Are tehre any exercises I can do that will bring on labour?

[Inertia]

Just remind your DH that he won't be getting any for at least 6 weeks post birth..that was enough to motivate my DH

Utterly Perfect! That should do the trick!

With our first we had loads of sex and she was born 9 days early

With our second she was 3 days over due and I walked and walked and walked! almost threw the kids of the jumping castle at Australia Zoo to bring her on.

Get down on your hands and knees and scrub the kitchen floor.
It works, I swear. for 4 generations of my mothers family!! pmsl

And if DH cant SEE the belly form that angle....

(ooh was that an emoticon pun?? um-ahh!!)

Evening Primrose Oil


Last night I wanted to DTD with my man and he said he was too shagged from work!!
So I got real snippy which got my hormones all riled up. I later had a shower...
In the shower I did my own 'inducing'...and since about 10pm last night I have had really strong braxtons every 10 mins!

I went for a killer walk this morning, which intensified them but they have gone back to being manageable.. still quite regular though. It could even be early labour!!

(see sometimes you dont need the men to help get things goin!)
Im gunna order some curry tonight..

[AliBaby]

Amy that sounds promising.

DP still wont budge on DTD so I got some EPO the other day as I ahave heard it does the same thing. I have been walking most nights as well but today I am just so lethargic that I just dont feel like doing anything today.

[amyalexandra]

Yeah ! I felt a RANGE of moods y'day...even a bit of nausea.

Yep, Ive heard EPO can help ripen the cervix! Never tried it myself. I even have a bottle in the pantry! So if I get rejected again tonight, I'll go for that..

Hope it all happens very soon for everyone

Limeslice- I scrubbed the kitchen floors on hands and knees a week ago as it needed to be done (I seriously felt like Cinderella) but still no baby.

When I go walking, I do feel some tightening pains but they dont seem to last long so I dont htink they are contractions.

I was feeling sick last night and threw up as well. I slept in until 12 today!!!!! Mind you I wasnt really asleep until 2:30am Probably why I feel lethargic today.

I hope it all happens very soon as well.

[Ginger]

fingers crossed ofr you Ali!
just rest up and relax, i'm sure it will happen soon

[mrsmac]

Ali my kitchen floor needs scrubbing!!!
Raspberry leaf tea is supposed to be good, a MW told me to put 2 teabags per cup.
I hope you have bubs soon hun, otherwise you could come over here and do my program for me????

[AliBaby]

Thanks Rainforest. I hope that you are enjoying being home with Jimmy now.

Mrs Mac- I have been thinking of you and wondreing how you are going. I am sure you are doing a fabulous job with the kindy kids. Program writing I will pass on! LOL! I am having the RLT tablets so hoping that will help.

I went and had a lie down this arvo for an hour. I have hardly felt the baby move much at all today. Maybe its the calm before the storm.... (prob not but more like wishful thinking).

[LimeSlice]

Charlotte went very still about 2 days before I went into labour...

[AliBaby]

Thats good to know LS.... mmmm what is this little one up to I wonder?!

[mrsmac]

They do tend to quiet just before birth hope fully its a good sign.
I am exhausted from Kindy Ali!! I have cried many evenings with the stress of it all.
