Hi

My daughter is overdue now and has been down in Kyle court for 5 weeks she is getting really fed up

Anyone got any suggestions how to start her off :D

Its like baby is so comfy in there doesn't want to come out, who could blame him/her really [lol] cold and miserable

Any help i could pass on to her would be great

Thanx :D

How long overdue? In my experience, baby comes when baby decides he's ready.

hmmm your jeep icon bouncing along the road makes me recall this old remedy... several trips bouncing over the railroad tracks is supposed to do the trick. good luck.

I was 2 weeks overdue before 'they' decided to induce me. Kept insisting I got my dates wrong. Then after the birth 'they' said my son was 4 weeks late! So much for the experts! But that was over 30 years ago.

My wife was 13 days overdue then had to be induced was in labour for 22 hours (without any pain relief) then had a c-section at the end of that!
She should count herself lucky she in in Raigmore!!!

Aw what a shame. She must be so fed up!!

Raspberry tea is supposed to help.http://www.birthease.co.uk/birthease_shop/Raspberry-Leaf-Tea.shtml?gclid=CIupvryOtKQCFd_-2AodP3mT0A

Raspberry leaf tea is a suggestion. I drank it for the last 3 weeks of pregnancy and my son arrived on his due date.

I would give it a miss!
All it will do is give her the squits...which might take her mind off being overdue...but thats not a great way to spend the time!
Better off going for a good walk...traipse round the shops looking at baby stuff if need be and a long soak in the bath...
Use radox muscle ...whatsitcalled the green one in the bath..it has clary sage in it which might help!

They tend to come out when good and ready....
Only thing she can do is try and relax and not get worked up about it!
Pity she cant get home to her own bed for a night...she would relax more and things might happen!

Still no baby!!!

10 days overdue now, tried everything :confused

Booked in for a section thurs if nothing happening by then :~(

Dadie

Oh well the threat of a section could do it!
Have pals who were threatened with a section who went themselves the night before.
Would they not induce her?
(I take it she is still in raigmore?)

People said not to take it but will try everything,

anyway can't get it anywhere tried everywhere in Thurso and Inverness, well town centre, even found a shop called "Oil and vinegar" and i thought well they must have it, went in and they don't :confused

Not giving up yet tho

Only thing is she is stuck down there and i'm up here and i'm not going down til thurs morning and it'll be too late then :~(

Forgive me for asking but how come she has been done there so long? Wick is very good at monitoring so wouldn't it make more sense for her to come home and go to wick every so often? I know what i'd tell them. They wouldn't get me staying down there that long.

Fingers crossed baby decides to see the world outside the womb on his or her own accord!
