    Wow, raspberry tea leaf can really eliminate the tear part. Oooh, that would be so great. With my first, I had a 2nd degree tear. Although it was that bad, I would have love it more if I didn't get it.

    Last night, after nipple stimulation and DTD, I got some contractions... nothing too long. Will try again today. Either way, I think the baby will have to come out as I'm getting closer to my due date. Let's just hope the baby will decide to show earlier than expected!

    Get your husband to go out of town. Worked for me. That and an electrical storm. However if you cant control the weather, try getting up and down alot from your couch. My water broke as I was getting up of the couch......... to get an extention cord for my dad who I then leaked on. Serves him right making a pg woman get up!

    Sounds great. I am eager to get the baby out from my belly. Will try to do some crouching. I've been having some pelvic pain I think primarily due to my pelvis loosening up getting prepare for birth.

    I've washed everything I possibly could in the house. I'm even doing another load of laundry as I am typing. Then there will be no more laundry.

    DH is at work now, but DD is keep me on the ball. So, will go out with her in the garden and do some garden work maybe this will also help the water to break! Crossing my fingers... and toes!

    Carmen2- I think it was the Evening Primrose Oil tablets that this lady was taking, that helped her to not tear.
