Excuse me....

[mayday]

But could you all stop talking about having babies please - I think it's a bit tactless given how late I am .

My baby seems to have got her arms and legs straight out and braced herself against my insides and is refusing to come out. It's even more annoying given that my hindwaters went 4 weeks ago and she has been fully engaged for 5 weeks .

I went to 2 antenatal courses, and am the only one from each course not to have managed to produce a baby yet, even those due after me have had them!

Having a visit from the midwife tomorrow to see if we can't persuade her to come out. Hopefully the midwife will have a few ideas. I've exhausted my ideas - pineapple, curry, sex, bouncing, acupressure, long walks. I've got through more raspberry leaf tablets than you can shake a stick at I've even spent a night in a cowshed in a flood, and OH has had his car break down on my due date which should have guaranteed something to happen.

Keep putting on clean pants every hour? Might encourage those waters to go
Just proves baby comes when baby's ready, but I really hope your LO arrives soon for you

Your baby's 'STARFISHING IT'

That's what we said when Stanley was stuck fast. Too much good baby glue my love

Sorry to hear you're fed up, hope things get moving soon for you

Try the nipple stimulation thing - no idea if it works, but it sounds like fun

Hope things happen soon

failing that, wear your oldest greyest granniest pants, LO will be sure to make an appearance and embarrass the hell out of you (prob in front of some hunky male hospital worker!)
