Good luck. Ours is due in 2 weeks.
There are plenty of old wives tales about inducing labour.......

Long walks, curry, cod liver oil (not recomended now due to high levels of fish oils) and good old sex.

Give them a try, in which ever order you feel like

congratulations,
our first had to be induced, but early due to complications,
I bet you wont get to Friday but when ever the little one decides to make an appearence, enjoy the ride on the emotional roller coaster







A pint for the gent and a white wine/fruit based drink for the lady. Those are the rules

Never hurt me - well except when she squeezed my hand too hard!

I was told a curry & a Sh*g would get the job done, but my missus produced our first 6 weeks early! So I was unrequired!

Good Luck

I was close at hand with both (not quite so close with the second) so that at one point (with the first) my wife got her arm round my neck and was pulling quite tightly with it. So much so that apparently the midwives had to forget about the delivery and extract a blue and semi conscious husband before they could carry on. The last I really remember is one of the girls in there TELLING her to relax and let go of my neck.

When all is done, first hope is that Mother & baby are well, after that anything else is a bonus. Good luck & don't miss the delivery, its better than building ANY car.

I can vouch for the curry and s**g method - for both conception and bringing on labour.

Hey up - was in the same situation 5 months ago

Get to the health food shop and get some ' Rasberry leaf capsuels ' It might help.

Mrs was given the chemicals by the midwives stuff and at 13:00 by 5am the next morning I was a proud dad ( since then I have seen quites a few 5am's .

Oh just found the tread I started there are some tips in there

Be careful with the raspberry leaf tea - it speeds up labour. My wife drank gallons and nearly had the baby in the Royal Free car park!

From the onset of labour to delivery was about 45 mins.

Surely you had some part in the proceedings

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I would recommend curry and sex, or to double the effect curry and sex together, mmm!!

Good luck, we had our 3rd 2 months ago, looks like I am next for a visit to hospital.





Today is a good day: I achieved new heights of ineptitude.
