Well I'm due today and still no signs of baby. Have been ill for the past few days so having been moping about and just generally feeling rough. I'm fed up now as all I do is ache and keep getting more pains in my hips and bum cheeks!
So hopefully she will hurry up and get here soon.

My friend tried my pineapple tip and had the baby the next morning, but she did eat 3 at once

, hope you are feeling better soon and baby arrives with out to much delay or pain.

Get bent down and scrum your bath clean. I can honestly say thats what kicked my labour off, my gran nagged and nagged me to try it so i did lol and I went into labour 2 hours later.

Worth a try maybe lol

Its horrid when its the very last stages, try to keep calm and relaxed, i'm sure she'll be here soon enough

Well when I went five days over with DD number 1, my labour was finally induced by the Ex's dog jumping on my head while I was layed on the floor and busting my lip; but I don't think that would be recommended You could try some of the usual methods of warm curry, gentle squats, lot of nookie etc, but TBH I've decided the best method (even if it's not the easiest) is just trying to stay relaxed and take the assumption that Mother Nature knows best and will deliver your little bundle when she's ready. I got really stressed when I passed my due date last time, but I'm determined to keep reminding myself this time (I'm 33 weeks PG) that the EDD is in fact definitely just an estimate and to try and not allow myself to start getting overly excited and then overly stressed if she doesn't arrive on time (which is very likely conisdering everyone in both mine and DH's family go over LOL)

Anyhow Good Luck with your impending arrival- can't wait to see the piccies when she gets here

Well I have to agree that the date you are given as your due date is only an estimate, after all were the docs there with you when you conceived?!! Do you even know for sure when you conceived!!! I can pin both of my pregnancies down to either a friday afternoon or a sunday night!!! coz hubby was working all the time and those were the only times he had off!!

Enjoy the peace and lil one will be here in no time!!
