overdue and fed up!

[tracymort]

i am 11 days overdue with my 2nd child and have tried everything!! I cannot go past 2 weeks as i really want a waterbirth (i fought hard to be able to get one) and if i am induced i can't have one either!! so i really need to give birth by wednesday!! i've been drinking raspberry leaf tea ( although i know this doesn't induce) pineapple, curry, sex, sweep,homeopathy, walking for hours, walking uphill, sideways upstairs.... any other ideas out there? not casto oil though as that gives you the runs from what i've heard from friends!

Get someone to drive you along a very bumpy road

To be honest, there isn't anything you can do if your body isn't ready to go into labour.(all my four were late). The only thing that may help is a homeopathic remedy called Pulsitella that my midwife recommended I use to bring labour on, though you should ask her first before going ahead. best of luck.

thanks for the suggestions! i am already under a homeopath. trouble with pustilla it can turn babies which is good if breech but my baby is in the perfect position LOA and i don't want it turning! i've been given caulophyllum to try and help, but nothing has happened yet! need baby out by wednesday!!

Curry and sex - they are the two best methods I'd heard of.. or was it just the two most *enjoyable* methods...?! Anyway - all the best.

it is clear to me that the curry you are trying is not hot enough. and neither is the sex. ha ha.

Let us know when he/she arrives!!

Do it doggy. It's something about semen getting into the neck of the womb and helping to dissolve the plug of mucus due to its rather acidic nature.
