Still waiting... 2 days overdue

[Baby_j]

So after the failed sweep on monday, im currently 2 days overdue! Im so fed up, i wanna meet my lil buba! I have tried everything in the book to get things going from curries to sex. As of yet, nothings worked. I keep getting calls and texts to see weather baby has arrived yet which is also annoying, although i understand people want to know, but surely i would tell them! I have another sweep booked on monday, but tbh i just want him/her out now. I feel like ive been pregnant forever!

What is it with January babies eh lol. I think they must be experiencing the after-xmas blues as they dont wanna come out and say hi!

Really hope ur sweep works on Monday, I've seen a couple of posts in reply to similar issues that have said that the second sweep was more successful so fingers crossed for u xx

Have you tried acupressure, reflexology or an aromatherapy massage, supposedly they can help. I haven't tried them myself, but even if they don't start things off, they'll give you a nice chill out time. Obviously you need to find a practitioner who knows what they're doing re inducing labour using these methods.

I started having contractions after a long walk and my husband giving me permission to have the baby because he had completed an assignment for the course he was doing!

I saw a good post on Facebook the other day for those last few days - Keep calm status will be updated when baby is born! facebook.com/photo.php?fbid...

[Baby_j in reply to Hidden]

No havent tried them, i havent found anyone who does it in my area as of yet. I went for a long walk yesterday so hopefully it will speed things up x

I was in the same boat as you last week. At 39 weeks I had a sweep...no joy had another at 40+2 which worked my little boy was born on 16th (5 days late).

[Baby_j in reply to HoratioSparks]

Its so annoying whn your expecting something and then time passes and still nothing!x

[HoratioSparks]

I don't think they should give an precise date when your baby should be born maybe instead they should say "January some time"

Ah good luck BabyJ, cant believe it is past your due date.
