It totally sucks!!
What is with the WAITING??? 
I am only 3 days overdue but STILL, I am getting frustrated with all the niggles and pains and then, nothing?! On Wednesday morning from 3:30am - 5:30am I was having contractions... then they stopped? Braxton Hicks right? Well I want the real thing!!! I went out and walked all day from Mon-Thurs this week. I've been drinking Rasberry Leaf Tea four times a day every day. I've been having nice hot showers and I even ate some medium/hot food to try bring things on!! Nothing is working. I just want to meet our little one now. Any other suggestions??? ------------- mama_wendz  My Girls: Maddisyn Tylr & Layla-Mei Virginia

baby's come when they are ready! theres heaps of things i've been told about to help induce labour naturally, but your body has to be ready... i went overdue 10 days too, and ended up induced. nothing worked for me and i still wasnt totally favourable at the 10 days over mark.... man, babies and our bodies can be stubborn! lol.... wont be long till you'll meet your wee baby i promise! even if it doesnt feel like it now.

| but sometimes babies need a helping hand to and its not always a good idea for them to come just when they are ready otherwise babies could end up being weeks overdue. Sometimes I think we put to much trust in our bodies. Try sex and more walking hopefully it wont be much longer |

Go for a drive in a car with no springs or down a bumpy road at the river. DP drove me round the back yard in his '52 Chev to help me lol ------------- http://lilypie.com">

omg sex? that is the last thing on my mind!! haha

I found the bumpy ride helped me. DH took down the hillyest road and speed over each bump. 2 days later Andrew was here. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

We've been texting back and forth prior to and around her due date. The last text I received from her was on Sunday morning at bout 6am saying she'd been up with contractions for a few hours and was just waiting for them to get stronger before heading to the hospital. That was the last I heard!  Hope she's on here soon to update us all.
I tell ya, every time I get a text message now I jump up to my phone thinking 'ooh is it a girl or a boy?!' hahaha |

This is getting exciting, I am sure Wendy has had little "noah" now and she is just resting up. Well thats what i'm thinking, but you would think that she would have texted you by now baalamb. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

She's probably enjoying her family time I wouldn't hurry to text either! Or she could simply still be in hospital where you can't use your cell phone. Plenty of reasons.

True there are plenty of reasons. Its just so exciting where theres a baby due and you really want to know if its a boy or girl. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

No more waiting for Wendz I just received a text this morning.
On Monday 26 June 2006, our lovely Wendz gave birth to a healthy baby GIRL weighing a very decent 9lbs 6oz, 52.5cms long. All seems well with the family and I'm sure when she gets a minute, she'll be in to fill us all in with the rest of the details. |

Awwww... Yay, congratulations Wendy and family! Thanks for filling us in baalamb! Does she have a name yet?? ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

No, I don't think she does. Proud Mum and Dad were struggling on compromising for a girl's name Wendz thought - along with a huge bunch of us! - that she was having a boy so they had a boy's name picked and ready to go hehe
