baby, you've come this far. just hang in a little longer. I know just how you're feeling, but I promise it will happen. if your doctor has put you on bed rest, you need to stay in bed sweet heart. hang in a little longer and your new life will begin!
Congratulations!

Make sure you are drinking lots of water. I know it sounds crazy but when I went to the hospital for false labor with my son they told me if you are dehydrated you may not know it and it can hinder labor. Also squatting and rocking can help engage the babies head better down into the pelvis and help put pressure on the cervix. Lots of Luck! Hang in there hon your so close!

Sweetie I know it feels like forever, but it will come quickly, you have to let it just happen. Go get the baby clothes ready and sterilize everything...People always think they are prepared and then when the baby comes its share madness....Take your time and finish prepping the babies stuff, and relax...This will be your last opportunity to relax, that's what you really need to think about.

Your doing all you can do they just come in there own time I liked the dusting method myself I would clean my whole house top to bottom and just when I would give up and go to bed at about 4 they would come. this work three of the four times the fourth took a c section she was just stubborn.

when i was 39 weeks the girls at work told me to eat some mexican food, walk around the mall and go home and have sex with my husband, i still had to be induced a few days later! the mexican food was really yummy though, so that made it worth while!

The walking will do alot of help. It sure help me with my first son. And the sex will too, it help me with my second son. So maybe alot of the combinaton of the two may work for you. But honestly relax it will happen at the right time.

When the baby is ready, he or she will let you know. You don't have too much longer.
