goodness HeidiHi .. you have had such a similar pregnancy to me .. the wait drags doesn't it .. have you done acupuncture or reflexology yet? reflexology worked for me - we did it late friday night (after i burst into tears at the thought of a medical induction that had been booked for the monday coming) - i went into labour a few hours late and he was born at home in water! just make sure the bub is engaged before bring on on the labour .. mind you breaking of the water is supposed to "flush" them out .. didn't work for me and i had push him down myself .. hard work!


BUT if you do end up going with the medical induction just remember the end result - it's totally worth every minute - jut keep positive and strong!

Has anyone mentioned nipple tweaking, it worked for my baby when I was 2 weeks overdue. Verona Hall (a local midwife) recommended this and it sent me into labour about 2 hours later. I had previously had no Braxton hicks or any signs of anything rumbling down below!


Here's some info I found on google:


Nipple Stimulation to Self-induce


This is a practice often recommended by midwives when a woman is long past due or when labor is stalled. Nipple stimulation causes the release of oxytocin, the same hormone that causes uterine contractions. Many women report, however, that the contractions produced from this method are much stronger and more painful than natural labor, but are not any more effective. Please note: In order to use this method for induction, you must stimulate the nipples for long periods of time. The usual recommendation is 15 minutes of continual stimulation on each nipple each hour for several hours. So, the amount of stimulation you may experience during intimacy, while nursing an older child, or while pumping your breasts while pregnant will not cause you to go into labor. The general recommendation on these activities is to abstain from them when your condition warrants doctor recommended pelvic rest. Please check with your practitioner before trying this.

Hello....not sure if you're still waiting?


I had an induction [2nd baby] was deffo the easiest of all 3 births.


I just had the gel pessary and went to sleep in hospital [they gave me the pessary at 10pm] woke 7 hrs later in labour and the baby was born in under 1hr and a half!


intense labour but i was glad it was quick.


Good luck.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Ms P · Posted

      I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.

      JP Plastering - John McCann - Recommended Plasterer

      By Ms P · Posted

      John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
