40w+4 and No sign of baby....

[Banx]

I've heard from a number of people that having a c-section is not that much worse than having appendix out.

I had that when i was 14.. so i think i can cope with c-section at 21 :P

But you are right... I don't want one really... which is why I'm giving my son extra time I just wish he would come meet us already!!

My first baby was born at 42 weeks
second was born 36 weeks
third was born at 41 weeks
The doctors were never concerned, I was very uncomfortable so I understand on how you feel for you.
4 and 5 baby they will only let me go to 38 weeks.
I can't help you with any remedies as I tried everythink with my first I just had to wait and go naturally.
I hope your little man comes soon

A c/s might feel like having your appendix out, but it's risky. & you risk your baby & future birth/babies.
Obviously if its for the best, then its for the best.

Maybe your experiencing the calm before the storm??
I reckon have a strong cup of RLT, go for a long walk, go home & put your feet in a bucket of coolish/warm water for the swelling, then prop some pillows under your feet & doze off.
Try to DTD first, but either way.
All 3 of my labours started while I was asleep after a fair bit of walking.

Any show or plug yet?

I've never known anyone to say they're the same thing. Not to mention, as bjrose has said the risks involved. It was honestly the most traumtatic thing i have ever been through in my life. And it's been almost 5 months and i'm still recovering. Not to mention the fact as bj has also said the risk for future babies.

I don't want a c-section..

I'm Soooo hoping that this is the calm before the storm.

I'm going to Vac and Mop all the floors in the house (we have a steam mop) and then have a warm/ hot bath and then put my feet up and have a sleep..

I don't want to leave the house incase I need to stop or sit down... Plus its dark as outside!!

Just thought. I did that the day before I had DS.
Went to town with MIL all day, swept, vacced & mopped ALL her floors, then did the long walk.
It worked.
Let us know!
