Due Tomorrow !!!!!!
Posted: 11-09-05 01:28am

Ladies, I have had a moment of clarity- while replying to a question asking about hot baths at 39 weeks.

When your time approaches, don't waste your time and energy trying to hurry things up. I don't think anything will work unless you are on the brink of labour anyway.

I've been drinking rasbeery leaf tea for ages, switched to rasberry leaf capsules last week, and started drinking cumin seed tea almost hourly since yesterday. I've been taking evening primrose oil for a couple of weeks, and even putting a couple of capsules internally to help soften my cervix- big fat nothing all 'round. I've blisters from walking, my nipples are nealry falling off with all the stimulation i've been gicing them, and I think i'm getting arthritis in my thumbs and forefingers from the same, my husband is exhausted (not to mention winded) with all the sex, my mouth is raw with eating fresh pineapple, and i've got a stomach and fanny full of everything i've read that will help bring on labour.
I bought black cohosh (which just made me feel sick) and even had a shot of castor oil, which is apparently a favourite with midvwives- I had the runs for ages and ended up with a heamorriod (very nice)
i don't know what i'm more tired of, pregnancy or home remedies !!!!!!
I should have been spending all this time and energy enjoying the last time i'll have alone with my daughter before her little sister arrives.
That's what i'm going to do right now, go make some memories with her, take some photos, capture this precious time while we've got it.
Talk to you in a couple of days.
(what's the bet I go into labour now that i'm not soo keen? !!!!!)

Enjoy the time left with your daughter, & also enjoy the time you have left being pregnant. Before you know it you'll be missing that big ol' belly!
Good luck - I hope everything goes well!!
