Awwwww getinmybelly *hugs*

With all that stress and anxiety, no wonder baby is staying put! Stress and anxiety can slow / stall labour as it's not helpful to oxytocin production.

You need to read some affirmations, there is a great book, 25 Ways to Awaken Your Birth Power but I am not sure you will get much time to read!!! But some positive thinking is definitely needed, self talk is brilliant. Try saying over and over again something like,

"I welcome my baby, I'm a strong and powerful woman. I let go, my baby's coming."

Other things include deep relaxation and communication with the baby (i.e. talking to the baby).

You could also book yourself in for a pregnancy relaxation massage, I find this brilliant for letting go, especially when a woman is overdue.

Don't forget the tension-pain cycle - tensing up only makes it more painful - remember to relax and work with it not against it!
