Advice needed please

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how to get my waters to break? My plug has gone and I feel like I could burst any moment but it’s not happening. I’ve had 3 occasions now where I’ve laboured for several hours with little to no progress and I’m fed up of it now (40 weeks now)

Try miles circuit exercise

You need to do any exercise that will help widen your pelvis so lunges rocking back and forth on all fours in a front pose and from side to side and in a figure of eight

You don't want your waters to break too early, you need contractions. Are you able to try intercourse? That's the best way. Or a membrane sweep from midwife?

How would you feel?

I had 2 c-sections and my BD made the comment that the sound my flesh made when being cut by the doctor was the same sound the flesh of the pig makes when he and his uncles cut it up after slaughtering.
I said it is not very nice to compare me to a pig but he just said he was surprised that it was the same sound.

Baby hasn’t dropped

If my baby hasn’t dropped is it a sign that labour is nowhere near?

Baby is so high and it’s so uncomfortable above my belly button, like they’re arching their back

Do they have to drop for labour to start, or is this not always the case

FED UP

I just want to make sure I’m not alone…
I don’t know if it’s the heat or what…
I’m 31 weeks and I’m absolutely fed up!!!
I’m exhausted trying to carry on working to 36 weeks full time and looking after my EXTREMELY energetic 4 1/2 year old🥲.
We’ve wanted another baby for so long but I haven’t enjoyed pregnancy one bit this time I’ve been in and out of hospital for months and now planned to have baby at 37 weeks due to complications but I’m just so done.
I’m desperate to leave work but want as long as possible off.

Someone just please tell me it’s not just me. Feel like I’ve completely lost myself in this pregnancy.

Ps. I JUST WANT A GLASS OF ROSÈ🙃🥹.

Labour

Hi everyone, 40+2 weeks today. I've been having terrible back pain for 3 day, got very intense today to my waist down to my leg😫 I couldn't even sit, was peeing myself as I couldn't sit on the toilet. This my first baby, so I called the triage and they ask me to come for examine. They checked me, I'm currently 1cm and cervix is thin, so went back home. I'm still feeling the pains coming and going right now. Please how soon do you think i can give birth 😫
