I have been walking and sitting on the fitball (bouncing on there and rolling my hips on it).
Is there anything else I can do? Would doing squats or lunges help?
Should I sit or lie in a certain way?
What if I jump up and down? :ROFL: Will that make the baby come out?
Edit- Sorry about the typo in the msg thread. Maybe a mod can fix that for me.
Have you tried rudie-type excercise???

PMSL Lulu!!!
DP doesnt want to DTD with me when I am this pregnant. He has this mental image of poking the baby!! ARrhhhhhh! Such a pain!
Don't do lunges though, it could pull your pelvis outta wack.
Play with your boobies!
stairs are great! lots and lots and lots of stairs
eat a pineapple
*although i must add that i have been eating pineapples for two weeks now, and i am still pg*
so maybe forget about the pineapple
Thanks Lulu. Will get onto that!
Doudou, we dont ahve any stairs but I will go the shops tomorrow and walk up and down the stairs there! LOL!
Rainforest- I hope that you have your little baby soon. I cant wait to hear your BA! DOnt think I could do the pineapple thing as I heard you have to eat a whole one at once!:
yes i've eaten about 5 whole pineapples in the last week!
have you had any contractions or anything at all?
i haven't :(
Try and get your DH to come around in the sex department...We also used EPO as lube (sorry TMI) but DD was born 4 hours later
Had a couple of contractions but nothing regular. It annoys me as I ahve all these different kind of pains and dont know what is what. A week ago I had a bleed (sorry TMI) as well but it wasnt my plug.
Bekz- Thanks hun! It has come round quickly all of a sudden. I will have to go and get some EPO tomorrow.
Goodluck Ali. With DD1 I had 5 nights of on/off pre-labour pains. It was such a pia at the time but my body was doing a really good job of preparing me for a wonderful birth.
Maybe relax and visualise your body and baby getting ready for birth.
Ha Ha i just had to reply to this thread with the unfortunate back up - SEX SEX SEX!!! But he has to come through, if you know what I mean :o. Actually so do you.....OK at the risk of TMI, if you tried it by yourself....it's the orgasm that can get the contractions going.....
A curry might help as well!
I should probably shut up now!!!!
Too funny.
I am so going to have to add to the list of people telling you the horizontal tango. Of all the wives tales, the prostogladins that he can provide are the most real. So I recommend a nice long 4wd trip to some lace secluded followed by wild monkey sex and a ride home via a road with more potholes than your kitchen cupboard.
That baby poking joke has a lot to answer for. :wall:
sexxxxxxxxxxxxxx lots of it ;)
PMSL! I couldnt get him to do it last night! Arrrrhhhh! He said if the baby doesnt come by Friday than we will have a weekend of it.
Spoke to my midwife today and she said nipple stimulation is the next best thing to DTD and walking for more than 30minutes. So looks like I better get busy!
Just remind your DH that he won't be getting any for at least 6 weeks post birth..that was enough to motivate my DH
Utterly Perfect! :lol: That should do the trick!:
With our first we had loads of sex and she was born 9 days early
With our second she was 3 days over due and I walked and walked and walked! almost threw the kids of the jumping castle at Australia Zoo to bring her on.
Get down on your hands and knees and scrub the kitchen floor.
It works, I swear. for 4 generations of my mothers family!! pmsl
And if DH cant SEE the belly form that angle....:rofl:
(ooh was that an emoticon pun?? um-ahh!!)
whats epo?
Evening Primrose Oil
Last night I wanted to DTD with my man and he said he was too shagged from work!!
:rolleyes::o So I got real snippy which got my hormones all riled up. I later had a shower...
In the shower I did my own 'inducing'...and since about 10pm last night I have had really strong braxtons every 10 mins!
I went for a killer walk this morning, which intensified them but they have gone back to being manageable.. still quite regular though. :clap: It could even be early labour!!
(see sometimes you dont need the men to help get things goin!)
Im gunna order some curry tonight..
Amy that sounds promising.
DP still wont budge on DTD so I got some EPO the other day as I ahave heard it does the same thing. I have been walking most nights as well but today I am just so lethargic that I just dont feel like doing anything today.
Yeah ! I felt a RANGE of moods y'day...even a bit of nausea. :sick:
Yep, Ive heard EPO can help ripen the cervix! Never tried it myself. I even have a bottle in the pantry! So if I get rejected again tonight, I'll go for that..
;)
Hope it all happens very soon for everyone :clap:
Limeslice- I scrubbed the kitchen floors on hands and knees a week ago as it needed to be done (I seriously felt like Cinderella) but still no baby.
When I go walking, I do feel some tightening pains but they dont seem to last long so I dont htink they are contractions.
I was feeling sick last night and threw up as well. I slept in until 12 today!!!!! Mind you I wasnt really asleep until 2:30am Probably why I feel lethargic today.
I hope it all happens very soon as well.
fingers crossed ofr you Ali!
just rest up and relax, i'm sure it will happen soon
Ali my kitchen floor needs scrubbing!!!
Raspberry leaf tea is supposed to be good, a MW told me to put 2 teabags per cup.
I hope you have bubs soon hun, otherwise you could come over here and do my program for me????
Thanks Rainforest. I hope that you are enjoying being home with Jimmy now.
Mrs Mac- I have been thinking of you and wondreing how you are going. I am sure you are doing a fabulous job with the kindy kids. Program writing I will pass on! LOL! I am having the RLT tablets so hoping that will help.
I went and had a lie down this arvo for an hour. I have hardly felt the baby move much at all today. Maybe its the calm before the storm.... (prob not but more like wishful thinking).
Charlotte went very still about 2 days before I went into labour...
Thats good to know LS.... mmmm what is this little one up to I wonder?!
They do tend to quiet just before birth hope fully its a good sign.
I am exhausted from Kindy Ali!! I have cried many evenings with the stress of it all.
