Still no sign of baby overnight Shouldn't I be feeling something by now at least? I guess I had a few more period type pains yesterday afternoon and last night but they stopped when I went to bed.

D'oh . We need to serve this bubba an eviction notice!!!

Hang in there SJ, he or she is baking just perfectly and will be with you in less than a week. How amazing is that .

PS I can't remember if I voted male of female for this bubba, but seeing how long it is taking, I think it must be a girl LOL.

Not necessarily. Sorry I know thats probably not what you want to hear. I didnt feel anything at all until they started my induction at 10days over, but I did lose my plug the day after accupunture and a S&S

Oh hon, please dont stress!!!!

I have been overdue with 5 out of my 6, and pretty far over sometimes....

And dont worry about him/her getting too big, my largest was 8p 13oz, and all natural, no tears... it can be done, just relax babe....

If you want a scan each day to check bub, demand it. But you will be fine hon, I know how hard it is, but your getting niggly pains, rest up and let it happen!!!!

You will have your baby soon!!!!

oscaroscar- lol, yes must be!

rayray- I don't think the acupuncture did much for me, hoping it did help prepare my body on the inside! But I guess nothing will help if it's not ready!

PB- Thankyou Ooh...I really hope I get to have births like you!! I'm scared of being induced.

Have you tried a bit of meditation, SJ? It might help you to relax a little (and pass some time, LOL!). Plus, as I said to Ren when she was in your position not too long ago, I have heard that bubs will come along once you have a certain peace about things. Meditation can be fantastic for getting yourself into a calmer state of mind.
Are you still worried about the birth? Do you think you need some more debriefing? Do you have someone you can talk to about any fears/feelings/aprehensions you might have about labour and birth?
Are you into crafty things? (Like scrapbooking, cross-stich etc?) Sure as you start something bubs will come along before you have a chance to finish Can you make some plans to go out for a hot chocolate or a frappe with a friend or member of your family? How about cooking? It could be handy to have some meals in your freezer for when bubby arrives (and s/he WILL be arriving any day now!).
I found when I went over with Natty, it was much easier to deal with things if I kept busy. It was around Christmas time so I occupied myself with some Christmas baking.
It really sucks going over your EDD, and no matter how much people like me tell you to relax and rest up, I know from experience it is just impossible. So my recommendation, babe, is to do something you really like to do and get your mind off things as much as possible. And try some of that meditation stuff - visualise your body getting ready for the birth, your cervix opening. Visualise holding your slimey, beautiful, freshly born baby in your arms and the absolute joy you will experience when you meet him or her for the first time. It will be very very soon.
