I completely understand im also 36 weeks 4 days and i have to say from jow until baby is born is the hardest part, but even if you manage to go into labour the hospital will give you drugs to stop it before 37 weeks.. it might seem long now but once she is born you wont feel it was that long

I understand how you feel wanting her here and all but I've wanted my son here since I was 37 weeks, today is my due date and he's still not here. So no matter what you try your baby isn't going to come until she is ready unless you get induced. Be patient she's not ready yet.

I feel the same way I'm 37 weeks in three days this is my fourth baby and he already weighs over 7lbs, I've been having irregular contractions already lost my mucus plug and have been having bad lower back pain and high blood pressure also a few other tmi symptoms I won't say lol, feel like labor is right around the corner and I just want him out!!

One of the things about becoming a parent is doing the best you can for your child,  always.

The "best you can" is not to force her to be delivered early because you are ready to see her.  ;D

Wait til she's the one who's ready.

Babies born before at least 37 weeks have trouble breathing, holding their own body temperature, and can't eat properly on their own.

Why not wait its just a few more weeks. But if not..... sex and walking and bouncing on a yoga ball seem to help people. Also fresh pineapples and kiwis and mangos are supposed to help to
