    How about acupuncture? I had it with both my boys for a couple of months in the lead up (both born during 39th week). I hear it can work to bring on bub once you hit your due date. Acupuncture is virtually painless and can actually be quite relaxing.

    And I can't help but mention the midwife talking about induction ... if today is your due date I can't see why you would need to be induced anytime soon unless it was medically necessary - thought you could go 10-12 days over provided bub and you were ok. Try not to worry/stress about induction - focus on, and visualise, a spontaneous labour. It can't hurt, at the very least.

    Good luck - I hope you meet your baby very, very soon.

    Try doing something really nice for yourself. Or perhaps a date night with your partner?
    Don't run yourself ragged trying to get baby to move - I'm sure it won't be long now. Enjoy this time if you can. And if you don't want to be induced, then don't.
