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'm trying to be civil, see things from different perspectives and avoid arguments. The grey economy is cash in hand, so no tax to be paid, Chancellor loses out, we all win. Zero hrs contracts must be tough not knowing where or when the next work is coming from.  My position might not be great, but with a bit of sensible weekly shopping, stocking up on best buys etc. one survives and life ain't that bad.  
    • I'm trying to find a venue for my daughter's 18th but it's really difficult. Most venues don't want 18th birthday parties. We were looking at Brockwell Hall (The newly refurbed big ol' house in the park) but they want 4.5k for a night which has to finish at 11pm. My daughter tells me her friends don't go out till 11 which I think may be an exageration but I get her point. I'm looking for a bar/club type venue where I can have a DJ till 1/2am and that's about it. Any ideas would be appreciated.
    • My Conure just flew away outside.  She flew towards Belvoir Road.   Please call me if you see her.  She isn't tame but she is too small to survive the other birds will kill her. Please call me  07739180197. Or.  07504852207. Carolyn 
    • “Fair points, not arguing with you on them” This outbreak of civility between us is beginning to worry me ! im approaching pension age soon enough myself and im sorry to hear your position isn’t great.  But current pensions are not the result of  any 1 year government (they literally couldn’t be) but decades of priorities across multiple govts and voter priorities  21k won’t get your fat these days as a worker. Transport and other costs before they even get to accommodation. And they will work hard for that then you have the grey economy and zero hour contracts where people earn far less than that  again - your position doesn’t sound great but that’s no reason to deny a new generation  Me and jazzer at next forum drinks  https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/mar/28/dining-across-the-divide-i-see-the-welfare-state-as-bloated-corrupt
