I tired everything for 10 days, and the Tuesday evening before my son was born (40+3) I was stuck in the barn yard during a horrible thunderstorm and I went into labor that night. My dad says it was the lightening and scared him out. Lol.
Sounds like you may be getting close though! When I was in labor I never had "normal" contractions until after they broke my water. I had REALLY intense back pain, like doubled over crying had to sleep in a tub of water kind of pain. Called my doc and she said it wasn't labor, I'd know what contractions feel like because they go from back to belly. Well, thank God I trusted my instincts and went to the hospital the next day because I WAS in labor and contracting every 3-5 min!! I was already to 5cm :) Turns out baby was posterior causing the back labor :(
This sounds silly but I was 39+3 when I had my daughter.. I did jumping jacks and that night my water broke.. my sister in law also did jumping jacks the night before she had get daughter the next day her water broke as well.. lol I tried everything just like u I crawled on all fours, swayed back and forth on a ball, walked, ate pineapple, and especially used my boyfriend as well, only thing that worked were the jumping jack lol I did about 20!
Well nothing happened im still pregnant..:(
Good luck! I'm due in 15 days and I can't wait anymore! In so much pain sleeping is so uncomfortable. I went to the doctor and no signs of baby coming earlier so disappointing
