ooh ooh ooooooh!!!!!!!!!!! I just remembered what started my labour with DD1, a friend recommended trying it.... RADOX bubble bath, with Juniper!!!! I just googled it, and its on the list of stuff to not use at all b4 37 weeks as its a uterine stimulant or something I used almost a whole bottle in the bath mind u lol! worth a shot for those desperate hhah! xx

Haha I got a bottle of Radox at my baby shower yesterday! Will have to bear that in mind if I go overdue and get desperate!

I'm so impatient now, I just want my baby! If I end up being over due I think I will go crazy. Seriously don't know how Kira is managing to stay sane these days.

If you can hear him stirring/crying Mozzy I'd say that's fine! I think we all worry so much these days about everything I know I'm the same

So true, thanks Gilly

Aww Gilly! how about getting some to put in a oil burner? The oil obviously not the radox lol! Its defo Juniper, not sure what it`d smell like pure tho! Obviously isnt as strong in the bubble bath lol!
Annabella is it the dark green bubble bath as thats the one that "works!" lol xx

I will see how it goes, OH has exams and stuff until the 18th, so baby has 10 days left in there and then I want him out! My twinges are becoming more and more frequent so I'm hoping that's a sign, if not, come the 18th it's DTD 3 times a day, bouncing on my ball for the rest of the hours I have and hot curry every night for tea!

Sane? Sane? Who said anything about sane..:eek: Have spent most of the day sitting on the sofa veering madly between crying and looking depressed. DH not sure what to do with me TBH, and i suspect he is wondering how on earth he is going to manage till Weds! Am trying to stay chilled about it all, and its not the labour thing stressing me out, just the not knowing, being utterly out of control of it all, and the worry of knowing the longer i go over, the higher the likelyhood of something bad happening to bean, and/or surgical interventions . Plus, and i know its a bit stupid, i feel like a bit of a failure that i cant seem to do this by myself without an intervention. See, now i've set myself off again!

Hahaha I dont think i`m going to be able to manage DTD at all soon enough, never mind 3 times a day! And also, its supposed to be u swallowing ur mans goods that brings labour on better than dtd lol! Altho personally, sod that too! Baby will come when he comes (ask me again how i feel come due date ) and if not will wait for induction. That does worry me actually as last 2 labours were quick, and wondering if induction would give me a longer labour
6 whole hours to myself 2moro! DD3 does all day Monday at nursery now, dunno what i`m going to do wih my free time! Oh yes i do....housework lol. Food shopping needs doing too
Hope everyone has had a good weekend?? I`m looking forward to next Sunday evening, that new programme starts at 8pm on BBC1 Call the Midwife xx

Hugs Kira! Bless you, it won't be much longer!

Not sure emmylou, I think it's the 'original' one... It's in a bag on the other side of the room right now and I've got a cat asleep on my lap so can't check right now... Will let you know when I can!
