Good luck! Unfortunately, they only seem to come out when they are good and ready! I was 10 days overdue and had the worst possible timing in the world ( both Mums in town only for 1 day ) when my waters broke and I went into labour! MIL and Mum both stayed through the next 37 hours! I had tried EVERYTHING to induce labour, but she came when she was good and ready! We had to be in  town a week prior to due date and we were about to be kicked out of our temporary accommodation as she was overdue...so the pressure was on! It was the first night we had organised to go out for dinner when my waters broke! Just as we were about to leave for dinner!  I ended up at hospital then went out for dinner! My Mum had previously told me to try cod liver oil, Raspberry Leaf tea and other concoctions! I tried the tea but the cod liver oil made me gag before I could even get it close to my mouth! I walked a million miles in the middle of the build up ( 37 degrees plus) trying to get things going, but nada until she was ready! Try anything to relax you...massage, accupuncture or accupresure by a REPUTABLE practioner, sex, warm baths or showers... GOOD LUCK, Hope the action starts sooner rather than later! 

 Hi Karleigh, 

I hear that pineapple juice is good and they say try squatting, the stretching motion should help. 

Hope the birth goes well.

Peace, Hannah

I tried everything too. A great grandma told me that you get so sick of being pregnant so that when the time comes you are prepared to do the work because you want that baby out. Otherwise women would stay pregnant or not be willing to do the hard work of labour.

Its a fact that we appreciate things we work hard for. Pregnancy is hard work. You being over being pregnant is a sign you are both getting ready.

Good Luck I remember just how long those last few weeks can be.

Have you tried lavendar scented candles, flowers, potpurri and the scented spray. I have heard that this can cause labour. Also my partner has suggested that maybe have your partner play with you to try and orgasm multiple times in a short period is also suppose to bring on labour.

Cheers Queenie

i tried everything when i was preg with my son cos i was 11 days over and didnt want to be induced (had to be anyway) i tried walking around on my hands and knees wiggling my bum (not comfortable wen full term) walking everywhere, drinking raspberry leaf tea, raspberry leaf tablets, straddling a chair, my partner didnt want sex in case my water broke. gentle exercise massage on my tummy.  when bubs ready he will come out, just try and relax,  get partner to give you a really good back massage it worked for me cos i was in heaps of pain.

I dont think anyone except someone going through pregnancy understands the sacrifices a woman makes in having children. Even then, everyone has their own journey.  I really feel for you, as I dont enjoy pregnancy.

I would try acupuncture heard some friends have used it and it worked, I was too late.  At least this could be relaxing.   Good luck and hope it gets easier.

Nothing but time worked for me! Babies come when they are ready.

I tried sex,curb walking, spicy food. But I was happy for the baies to come when ready - 40-42weeks.

Well, you seem to have covered all the bases.

when you have sex, you should insert a tampon afterwards to give the sperm a chance to work on the cervix, and remaining laying down for about 30 mins with your bottom on a pillow- this helps to keep the semen and sperm against the cervix.

I walked up and down stairs.  It helps to trick the body into believing you are having contractions and it also helps to strengthen muscles ready for labour.

looks like you've tried it all.  You could maybe try raspberry leaf tea.  It help to streghten the muscles of the uterus, so it might help bring it on, seeing as your so far along.

Can you get some help with your 2yr old, so you could maybe float in the bath or go spend sometime in the pool, to help take some of the pressure off your body.

I wish you luck.
