It really is, and you get frustrated with people only ringing to see if baby has arrived , not how are you? Just has baby arrived? 😫😫

in reply toLaurenr1991

Oh god yeah. I got so fed up with that in the end I didn’t reply to anyone 😂. Hope you don’t have to wait too much longer xx

I did everything with mine including multiple sweeps 😭

Still had to be induced at 42 weeks 😂

The end is tortureee hang in there!

I think sex helped my baby come exactly on his due date. I know it’s probably the last thing you want to do but worth a try. I remember with my little boy we had sex before bed and then I was laying in bed and I felt a pop! Waters had broke, went into labour, 36 hours later on his due date baby arrived!

Sex definitely helps as there is something in the semen that can trigger labour. I also tried walking as much as possible and raspberry leaf tea. Fingers crossed for you x

I was induced with my first at 42 weeks, painful but quickly labour and birth, with my second at 42 weeks on induction day I gone into labour after trying everything (including the famous castor oil) very painful labour then first but quick. I wish you an easy delivery and I think baby came when they are ready. Stay healthy 👍🤞

Hi Lauren

Hope it happens soon for you. I have a 4 month old now. Waited until 42 weeks. Tried walking, curry, sex, 3 sweeps, bouncing on ball...and then it took 2 days induction to get him out 😆

Good look x
