked.

Clary sage - I sniffed it int he last week of pg and it gave me strong bh's. So if it works for you and you use it when you are having minor contractions I wouldn't be suprised if it strengthens them.

Moving baby's head down -

Lunges with one foot on the bottom stair.

Walking up the stairs sideways.

Walking with one foot on the kerb and one on the road.

Doing figures of eight with the birthing ball.

My babies have never fully enagaged. DS was high and 2/5 engaged at 4.30 am and was born 4 hours later.

Well I've got my grapes and evening primrose oil.

Would clary sage be OK to use for a VBA2C attempt or might it put too much strain on the uterus? I've been advised against RLT.

Missed that post earlier mamag. i had both ds1 and ds2 in lanc but went back to kendal afterwards for a couple of dayswith each. Aftercare is superb. Had ds3 at 3.45pm on Monday and planned to come out on Tuesday but ended up staying in and coming out Wed instead just to get some rest. Good luck

I now officially live in North Yorkshire where 'ham is bent'. Am I right in thinking you live in a place that grows on trees?

Anything happen overnight?

I tried some evening primrose oil up my foof last night.......and..........

nothing

yooooo hoooo expat and mamag, any news?

i was awake between 3 and 5, having strong bh agains. def not contractions.

Oh God are you all still here............ bloody attention seekers!

Lol.

But seriously, any news?

Still nothing here
mum2jakeyroo I dont live far from you

one of the November ladies is off and running this morning; she's due on 3rd!

How very dare she!

Blackbird, has the sweep not had an effect then?

charlee

Nope no effect at all. Looks like it is def an induction tomorrow.

MamaG is very quiet.........

Ooh it's a bit quiet....are they having them then?

no labour.

i got some evening primrose oil, though!

mama, i hope you're in labour.

correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you swallow EP oil not shove it up your foof?

some positive visualisation for you alll...

Really blackbird - in the middle of nowhere? Induction not that bad. I've had 2 but last one in the car with no pain relief was definitely the easiest.
