Deary Me..

[AnnabelsMummy]

i've come to the conclusion that nothing works.. none of these labour inducing things - they just make you put yourself through hell for no reason

and the days are going like months at the moment.. i just want her here noww!! i want to be able to sit down comfortabley, i want to be able to eat a whole meal at once, instead of a chip every half hour..

plus i wanna see what she looks like and just hold her i just want my little girly nowww!! i've tried getting sleep before, it doesn't work, i'm just too uncomfortable, and keep getting freaky dreams!!

Walk, like you've never walked before!
I was in the middle of the beach when i went into labor, and i had to walk up and down the cliffs.

Allier; I hope your little girlie comes soon...
I've been trying everything!! baby just doesn't seem to want to come! a spicy curry for tea tonight, hoping that will help! x

 

[AnnabelsMummy]

Lisa, i tried that and the midwife was saying how she didn't show any signs of wanting to engage and stuff, then i walked for ages at the weekend, and monday, she was 3/5ths

Emily: ahh i hope your little one comes soon too, i mean i'm going crazy - but you must be climbing the walls!! i would bee..
i tried a curry the other day, been bouncing on my ball, i don't like pineapples - but i tried them.. wasn't worth it, i have tried everything suggested, think i'm just gunna give up and try and make time go quicker - but i can't do anythingg might try and make somethingg!

My LO is here and I still can't eat a whole meal, or eat a hot meal...

Nothing worked me I tried everything, DTD, walked up a massive hill twice a day, pineapple, birthing ball, a curry even though it made me feel sick, had a sweep... she'll come when she's good and ready hun.
Walk like mad though as it does help them to engage my LO was extremely low they were so surprised she didn't just drop out

the curry has to be the hottest one you can handle! the spicier the better. this helped my friend with her little man.
pineapple only works if you eat loads of it!
castor oil is a risky one as it can give you a bad upset stomach and give you the runs but i do know four girls this has worked for.
a long bumpy car ride (if available)
those power plates at gyms are meant to work wonders as they shake you about all over the place so i suppose like a majorly bumpy car ride!
raspberry leaf tea.
sex (if its available)
a really long walk followed by a nice relaxing bath, the change from exerting yourself to relaxing can trick the body into thinking contractions are slowly starting. the same as a hot bath, then a cold bath then a hot bath again then a cold bath again. xx

 

[AnnabelsMummy]

Laura - i've now tried like everythingg i just feel like it's never gunna happen - not that i can say much, i remember you going the full two weeks over.. and i've still got a little while till due date.. i just want at least a little sign

Loolabear - ahh i've tried most of them..
i had such a strong curry and asked them to make it more than usual, just thought i was gunna explode.. but not even braxton hicks..
ahh i HATE pineapple - i had like 2 pineapples, then gave up, thought i was gunna be sick
not sure how safe castor oil is.. i'd be scared about giving her an upset tum..
bounce on the birthing ball, which is similar to a bumpy car ride..
am drinking rasberry leaf tea - but it's the most horrid thing in the world!!
been walking and cleaning and climbing stairs.. that's the lates one i'm trying - i'll get back to youu on that one!!

Haha, I am slowly climbing the walls, the thing is I've no pain or nothing so think my little monkey is going to go the full 14 days over due, I will probably be jumping for joy by the time labour comes!!! I think I am going to walk round the whole of Swindon later... at this rate I'll walk to scotland and back if I knew it would make my little monkey come out!!

 

[AnnabelsMummy]

Emily: haha deary me - by the time you'd walked to scotland, i think your little one would deffinatly be here!! but you wouldn't have the energy for labour!.. you poor thing - i don't think you'll go the full 14 days - cummon little bubba! xx

Thank you ally, feels further away than ever noww!! haa...

ellie: i've tried most things, nothing seems to work, but hey it was nice to go out with OH for a curry and stuff - so some of it was nice... but the rasberry leaf tea is horrid - but it's sposed to be good in labour more than before.. same with EPO.. so maybe still worth taking?

i havnt even tried RLT in my life lol bet i dont like it knowin my luck aha
its weird coz everyone gets told to bounce on the gym balls but all of my midwifes say not to bounce just to rotate round n round and side to side..i wanted to get the ball this weekend but not sure what the right thing is to do?!xx

ahh there's no wayy anybody could like RLT, it's the most horrid thing ever, i tried it with sugar, i tried it in so many different ways, cold and hot - at first i thought it'd taste like lempsip - but noo it was truely horrid haha.. but i think you can get the tablets of it, they might not be as effective - but they must do a pretty similar job?

and my midwife said to rotate your hips round and round and forward and backwards.. in rocking movements..
forwards and backwards as though you're on a swing in a childrens playground
and round and round as if you have an imaginary hula hoop on your hips..
she said not not bounce.. it doesn't do anything, can just hurt you..
and the round and round and stuff encourages bubs to drop..
if that helps?

[bbyno1]

ooh really?im sat here thinking that everybody loved RLT i must go by some now and see what it tastes like! i can noo way even stand the lemsip,eww!!

ooh so yeah ..your midwife is saying the same as mine ,thankyou
all i hear is people bouncing away + im thinking huh but now it all makes sence lol be going to get my 4.99 bargin gym ball from argos at the weekend thenx

 

[rockys-mumma]

I drove myself to southend-on-sea, then walked the length of the strip twice (if you can call it that) and up n down the pier at 5 days overdue hahah. On the way home i started getting some twinges and thought it was it, but it wasnt. On the other hand my waters broke on the next day! Oh I cant believe all you girls are so close to dropping i remember when i was about to drop going mad like you are, you girls were quite early on! And for the record i hated RLT too, tried it twice and hated it twice. Im sure i have a box in the cupboard still unopened as they were buy one get one free haha. I'll post it to someone if they want. Hope you all start popping soon i wana see all your gorgeous bubbas xx

 

[AnnabelsMummy]

Awww.. ahh well if she's not here by Due date.. i'm getting someone to drive me to southend, so i can walk it - even though i'll probably take about a year, what with sitting down every 5 seconds or needing the loo!! haa..
xxxx

 

[Natasha2605]

Aw I hope your LO makes an appearance soon. But what you said about finishing a meal.. Summer's 7 weeks and I think I've had a meal when it's been ready twice so you might be in for a long wait lol! xx

Thank youu.. i'm going slightly crazy now - was looking for bin bags in the fridge this morning..
OH told me to get him a plate and i gave him a pan - easy mistakes.. but i think baby brain has offically taken over..

and wow!! i just hate feeling hungry every two seconds, but not being able to eat a full meal, cause i get full up after about 3 bites
maybe it's preparing me - i ALWAYS have cold food now! getting quite a taste for itt..

[rockys-mumma]
