I was induced as my daughter just didn't want to come out. I tried everything - hot curries, smelling lavender oil (they advise against it as it can bring on labour), wishful thinking, everything, but nothing worked. Hope you don't have to wait too much longer cos I know how you feel. Looking forward to an update. Jack xx

Hi I'm afraid there is still no news, its nice to read your messages though there keeping me going. Most of you probably know that this is my 4th and I should be used to it as my 3 girls were all late. Never mind I'll just keep walking around. Liz

Any more news Elizabeth?.. Is this another Harrison! (Craig and Lulu's overdue Baby!) :)

Hi Sorry no news yet, i'm afraid it probably will be, just getting a bit stressed over it as it is so near to christmas and my girls are only just 6,4 and 3, so i want to be slightly fit for them!!! Liz

Hate to tell you but all five of mine were late! 2 boys 7-10 days 1 boy 3 weeks 1 girl 3 weeks and the last a girl 10 days. Good luck hope it's soon! Linda x

Hi Liz, My son was due on the 12th too, that was 3 years ago next week!! I told them at the hospital that i wanted to be induced before christmas (if he didn't arrive on his own that was) and i went in on the 22nd and he was born that day. Just took one lot of gel. There was no way i was spending chrimble day in the hospital!! Came home the day after and was cooking dinner on christmas day - never again though LOL!! I was shattered. Good luck, hope babe arrives soon. xx

Sorry everyone, still no news, just been for a walk, i'll try anything even if I do look funny waddling!!!!! Liz

Maybe we should all really concentrate together for a minute and see if we can will this baby out? What do you think? becx

im with you......lets hold hands and hum! lol xxx

Come on baby... I know it's nice and warm where you are but your mum, dad and sisters want to give you a big hug and kiss! Love becx

hi elizabeth, why not try a hot curry, ive heard that this can work also with my first i drank codliver oil with orange juice it tastes horrible but it worked. hope all goes well for you when it happens, karen

Have just read that apparently 'nipple stimulation' may induce labour.... worth a try I suppose? becx

Discovery Health website: "Nipple stimulation is also not a certain method of inducing labor, but it appears to work in some instances because it can trigger the release of naturally occurring oxytocin in your body."

Thanks for all your replies, you are keeping me going!!! Liz

Errm, dare we ask? :)

Hi everyone, Im afraid Im still here. Dawn, you are ok, i'll be doing the same to you if you go overdue. I wish it would hurry up now. Liz

I'm afraid I'm still here. Chris is going on our nurseries christmas party tonight, obviously i'm not in the mood to go. Hes convinced that it will come tonight as he has not had any alcohol in over 20 days!!!. I think otherwise I'm sure it will still be here and I'll end up getting induced which i dont want to as I was with Megan and it was the worst out of the 3. I will be on here later when I have put the children in bed. Liz

Hopefully hopefully hepefully it will come b4 xmas!! good luck with evrything!"! ill be thinking of you xxx

Big nudgey for Baby! :)

Sorry, yes we are still waiting!! I think the girls are getting fed up with me saying that we may not be here in the morning and that grandma and grandad will, Danielle our eldest just laughed at me when I just said it and said yes you will. Liz
