Joolshere,

If you're not that desperate that's a good thing! I was and we DTD more in the last week (5 times i think, maybe 4 though) that we had during my entire PG! It's the same with pineapple - to get a decent dose you have to eat something like 18 whole pineapples in one go!

But hey, no matter what he says, every little helps!

Remember that the closer you get to EDD+14 the more likely it is bubs will be born, so don't lose heart. DD came at 40+11 and i was SO glad at the time, but in retrospect i can't imagine her coming any other day (April Fools! The midwives thought DP was joking when he called and asked them to attend!) and it just seems "right" that she came when she did.

Remember that with monitoring you can go past 42 weeks too, if you want to. As others here have said, before induction was a real option quite a few babies came later than expected, and things were ok. It's so much safer nowadays as they can monitor how well your placenta works. If you feel everything is ok, bubs is still moving and you don't feel worried, then generally it's a safe bet that everything is fine in there

Enjoy these last few days hon. Life is SO different (and wonderful, but challenging too as all change is) once the baby arrives.
