Answer 2

I know how you feel! I had my baby by C-section at 38 weeks and I'd had ENOUGH! That was 13 weeks ago and I have to admit there are days when I could ask the doctor to put her back in! Make the most of your last days of peace and rest! Once the baby is born you will hardly have a minute to yourself. I was averaging 5 days between hair washes at the beginning, and sometimes 7. I didn't eat apart from when someone actually put food in front of me and got very little sleep. It's worth noting that this is with an easy baby, she hardly cries, sleeps well and, apart from the first 8 weeks, eats well. I'm not complaining, I wouldn't miss a minute of it but it's never easy. Go and put the kettle on, put your feet up and enjoy catching up on some trashy TV! Best of luck to you and your little bundle! x (If that's not enough then walk, eat curry, have sex,etc. and hope for the best!)

Answer 3

You don't want to hurry it along untill 38 weeks, as if you have baby b4, it could be dangerous, as babes lungs may not be ready for brathing untill that time. I'm a mother of 2, only been in labour once though, as 2nd was c- section. With my first, i was really uncomfortable in the later stages i was a week late, someone suggested, having intercourse, (as unappetising as it may seem, and probably the last thing your thinking of right now!) i tried it and two days later my contractions started. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but aparently sperm is supposed to soften your cervix, which can bring contractions on! Failing this, if you are not coping at all, take a visit to your midwife and tell her how you are feeling, and she may suggest that you are induced! Sorry for the gory details and good luck, just think, in a maximum of four weeks time you will have a beautiful baby and no more feeling huge! just focus on the end result, and it should take your mind of it!!!

Answer 4

You may feel bad at wanting your baby out, this is normal, I think we all feel like this near the end. We feel huge, unattractive and can't get comfy etc. Knowing what I know now....make the most of the peace, because as wonderful as children are, you will have the next 18+ years running around after your baby.

If you really want your little angel out, have a hot curry, sit on a bucket, have a long walk, or do what I did, I cut the grass on a sit on mower, started me off. At the end of the day though your baby will make his/her apperance into the big wide world when they are ready.

Good luck, have a cuppa, flick tv on, and relax.

Answer 5

between the physician's regular situation is lung progression. Even understanding your theory date did you comprise both weeks that are protected once you at the on the spot are not even pregnant (thats why the ask for the first day of your very last menstrual). So once you're 2 months preg, the toddler has in basic terms lived for 6 weeks, not 8. meaning alot.So are you 38 wks and four days? you're high quality, once you're considered finished time period the medical docs are really positive that you toddler received't have any significant topics. Now temperature regulation occurs really usually, its not something to agonize about, this is like a toddler being jaundice.

Answer 6

LOL I'm, 28 weeks and want it over with! Fed up of being tired and nauseous! I bet I'll be just as bad when I get to your stage and desperate to have it over.

A baby is considered full term from 37 weeks so its not as though your baby being born now would make him/her premature. Its not always possible to "hurry it along" yourself though, I've heard tales or people trying to do so with long walks, hot curries, lots of sex etc and it doesn't always work.

I would speak to your doctor or midwife - they can perhaps give you some idea of how long you have to go and whether they think its worth you having a sweep or something to perhaps start you off. There's no harm in trying long walks, sex and curries in the meantime, they won't hurt you or the baby, (the walks are good for you and the sex and curries are just enjoyable!!).

Answer 7

Oh hunny - I am right there with you! I am 36 yrs old and 39 weeks along! And trust me - I AM READY! Sometimes I feel the same way - a little selfish, but I think it's perfectly normal. It's hard being a more 'mature' preggo ... I had my first when I was 22 & second when I was 24, and this is a WHOLE DIFFERENT BALL GAME! But MANY woman of ANY age at the end of her pregnancy feel tired and anxious and ready to have her body back to herself! I'm not gonna say "it wont belong" ... just take one day at a time & try to keep busy. That's what I'm trying to do! I hope it comes soon for you - along with the many blessings of having that little one in your arms & NOT in your belly! God bless!

Answer 8

I know how you feel been there three times myself and unfortunately babies come when ready some good old remedies that I was given and I add never worked as dynamite would never have shifted my lot to comfy for their own good and now all adults still at home again to comfy for own good. Anyway I digress here is the list.
1: cod liver oil - tastes disgusting and made me vomit
2: A good hot curry - enjoyed but not the heart burn after
3: Sex - really enjoyed however husband to scared for a good round
4: Hot Bath - Did break my waters but still 14 hour wait *****!
5: Fruit barrels of it- Made me sit on the toilet all day but no labour as I said dynamite needed for me.
6: A good long walk- I made it to shops to knackered for anymore!
7: Houswork to the extreme hovering, dusting the lot - nice clean house but NO baby.
8: Gave up and waited until ready or doctor intervened- not pleasent.

Good luck and nappy times ahead!

Answer 9

My daughter wanted the baby to hurry up and come, so I took her out for the hottest curry she could stomach, then afterwards drove her up and down a humpback bridge, then when we got back we rubbed 'jasmin oil' (very expensive) on her tummy, then she had a hot bath, as she was in the bath her pains started, she has the baby within 5 hours from start to finish lol.

When she told me she was having pains, I admit I did scoff a bit, as I didnt expect it to work so fast, and I said to her, 'Oh you have plenty time yet', she's shouting at me, saying, ' I havent (not in those exact words ) lol, so we drove her up to the hospital and she had quite an easy birth.

Funny enough I did the same when I was carrying her, minus the humpback bridge, I had a friend either side of me running me up and down our little road, and it worked.

Answer 10

Baby will come in it's own good time. You have been so patient so long, it is only a matter of days now.

Walking helps and sometime sex can speed up labour, but other than that (or being induced) you just have to hang on there.

It will all be fine and you will not remember any of these difficuly times when you have your lovely baby in your arms.

Good luck

Answer 11

i can remember being really knackered at 38 weeks. so dont feel guilty. sex can help speed up the process. the semen has prostoglandin i it which is the same chemical found it the pesseries that you get when you are being induced.
good luck it worked for me either that you could try the raspberry tea and caster oil method . i think the first suggestion is more fun. anyway at 38 weeks the baby is more than preapared to pop.
