Okay I am 40 weeks today and desperate to get this little Madam out. I am worried she is going to be huge as both her Sisters were over over 9 pounds.
Now I know that lots of people will say “leave her alone” and “she will come when she is ready”…but I am ready now! I see no reason for her to stay inside just getting bigger and fatter. Husband has two weeks leave now and the longer she stays in, the less time we all have together as a family. Plus Poppy told me she was “bored of waiting” today.
We are all just ready to meet her and move on with our lives. We feel as though we are in limbo.
Anyway I have worked my way through the list of old wives tales including eating spicy food and pineapples, bouncing on the birthing ball, sex, walking, clary sage oil but nothing appears to be working. I have even tried some of the wierd ones like blowing up balloons and climbing the stairs sidewards as well as using the tens machine…. I told you I was desperate.
Well today I got on the trampoline at my parents house and bounced:
The girls thought it was hilarious. I bounced and bounced but all it did was make me need a wee! We will have to watch this space and see if it works.
Fingers crossed I don’t go to far over. I cant wait to post of photo of my new little bundle.

It was a comment all about how I sympathise with you as (a) Aaron was 8 days late and (b) he was 9 lbs 10 oz. Will be thinking of you. Liska x

July 23, 2012 at 9:22 am (12 years ago)ooh any day then…I’ll be looking out for news! I can sympathise with you, I remember this stage so well…..I did the trampoline & birthing ball thing & nothing worked for me I’m afraid. I just hope you don’t have to wait much longer, especially now the weather is hotting up! x
