Can I ask why you can't go over the 24th? It seems like that is putting far more pressure on you to get the show on the road than what there normally would be, when usually you would be allowed to go past dates by up to 12 days. I think that you having these dates in your head is a big part of the problem - it's like having a deadline for a work project or uni assignment and you *know* you have to get it done by then but you really doubt that you can kwim?

So your plan of attack should be to focus on things that will get your body ready to get this baby out. You're 36 wks now so start using evening primrose oil capsules and put them inside your vagina and also start on the raspberry leaf tea. There are a few other herbal supplements that you can take as well. Maybe also see Lulu about getting some remedies to help keep you calm and in a good state of mind.

I really hope that you do get your VBAC hun.
