    I wish doctors did tell us 42 weeks as our due date, rather than 40 weeks... it would save us all a lot of impatience and obsessing!

    Yep I know... the buggers tho they have you lined up for intervention by having it a less realistic 40 weeks, easier for them to plan their weekends.

    if you want to encourage her to turn around you can get on your hands and knees, if you still can!! lol, and try and rock gently back and forth. My middie tried to get me to do this as Charlotte was prosterior u 40+4.
    The raspberry leaf tea is a great idea too, have at least 3 cups a day.

    Kelly - here I was thinking I was overdue, when in fact I was bang on - 41+1! lol ace.

    Good luck Sterla!! Really hope it all goes well and happens soon for you!

    She did turn as far as I know - she felt to me like she was different. I had an emergency CS though so dont know for sure
