EDD+6 today. No real sign of anything happening - no show, occasional twinges but that's probably just baby punching my bladder and hip bones. Feels like I'm sitting on a cannonball. Have tried everything - chiropractic, acupressure, pineapple, curry, long walks, bouncing on my gym ball, squatting, climbing up and down stairs sideways... you name it. Fed up of my mother calling several times every day (does she think we would not tell her when things start?!) and MIL laughing every time I ring her to tell her nothing's happening. Have now given up trying to get this baby to turn up - but even that hasn't worked. Staring down the barrel of the threat of induction being scheduled next Tuesday - either that or a sweep. Strangely neither of these options appeal to me massively.After all the work I've done this time round to ensure that baby is head down and presenting properly (unlike DS who was back to back), I really REALLY don't want to be backed into an induction corner - I so want a better labour experience this time round. With all my sacroiliac issues the last thing I want is to be horizontal and attached to drips and needles again... sob sob.
4yr old DS was horribly sick yesterday, and GP diagnosed viral gastritis this morning - does sod's law now dictate that the baby will turn up today?!
Clutching at straws.... and totally fed up. Going out for another walk now to pick up a bag of cat litter and a loaf of bread....
