Thanks so much for all your replies. I do feel in my heart that the best thing to do right now is wait and give my baby a chance to come when ready before making rash decisions. If I have waited 38 weeks for him i can surely do another 2 weeks!

I must say, I am in a very good situation at the moment, my husband and I are building a house that will be ready in March next year so we are currently living with my parents and it has been such a blessing. My mother has literally done everything for me since the pain became so bad. She cleans my bathroom, does all our washing, cooks every night and drives me to every drs appointment - it is too good to be true!! I know i am very lucky so I have every reason to wait for my due date. I honestly don't know what I would have done without my mother.

I have started to drink rasberry leaf tea and might consider the other natural induction methods you mentioned - anything is worth a try!

Does anyone know if it is possible to have a natural birth with PSD - my dr said she recommends an epidural because I wouldn't cope without it - she said "labour sucks" and everyone should have an epidural...

I am sure there will be a few people to have a go at that comment!! #-o
