Sangie - thanks hun the itching is terrible huh!!! No relief except a cool shower helps.... and aloe vera plant rubbed on every hour!! Creams etc don't help me. I'm dealing with it better now anyway than i was 2 days ago!

Yes girls I agree..... when you say "babies arrive when you feel at peace with it all etc" I really do believe that to be true from what i've read and heard from others also.

As for anything keeping me back? I have no idea what could be I am one of the most organised people you can imagine (possibly too organised ) and the nursery has been completed for ages, all clothes/MCNs washed and put away, everything is ready to go.... I think bub is just not ready yet!! Likes to keep us waiting

I do feel today though, and possibly this thread helped, that I've come to a sort of peace with being overdue and I've ACCEPTED it now. I really have. I mean, each day i wake up and think "oh damn I'm still here!" but it's not as bad now..... I've accepted it. Bub will come when ready.

I am a naturally very "like to be in control" sort of person, highly organised person so that probably doesn't help with being overdue...... I'm a Gemini I love to know when things are going to happen too.... so it's hard when I feel I can't control this lol and I know labour will be the same too....but I'm prepared for that part
