Due date and no signs...

Hey y'all, it's my due date today and there's no sign of baby. First baby was born bang on due date and I had heard the second bub came a bit quicker!?

I'm so ready not to be preggers anymore! I've tried all the safe natural methods of bringing on labour - bouncing on a ball, sex (with him finishing), orgasm, spicy food, walking, bumpy car ride, squats, jumping jacks?! I know baby's come when they're ready but who out there understands the frustration and excitement! Want to see my baby!!

Did any of y'all have no sign of labour and then boom just have your baby out of the blue?!

Try to relax! My eldest was one week late. I also tried everything and then gave up. Instead of putting pressure and worrying I tried to relax and within a week my water broke with a pop! He was born after 6hours of labour pain.

Btw, Are you in UK?

I know you are right! So much easier said than done though!

I'm in London, you?!
How are you getting one? Hoping you  have gave birth by now. Pray that you are doing well.

Yep, I'm also in London. North London. It was 'Hackney' that made me ask you as most members are from USA.

My first came on her due date, but labor started the day before,  my son, my second  was induced 1 week early.



I know it's Frustrating;  but just remember only 5% of babies are born on their due date. Heck I was my mothers second child & she went two weeks over with me. :-/

Your almost there!
