38 weeks and hoping for an early delivery!

I'm 38 weeks today and so uncomfortable it's unbelievable. And just to top it off we're supposed to be having a two week heatwave and if yesterday was anything to go by the forecast is very accurate.  Has anyone got any tips on how to speed things up

I am a single mum to so that's a no go! Haha I feel for you!  Thank you for advice :). That's definitely not snotty :). I refuse to use castor oil,  I've heard so many bad things about it.

Nothing but the meds in hospital are guaranteed to induce labor. Your baby will come when ready I know it canbe tough I'm sorry but part of it:) idont mean that snotty. I'm 8 wks 4 days with baby number six so I know the feeling but Also safest gor baby to come when ready and induced labor was harder my experience anyway and DO NOT use castor oil 95% of the time it doesnt induce labor only dehydrates u thrn ur weak in labor bcuz getting sick diharea etc. Good luck the ends close

Sorry hunny....all I can say is stay indoors or walk the malls....I've tried everything but the sex (single mom) and castor oil (gross) natural induction old wives tales and I am now 40weeks plus 2 :( I have come to the conclusion they come when they are ready. I will cross my fingers for you and hope you get the early delivery you wish for!!!!
