HELP I’m going insane here

I am going totally nutty. I am three days overdue and have a few niggles but that is it.

He was engaged last week so shouldn't be too far away bit i just want him here now!!!

Does anyone have any tips for bringing on labour that they know work?? I have read the other threads about bringing on labour but it all seems to be what people have heard. I was wondering if you could let me have your personal experiences.

baby will come when ready..relax!!! And the rest you can have now will be great cause you dont get much in the hosp or for a few weeks once baby is here!!!




Its way better to go into Labour naturally than to need to be induced also..Im sure it will happen. Go for some big walks and cleep and eat....
Happy thoughts!!

linelle, i wish i could help, but i am now officially the "iron womb" having 3 births, all induced! argh!

Embrace the insanity - it doesn't ease up or truly go away from here out (or at least mine shows no sign of going anywhere and it's been 11 years since I was first pregnant).
Stay away from the eating or taking anything methods that you may have read about (pineapple, curry, eggplant parmesan, castor oil etc) as they tend to give you diaorhea and sometimes make you vomit as well - which on top of labour isn't a good thing and there is a good chance that they wouldn't work anyway.
If you've got a bathtub that you can get in and out of, light a few candles, grab a couple of magazines and have a nice scented bath. Yell at your hubby for a while (frustration breaker that works for me) and book yourself in for a hair appointment (making firm plans for in the future lures the little ones out of their possies just to break your plans). In any case - I guarantee that this wee person will be out of there and making cute faces at his mum within the next 10 days. REALLY! Stay strong and remember to feed all of this stuff back to me in 33 days when I'm complaining about my chap not coming out soon enough too. I'll appreciate it probably as much as you do right now

Make huge important plans for a night out. look forward to it. then babby will interrupt your plans - if you do all this, and then like me, nothing happens - at least you've had a nice night out!

Sorry to say but Ella was engaged for wweeeeekkkkssss and she was a week overdue lol they come when ready sorry chicka all you can do is put your feet up and try to relax!

oh Linelle Alan was late and I remeber having a huge cry about it on my birthday. Then we went up to mt Taranaki and our car over heated then of course true to form I started having contraction's. Anyway sorry that is not much help likes the other's have said go for lot's of walk's that helped me even it was just keeping myself sain.

my midwife suggested primrose oil capsules, you don't eat them, you prick them and stick them up there. it sounds gross but when i was a week overdue i got sick of waiting and tried it and i went into labour just over 3 hours later. it may have been coincidence but i dunno. it might be worth a try.
