I’m already 3 days over due and getting so fed up and deflated she still isn’t here, I’ve opted not to have a sweep, pains come and go,
Light period cramps and back ache then stops. she is already completely head engaged and shoulders but no sign of coming any time soon.
Is this anything I can do to start labour.
Want her here now!

I’m 38 weeks today and had this for a few days now! So disheartening when you think it’s starting and then nothing comes of it! We have been trying everything but nothing has worked so far!
Hope your little one comes soon 💕

I feel you sister !
I’m 6 days over due and along with the heat it’s not been ideal! Our baby is engaged too but nothings happening xx

I know tell me about it, I’m really hoping so too. Getting so fed up!
Fingers crossed your one comes soon. 🤞

Drink gallons of raspberry leaf tea, dates (if you don’t like them, get choc ones) birthing ball and last of all SEX if you have a partner x

perfect thank you, I’m going to try the dates and the raspberry tea, fingers crossed that works!!! 🤞

aww bless you, have you had a sweep?
It’s horrid, weather hasn’t been great. Xx

I’m 40 weeks + 2 had 3 sweeps getting 4th today and still nothing. I know how your feeling x

I feel for you, these babies are being very stubborn! Fingers crossed your sweep works, I’m now thinking of having one if she isn’t here by weekend x

yeah had one last Wednesday and it caused a bloody show that’s it. And then yesterday she attempted again but my babies head was in the way of the cervix 😂😂😂x x

Having same issue!

every time we have sex it sets off Braxton hicks and get so hopefull! But much to my partners delight we will keep trying 🤣🤣

it’s so frustrating isn’t it, I’ve just tempted to walk around l have drunk two cups of raspberry tea today, going to tempt another 3/4 move about. Keep going up down the stairs. I think where I have opted for not having a sweep I feel she isn’t coming x

oh crikey, fingers crossed the next one you have works. I’m thinking my labour isn’t starting due to not having one x

yep definitely on the raspberry leaf tea! I was told by my midwife to eat dates and strawberries and have sex! So yes the benefits are great for my husband!
Minor pains but not much happening to be honest. I am going for a walk again today!
