getting frustrated! !

I'm 40 + 3 and i have tried everything to get this labour started. Walking, hopping, nipple stimulation. And absolutely nothing is working. Im so affraid that im going to have to be induced next week and thats the last thing that i wanted to happen. I feel like a failure if i cannot start labour on my own. Im soo sick of it and soo emotional.

I'm right there with you. I was due July 10th and still nothing. I have an appointment set up to be induced on Monday. She is my 3rd and I wanted my body to go into labor naturally since my first two were induced but I guess it wasn't meant to be. This little girl is being stubborn and refusing to come on her own. Try not to stress it once your bundle of joy is here happy and healthy the how part of it doesn't matter ;)

Try eating hot sauce and having sex, if it's safe and comfortable.

I was always told " the same way the baby got in there is the same way the baby will come out".  Have sex.

Hey enjoy it while you still can. I love swimming and after the baby comes won't be able to do much of that for a first few weeks or much of anything. I'm due tomorrow and no sign of him yet. Went on a nice walk and rock climbing by the beach yesterday and today we are going to the water park. I keep driving my husband crazy he is so afraid I might hurt my self. He keeps telling me that I'll be able to do these things after the baby is born but i know it's not going to be simple like that.
