Any tips on not going crazy waiting for an overdue baby!?
Hi everyone,
I hope you are well.
I'm now 40+3 and going insane!! The past 3 weeks have gone so slowly and everyday all I can think about is every little twinge which I wouldn't normally even noticed.
I've tried everything I can think of to bring on my labour but baby is obviously waiting for Christmas!
If anyone has been in a similar situation or has any tips for not going crazy it would be very much appreciated!

My son was over 41 weeks but the thing that did the trick was raspberry tea. Good luck hun, i hope my little girl due in June isnt as bad as her brother lol.

did you go for acupunture in the end? your belly is obviously far to comfy and plus it is horrible cold weather out there
I know this sounds a bit mad but I altered my due date (in my head) by adding 2 weeks on as I knew I would defo have my baby in that time or be induced. It just took the pressure of thinking I'm so many days late away.
I tried lots of things to kick start labour but don't really think any of them worked!
Good luck and hope your babe decides to get a move on.

I really think i'll be joining the March club ricechristy! I hope you have space for me! I have researched accupressure on the net and tried doing it but i was probably doing it all wrong!
I've been taking raspberry leaf tablets too but have run out now, I only had a bottle of 20. If the sweep doesn't do much tomorrow then I might by another bottle!
I want some pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxxxx
Sorry if TMI & she'd kill me if she knew I was telling people this but she said she had read about stimulating the nipples & so the evening she went into labour she had a bath & lathered herself in cream especially around the nipple area. Just a few hours later her waters broke & the next evening her daughter was born so it might be worth a try lol!
