Not being funny, but if you don't want peoples opinions then don't ask on a forum. Google would have told you how much to take just as easily hun

Good luck with your endeavours - be sure to let us know if any of these things work

Hun, we're all in the same boat here - was over the moon earlier when my MW told me my baby was FINALLY engaged

So uncomfy even turning over at night - feels like he's about to burst through my cervix!!!

I saw from your other post that they reckon you will go earlier than your DD anyway which is great! Keep walking, DTD and if you've got a ball then bounce on that and it should help move things along

thnks for being understanding, its hard to remember sometimes that we are all in the same boat really, yh but that seems to be the kiss of death when a midwife says that haha!!! well me and oh have found a few positions that dnt hurt so i guess he will b a happy man from now on lol.. i have a ball but dnt really no wat to do on it? shes fully engagaed its basicly just the thinning i need to do and dilating obv.. i take evening primrose oil so maybe it wont take too long to get going? ohhh i dnt no lol i dnt understand y im being so impatient... but i no what u mean about turning over at night and if i lay on 1 side too long then i get a sharp pain and pins and needles so have to wake up and turn over

I know how you feel hun I'm due Sunday and I'm soooo over being pregnant, but haven't been brave enough to try castor oil, the mw at my antinatal class called it rocket fuel and scared me that much that I would love to try it I'm just not brave enough xxxx

Good luck if you get your hands on some thou

Just sit on the ball and bounce! Brings the baby down lower, if the head is engaged already then maybe it will put pressure on the cervix and encourage it to open more? EPO should help too, I've just started taking that

Yeah, I'm a front sleeper so being on my side while I've been pregnant has been well uncomfy - what do you do with your arm??? I wake up and it's gone numb!!

Try to stay calm and relaxed, hopefully that will help too

cat123456 · Jan 17th, 2012, 13:54 PM

well my oh always sleeps on his side and sticks it out elbowing me grr haha i just sorta tuck it under my hip but i turn over so much that it doesnt have time to go numb lol.. will do the ball tomoz i think, her head is engaged my midwife fet her easily at 38+1 im now 38+6 (tomoz) so we will c

So weird that places don't sell it, or sell it to pregnant women. I ran up to the dollar store and even they had it there.
