[tinks76]

Hi all this is the 1st time i have used this site.Been reading about mums 2 b eating pineapple & curry,Sex,walking etc i tried these when i was 1 day over due with my 1st 9 nyears ago she came the next day coincidence i think so. Now i am 7 days over with my 2nd have tried everything ate fresh pineapple 1 a day for 9 days nothing has worked.Had sex 6 days in a row nothing.Only thing i haven't tried is castor oil don't really want to.Ate 2 chillis with my curry.Sat having a Gin & Tonic got lot's of movement if it works it is just coincidence because my baby is overdue.Haven't had any niggles so it is a case baby will come when baby is ready i hate when people say that but starting to think it is true.Trying to think posotive.

Hi Tinks, stay positive, you'll get there!!

I went two weeks overdue doing all of the above, you're doing the right thing. It's all about the prostaglandin hormone making the uterus and cervix, kick into gear and apparently that only appears in male semen and that nasty induction gel which I had to have.

It might sound crazy but do something that relaxes you, whatever that is, music, massage, sex, whatever and imagine yourself going into labour really visualise it and try and use all your senses to remember the smells, feeling, sounds etc and do a trial run in your head, I've heard it can work... worth a try anyhow. good luck.
