Weird question, but what if you want to stall labour?

Gosh is it that t ime already, im so excited for you!!!!!

Well a bath, stress and not moving are the things you're NOT supposed to do so if you do go into labour you could try that?

Bubs tend to know when they shouldnt come though... Jazz looked like she was raring to go early, then my grandad got sick and she held off and I went into labour a few hours after he passed away. I think she let me have that time with him and then came when he was gone.

Going to the hospital often brings things to a crashing halt! Don't know how long it would work for though... Sorry if that's not much help - hope someone can suggest something!

I just wanted to wish you all the best. I am sure you will manage to get this sorted!

Thanks for all the suggestions girls, and thanks for popping in Ruf and Leasha!!! hope thigns going well with you gals too.

I heard something about having wine but I'm not sure if that was to speed things up or slow them down - i guess it's something i should avoid anyway

Deni - woohoo I can't believe its almost time! I remember when you got your BFP!!!
Goodluck and I hope the timings are all perfect so your DH gets to be there too!

OMG Deni your due already!? Where have I been, feels like yesterday I was so excited you and Ruf graduated

I dont know how to stall or start labour seeing as both my boys were evicted early but just wanted to wish you good luck and that I hope DH makes it for the birth, its quite an experience for them!

I don't really think you can do anything and once it starts you probably wont want it to stop anyway.

Lots of ladies do go early with their first. I was 38w 4d when I gave birth and I wasn't the first to go in my buddy group - I'd say about 1/2 of us went early & the other half went late so you do need to make sure you have a way of contacting him during that period that you normally can't. Surely there's a way around that. Once you get that sorted you will feel more at ease.

Just feel reassured that most 1st labours take a while so he probably will get there in time. Mine was 12 hours of pre labour then 15 hours 1st stage and almost 2 hours of 2nd stage so my DF could've got to me from just about anywhere in that time.
