My first was 2 weeks early and I didn't do anything to help - i was (and still am) against baby coming before 39 weeks if poss after a campaign I saw from march of dimes about what is classed as "full term". I kinda expect to go early again but now kumber has me worried I will probably go the full two weeks over lol!

I started trying at 37 weeks out of sheer impatience. I've tried it all... Still here! All it's got me is 2 false labours (which cause a lot of pain, for no result) so I wouldn't recommend forcing anything. If you want to have sex, then do. If you fancy a curry, have one. But try not to focus on it. The stress will stop labour more than anything will start it! I trying to get in the mindset of only worrying if induction is looming... Then I'll be having sex with anything that moves while stuffing a scotch bonnet in my face! X

I did absolutely feck all and baby arrived early at bang on 39 weeks. Which pissed me off slightly as I'd only finished work at 37 weeks, and had the Sex and City box set and a huge chocolate stash to work my way through!!! Hoping number two is the same though as imagine I'll be sick of being pregnant this time seeing as I have to run around after a toddler as well.

1st pregnancy i tried walking, bouncing on the ball, bumpy roads, spicy food but nothing worked. I had to be induced after going 14 days over. My body certainly did nothing in terms of being ready to go into labour. My cervix was long & far back etc... complete opposite from what it should be. This time iv hit 37 weeks i will be trying it all!! Found new spicy noodles i like. Weve been dtd pretty regular & will continue to (didnt 1st preg) started RLT capsules. Im bouncing on the ball. I attempt long walks however the cramps and pelvic pains sometimes get the better of me. Im loosing plug this time also which i dont really remember happening last time. Iv had BH a kot this time whereas 1st preg i got them once. So fx all this is doing something! I wont be getting a. Sweep till 2 days after my due date so il have no idea what shape my cervix is in till then :/ xx

I walked and even ran a bit in the park. Jumped down the stairs. Did lots of silly dancing and squats. Drank loads of raspberry leaf tea (it doesn't start labor but when your labor does start it makes your contractions really strong and they do the job so hopefully you won't be in labor forever and that was what happened to me) I even ended up having a bit of castor oil in pineapple juice & had had two sweeps when I went into labor the next morning. I believe they all contributed to me going into labor.

My mum and I had the same symptoms/things we've gone off when she was having me and my brother boiled eggs and eggs of any kind made her ill during the whole first trimester and the same with me during mine but only during the foes trimester. In the end she had an egg and cress sand which with us both and went 2 weeks early. I've avoided egg and cress just incase oh and cornflakes helped her and my morning sickness xxx
