Answer 1

Nothing you can do, but let nature take it's course. The baby is staying in there for a reason. Let him/her take their time, it's almost over anyways.

Answer 2

Having a few orgasms is my best advise to see if you go into labor. But I seen you have had sex and it did not work. You can all ways try again, least it is one of the things that does not hurt you with all the myths out there on how to start labor.

I feel for you I was 4 weeks, almost 3 weeks and 2 weeks late with my third. It is a hard wait. I tried so many things. some would make you laugh and most are just plain embarrassing. lol
I even slept in the baby new room.

But while you wait i think it is best to read on being induced. I am sure you planned on having your baby the way you wanted not hook to a machine. But that may change. It is best to be ready.
You may want to pack different things in your bag to the hospital.
Like a DVD movieor a good book. Because it wil take a little time to get everything ready for you to settle in while they give you a IV and all.

Hang in there hun Try babycenter.com for what to take and to expect if you need to be induced.

Answer 3

I was 10 days overdue and it was the longest 10 days ever. I tried all the usual but all they are are OLD WIVES TALES and it won't work!

The only one with an ounce of truth is having sex becase semen contains a little hormone which is known to induce labour but only in a very small volume.

Keep having sex - its fun and might help!

Answer 5

I'm sorry to say there is nothing that will bring the baby out other than when he or she is ready. i am a mother of a one year old. an i to was overdue..i tried everything sex,pineapple,Castor oil, spicy food, running up and down stairs an absolutely nothing worked.its sad to say as i know how you feel but you'll just have to wait. good luck.

Answer 6

totally sympathise with you. I was fifteen days overdue when my daughter was born. I spent the last 5 days of my pregnancy in hospital being induced listening to all the newborns in the ward next door. I was desperate for my own baby to be born. Hang in there. good luck x x

Answer 7

When you have sex, you need to do it doggy style, and you need to orgasm 1st then ur partner needs to shoot his "man milk" then go on all 4's for about 10 minutes, then walk round the house for about half an hour

GOOD LUCK !!!!

ps this worked for me on both of my previous pregnancies, and as soon as im over due ( 10 days) i shall be doing it all over again !!!!

Answer 8

i was 2 weeks over with my 1st and nothing worked i tried the castor oil in the bath,plenty of sex,hot currys and i still had to be started off and she still took ages to come out im afraid it's just a waiting games babes xxx good luck x

Answer 9

all the remedies in the world will not work until your cervix is 'ripe' (what a word!) until this happens you could be eating pineapple,walking and having sex all at the same time and your labour still wouldn't start.

Answer 10

oooohh, honey! hang in there! have sex whenever you can, that really makes your cervix thin out! it works-my daughter is proof of that! she came right in the nick of time-december 24th and it's a good thing because i couldn't have been pregnant for one more day! my legs were huge, my ankles-gone! and sleeping just didn't happen because of those damn charlie horses i kept getting!sometimes if you mention to your midwife or doctor that you cannot sleep at all, they'll give you something to help you or tell you to take tylenol pm. best thing i found to help me relax was a warm bath and a backrub. get your honey to help you out and relax as much as you can! best of luck to you, sweetie! your life is gonna change in the best way!

Answer 11

have you thought about being induced? my doctor said it is VERY common place to be induced UP TO one week before your due date. i've already decided i'm being induced ON my due date, Friday April 27.

all of those old wives tales are JUST TALES. this is my 5th child and NOTHING i have ever tried worked to start labor on my own. the day before my "due date" with child #4 i walked a 40 acre field IN THE SNOW (i'm a realtor and the property couldn't show itself)... but i was SURE that would do it... NOPE, NOTHING.
