Brenda, when are you actually due? Is this not too soon?
either which way, relax
ours was two weeks over due, we went sailing the day before, and even had some wine.. i guess that relaxed and kicked off the whole business.
If you are giving birth right now, don't reply.
Oh you poor thing, you must be going through misery. The waiting is awful!! Fingers are crossed for you that when it does happen, everything goes smoothly and exactly as planned. :)
what she said
i say middle of the night too
I went two weeks over with one of mine. Longest two weeks of my life...
Hope s/he doesn't keep you waiting much longer and everything goes well :)
thanks guys
still there :glag: I've kind of gotten over the time dragging and reverted back to being petrified about givin birth
5 days late and counting, the midwife offered me induction but I refused :shutup:
Natural Ways to Induce Labor
If the medical methods of jump starting labor sound a bit off putting, there are a number of home remedies for inducing labor naturally when you are past your due date. But remember: none of these remedies will start labor unless you have already begun to dilate. However, some methods can help you to tone and soften your uterus.
1. Eat spicy foods or pineapple.
2. Go for a walk or march up some stairs. This is thought to bring on labor because of the pressure of the baby’s head pressing down on your cervix. At the very least, walking can help get your baby into a better position for labor.
3. Have sex. A favorite for many pregnant women, sex can help by releasing a hormone called oxytocin, which causes the uterus to contract. Additionally, semen contains a substance known as prostaglandins, which will help soften the cervix.
4. Nipple stimulation. For those who find sex just too uncomfortable right now, nipple stimulation may be a better choice. It helps to bring on labor in much the same way sex does, by releasing oxytocin. However, this method may take a bit more effort than sex to start labor.
5. Stretching of the uterine opening membranes. This can be done by your doctor or midwife and has been found to increase the chances of labor starting within 48 hours.
6. Complementary therapies. Acupuncture, massage, teas, herbs and homeopathic remedies can be helpful when it comes to inducing labor. However, make sure you go to a licensed practitioner who has experience treating pregnant women.
One home remedy that is often recommended to pregnant women is castor oil taken either alone or with orange juice. While some women swear by this method, many experts and women who have tried it will strongly advise you against it. Castor oil may or may not bring on labor but it will definitely make you nauseous, cause you to vomit, have diarrhea and suffer severe cramps so just steer clear of this home remedy.
i went 21 days over my due date and ended up having a section after being induced 4 times little fucker didnt wanna come out
I hope the child isn't black or asian, or else you've got a ginormous problem.
racist
My first was induced. Never again.

I've looked into the nipple thing but you have to do it for SEVERAL HOURS! a day and it causes contrations to be much more intense
Can't walk anywhere cus the baby is crushing my right hip so badly
Midwife is coming tomorrow to try the membrane thingy :cry:
Pennyroyal tea might help.
Try running a couple of miles.
