I am absolutely going crazy. I know she'll come out when she's ready but I can't take it anymore. I have tried everything from sex to walking, from spicy food to teas, even the tweeking of the nipples. AND NOTHING. Please help.

I know it sounds completely absurd when you are overdue ( my son was two weeks late), but try to relax. Your due date may not be exact, they can be off by a few days to a week sometimes.
Go for lots of walks (stay close to home), have lots of sex (good sex!), orgasms release oxytocin which is the hormone that stimulates labour. Although the little tricks may not work, they will keep you distracted and in shape!
Most of all, enjoy the last few days you have with your daughter before you have to share her with the world. You'll miss the private conversations you can have with her now.
Best wishes to both of you when you do finally meet each other!

Welcome to the REAL world!!!!!! I really don't want to sound like a pessimistic person but I was in your shoes 2 1/2 months ago my due date was JULY 5 and she did not come until the 16th talk about a pain....this was my 2nd baby as well so I went 10 days early with my first daughter so I was told I would go even early this time....NOPE. I tried everything, I did not try Castor oil.....I'm one of those texture people but if you can do it more power to you!!! Just don't do anything dangerous...you have made it so far!

Well, looks like all the little tricks haven't worked for you...Congratuations! You're about to give birth to a stubborn little girl. :) She's going to make her appearance when she's good a ready and you can't make her come any earlier! It'll happen soon, and since you're past your due date, the dr will most likely give you a date to NOT go past. So if it doesn't happen naturally soon, it will in a few days with the help of the dr. GOOD LUCK!!

All of my kids were late and I got induced with most of them.Don't worry it'll happen soon.
If you are not against induction talk to your doctor about it,I was in horrible pain when overdue and my doctors have never told me no.Sometimes you have to be a little insistent though.Good Luck with your new Arrival!!
Oh,some midwives suggest Castor Oil,the bad part,it can give you horrible diarrhea (and baby still might not come :)

Could be that the docs were off on the dates to begin with but if the baby is big enough and developed enough...you can ask to be induced.
Sex, giving the house a good clean and exercise may help.

Oh my god sweetie i wish i could help you.Isn't it miserable,it makes it even worse that your doctor wants to keep you pregnant for what seems like an eternity.I was in the same boat as you are.I drank a 4 oz. bottle of castor oil,which can't hurt your baby or you,it just aggrivates your digestive track which rubs against your uterus and stimulates contractions.It worked for me within 12 hours i had my baby.You could try that,oh you poor thing.Try to hang in there,your almost there.

Relax, there is nothing you can do to cause yourself to go into labor. Everything you tried is just like "wivestales" nothing is proven to cause you to go into labor. One could only wish right!
I am sorry that you oare overdue, and I know your ready to explode, but give it time, she will be here soon.
Good Luck!

There's pretty much nothing you can do to make her come any earlier. You just gotta wait it out...I know it's not fun being overdue, I was three days overdue and when my baby was born the cord was lightly wrapped around her neck..Try contacting your doctor to see if he/she will induce you, b/c you really dont want the baby's cord to be around her neck...Good Luck , and Congratulations!!

It happens, my mother's friend was just over two weeks overdue. Bless you soul. Have you tried chamomile? No one will get any points for this, if it works you'll be in labor:)

I could say it could much more likely to be the fellow that ejaculated in you however it might be the opposite man aswell considering the fact that theres a factor known as pre ejaculation which occurs earlier than they achieve this he might pf had that however now not ***.
