Overdue baby, what to do in the meantime?

Millions of people eat spicy food all the time and do not go into labour because of it. best wishes.

I thought the exact same thing. If that was the case then surely India would be full of premature and bang-on-time babies, with no-one ever going overdue???

These things are fun to try (maybe not 5 pineapples, but the sex, well it's fun until you squish your partner or realise that your legs just wont go that way anymore or run out of puff 3mins in!) but you will only go into labour when it's time. Best to just spend the time relaxing and drinking water.

So now I have to ask the great question....

Have you not popped yet?

I have no advice as I don't have any kids but I told my OH last night that he should look forward to the day I am pregnant/overdue for the sex and nipple stimulation:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh yes if he likes having sex with a mammoth in strange positions and getting covered in leaking spurty milk from nipple stimulation :rotfl: or is that just me?!

LOL :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I won't tell him that bit mumslave!!! I am at that stage where I am forever dropping hints about babies and engagement rings LOL LOL It is a joke - most of the time!

Since I have said I am going to lose some weight he has this habit of jiggling my belly LOL I have advised him that if I get pregnant he can touch my tummy all he likes!

mumslave

ahhhh in that case tell that that most women get hornier in pregnancy and want it on a daily basis (not strictly true lol some go the oppposite and dont want it ever again) that should get him very interested in having a baby :rotfl: also to expect you to go up at least 4 cup sizes....talk to his brain in other words :P

LegalBlonde

I will def mention the cup size thing LOL as he is always trying to convince me to get a boob job! (I know he is only joking really) In my line of work I just seem them going wrong all the time so I am not yet convinced LOL THanks for the tips LOL and good luck to the OP!!!

I hated the "have you had your baby yet?" phone calls. I just used to say yes, of course I have!

I went 2 weeks over with my Son and ended up being induced. I would recommend filling your day with trips to see family/friends for coffee, window shopping etc... You have something to look forward to and it's better to cancel things lol!

mumslave, my son is called Ellis, I love the name and it's not one I've heard anyone use it!

mumslave

Its a lovely name, I chose it because its the maiden name of my step mother and my step grandparents, my granny in particular I was very fond of. I would have had it as a first name, but I had some problems in this pregnancy and for a while it looked like Noah would be born between 18-24 weeks of pregnancy...we wanted a name meaning survivor and my particular problem was to do with hemorraging, so we went for Noah, surviver of the floods. As it happened, all turned out fine in the end
