I was advised lots and lots of lurrrvin!!! hehehehehe Unfortunately for me, that was the last thing I wanted to do.

Just chill out and enjoy the last few days in peace and relaxing. or if you need to occupy yourself, go walking, meet up with friends or retail therapy!!!

Re: any ideas... im desprate??

I guess that You would be pretty fed up by now , and wishing that it was all over, but We all try to speed things up, and usually , nothing happens, here are a couple of things My Wife and I tried for one of our five pregnancies.

I decided that it would be a really good idea to put Angela ( My Wife ) on the back of My motorbike, and head out to the bumpiest and scariest road I could find. After hours I think I was more exhausted than Angela, and We decided to go home.

Being Both Quite desperate by this time, I came up with a really good idea.

I made a drink of orange cordial and castor oil, ( That should get things moving EH! )

During the night, Angela was up out of bed, and throwing up, ( all the way from Her toes I think, )  But still no movement, DUH !!

We gave up , and a couple of days later,along came Our son ( Laurie ).

As hard as it is , I now believe that You can't do anything to bring it on, but these days, a Doctor can medicate You and induce your Your little Miracle.

I really sympethise with You, Butr hang in and be patient,for when it all happens, You will know that it was all worth it, and sometimes people don't even remember the pain and long weary days and nights, but justenjoy your little bundle, and give love and care, which comes naturally when You first see Your Baby.

Good Luck, and many happy times When it finally happens.

Regards Mintiman1

It's true there are lots of methods (some myths, some not) to stimulate labour, but it's probably best not to push things. Many techniques can lead to more forceful (painful) contractions, longer (painful) delivery times and complications during delivery. If you have spoken to your doctor and there is no reason to speed things up, just hang tight. I know you want the baby here NOW, but it isn't worth the risks (and agony).

as a doula (someone who has participated in almost 50 births) i really think it's best to let nature take it's course and not try to speed things up.  instead, see if you can line up a list of distractions to help you get through while you are waiting--visits from old friends, etc.

I know you ore desperate and uncomfortable, but please let nature take her course. More often than not, she gets it right. Babies are not issued with calendars, so will turn up when ready! In the mean time, enjoy the quiet and the sleep. With 2 children the work load goes up quite a lot - so take it easy for as long as you still can! Good luck

Re: any ideas... im desprate??

ahh theres a 101 idea's believe me i tried most from a spoonful of codliver oil capsual dont work eyk wouldnt try it drinking rasberry juice hot currys speed bumos or rocky roads similar to horse riding but non of them worked for me untill i went out and walked i was so tired i cld have curled up and slept there and then in the supermarket it was summer here the heat was exhausting me but i knew i needed to walk to get the baby down as far as I cld before the labour and i was due to be indused the day after i was up all night walking rd the house and 7am i rang the hospital and said forget it im in labour, maybe it was luck for me but walking really does help and the further down the baby is the easier and shorter your labour. Good luck and dont go anywere alone I had my sis there and my dad to get me home

Re: any ideas... im desprate??

Yeah, my doctor said walking was the only one he could recommend!

As everyone else has said, dont rush it. Baby isnt technically overdue until you pass 42 weeks, and if you do manage to kick start labour before baby is in the correct position, you could have some problems. Best to let your body and your baby work on it while you pamper yourself with the last chance for some real "me" time for years! These two weeks (or less) will be over so soon! If this is your first, then be aware that most babies natually arrive to first time mums in the middle of week 41! Pace yourself for that and the next few days wont be quite so frustrating.

By the way, they say that babies are due at 40 weeks preggers, but really that's just an estimate. They can turn up safely any time from 36 to 42 weeks, 40 is just the average. So don't panic about due dates unless you're approaching 42 weeks and there's still no sign of arrival.

Re: any ideas... im desprate??
Hi honey,

Please don't be in such a hurry . .  Let nature take it course naturally. . .  You bub will let you know when she is ready to come, right now she is probably preparing for just that. . . sometimes Dr's need to intervene but they prefer not to as natural is always the best and is far less stressful the the baby.

May I ask why you are so desperate? ? ?

Cheers Kellz

Re: any ideas... im desprate??
Yeah, besides, while bubby is still there, you don't have to feed her, change her nappies, wake up to her every three hours, cart her around in a pram loaded down with spare nappies and baby wipes and everything else under the sun. She's warm, comfortable, well fed, and totally portable. Not to mention, birth is painful. Why would you want to rush into that! LOL

Re: any ideas... im desprate??

She will come when she is ready, and I sure as hell would not recommend riding a horse! In fact, if you're preggers at all, any responsible horse owner will not let you on one.

There's no guaranteed way of speeding it up without medical intervention - ie: inducing it. Though there are a lot of fun and interesting - and some not so pleasant - old wives tales about ways to do it. They won't work, but some could be fun trying. LOL
