Overdue!!

Mommy0105 · 04-21-2008, 01:51 PM

Today is April 21st. My little girl was due on Friday, April 18th, but seems to be enjoying life inside the womb. I was 100% effaced and 3 cm dialated over a week ago, but obviously she is in no rush to be born as I am still carrying very high and haven't felt even 1 contraction.

My first daughter was born 6 weeks prematurely, so being this pregnant is uncharted territorry for me. I am sooooo thankful to have made it to full term this time, but I am ready to go!!!!

If anybody out there knows of any sure-fire ways to bring about labor, let me know (Yes, I have already tried the sex thing...)

Not a mom, don't ask how I know this...

-Lots of walking.
-Sex (orgasm required!)
-Tweaking the nipples for a period of time, releases a hormone that thins out the cervix.

I know what you are going through. My daughter was 10 days late! I tried it all....

I am happy to report that I am no longer pregnant!

My baby girl, Avery, was finally born on Tuesday, April 22nd - complete with a police escort to the hospital... I guess the sex and hot wings the night before did the trick!

You know you have to tell us more. Police escort??

Congratulations! And don't leave us hanging too long! I fear you've left us in a great state of suspense! :)

Yes really, I am curious about that escort. :0)

I hope everything went well with the delivery. Congratulations!!!!!
