Don't do it!! I know it's tempting but the number of people I know who have ended up not in labour but with uncomfortable post spicy curry tummy on top of their late pregnancy woes....It's just not worth it. Particularly if you DO end up in labour...you really don't want to be also wanting to sit on the loo most of the time.


Maybe there are other positive experiences people can share.


I tried acupuncture at 9 days overdue. I was in labour 48 hours later. Probably coincidence. Ended up a very long protracted labour (over 48 hours) so have always wondered whether he didn't like being hurried!


When was/is your due date? Have you had enough?! Quite understand that one...

i agree, worst case you end up with a bad stomach during labour!


things that i think worked for me are reflexology, a sweep, and kerb walking (which sounds awful but its walking with one foot on and one off the kerb)


i ate so many hot curries i went off curry (and i really love curry)


having said that... tandoori nights is my curry house of choice.

Ah, Tandoori nights!!!!


I love their chicken red chicken handi... Please tell me they still do it. Haven't been since the boy arrived 4 years ago as they don't deliver and we'd moved beyond easy pick up distance...


Don't go near it Sophie - its nuclear and will mess with your insides but God I love it.

I had an early baby so no direct experience but remember some friends talking about some rosehip tea or something which they got from the health shop on LL. The staff in there are always very helpful I find, perhaps worth going to see them and ask for their opinion?

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
