Hey guys,

Need some learned advice!

My midwife just left, by dates I am either 40+3 or 40 weeks today.

From the description of my pains she is sure the baby is engaging and then pulling out and floating around (as she was when she felt my tummy - last visit she was 1/5 engaged). MW expects she is a "good" 4kgs, as she is now. My body is showing all the other signs that my body is ready to go, its just a matter of the little one getting her head in there and keeping her head engaged! (definately her father's daughter - he didnt move out till he was 29, why would you when you have it so good? lol)

Anyway - she suggested acupuncture as she is sure this will help things along. I am an absolute needle phobe. I cry when I have a blood test. I ball my eyes out when the dentist gives me the anaesthetic. Its pathetic.

She also suggested seeing an osteopath.

From the two, what have you guys done, what worked, what were your experiences etc?

Any descriptions of your experiences would be greatly appreciated!!
