Its funny, I've never been so eager to be in pain lol.. its not that I don't like pregnancy or I'm uncomfortable. I'm just bored and fed up with waiting, ready to start the next phase of my journey. My fiance is also desperate for a few weeks off work lol.
I hope he comes sooner rather then laster, sending good vibes to you both :)

I am right there with you.. due tomorrow! A few little pains here and there but I am becoming so impatient and I really don't want to be induced. I feel like he will never come :(

I've also drank so much raspberry leaf tea, bounced on yoga ball, gone swimming, walked, ate a whole pineapple and had sex... nothing!!

Maybe I'll try squatting until I can't squat anymore ahah.. apparently drinking castor oil can help induce labour, but not to much or you'll be glued to the toilet.
Good luck!!
